A Few quick thoughts-
CONGRATS!
I know I don’t update Canaan Smith-Njigba, but every player deserves a shout out the first time they make the trip to the Show for the first time! Congrats and good luck Canaan!
S#!T OR GET OFF THE POT!
Hudson Head is young and I certainly don’t think the Bucs are giving up on him any time soon, but at some point the kid needs to start showing what he’s learned. Shrink the zone kid.
Matt Fraizer. After signs of life his bat has gone silent again. Matt, babe, there’s no time like the present.
WHAT HAPPENED?
I was so excited to see Maikol Escotto in the Jameson Taillon deal. A perfect example of a helium prospect at the time. And despite a high K rate in A ball last year, he looked the part. Let’s be honest: at 19 years old, a lost season(2020) high A was an aggressive placement. I took this as a good sign the new front office would be aggressive(yikes). So a 30% K rate didn’t dissuade me with my admiration with Escotto. All that said, he earned this demotion. Here’s to hoping he gets right and storms back.
CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?
With Esctto being demoted, I will be replacing him with Brennan Malone. Those that follow me know of my prospect crush with Malone, maybe to a fault. So sue me already, I dig his stuff and I’m betting you will too. With that in mind…
Last week I mentioned I considered taking Mason Martin out, and I think the time is right (unfortunately). Give me feedback here, hit me up on Twitter.
To replace or not to replace, that is the question? Don’t be shy about suggesting a replacement either.
WHAT IS TAKING SO LOOOOOONG?
Is the front office just messing with us at this point? There’s just no reason I can think of that these promotions haven’t happened already-
