-Bart is batting .545 (6-for-11) through six games. [this spring]
-Bart is expected to begin the 2020 season in Triple-A Sacramento, but should make it to San Francisco for his big league debut at some point this year.
-The Giants are working with Bart this spring to improve his framing behind the plate. They want him to get under the ball when receiving pitches as he sometimes dropped catchable balls last season. His arm strength, however, is apparent.

MLB.COM's 30 pitching prospects off to blazing starts: https://www.mlb.com/news/pitching-prospects-off-to-hot-starts-2021

Indians: Xzavion Curry, RHP (unranked on Indians Top 30)
A seventh-round pick out of Georgia Tech in 2019, Curry didn't make his pro debut until this spring because he had shoulder inflammation when he signed and the coronavirus pandemic wiped out the Minor League schedule last year. He's carving up Low-A hitters with the riding action on his 92-94 mph fastball, going 3-0 with a 1.07 ERA, .135 opponent average and 38/4 K/BB ratio in 25 1/3 innings.

I had a habit of listening to Mets minor league affiliate games until COVID cancelled their season last year. Every once and a while, I'd hear a familiar name from Tech playing against the Mets club.

Tonight was the first time I listened to a Mets minor league game since at least 2019, maybe 2018. Caught Jon Boy pitching against Brooklyn. 4 2/3, 0 R, 4 H, 3 BB, 4 K's. No score into the 6th, so no decision. But a solid start for Hughes.

Looks like Connor Thomas just might be in line for a shot at the show after strong AA and AAA starts this year. https://www.vivaelbirdos.com/2021/6/27/22552675/on-the-cardinals-rotation-adjustments

If so, I'd love to see him pitch in Cincinnati!

Luke Waddell has a slot value of $333, 300(projected to sign for under slot).
Malloy, $257,400.
Yeah, my thought when the Braves took Waddell and JHM back to back was to try to get a hometown discount to be able to assign other pool money in other places. Could be wrong, but first thoughts.
