Lots of eye popping numbers from the guys down on the farm.

[jordan]

I’m sure I’m with the majority, I’d like to see JMF soon. But now that Kinsler is hitting (which is good for the team), we may not see him until September. 

 

Canning is super impressive along with Saurez. 

 

And who is Jeremy Rhoades?  I’ve not heard anyone mention him. Those numbers show me he might be ready for a role on the big club.

The problem with JMF is that he is 30 years old....If he were 22, you wouldn't mind keeping him at SLC but, at 30, his clock is ticking.....I'd like to see what he can do....

[totdprods]

I think worst-case scenario, JMF is added to the 40 in September. They'll still have control over him for foreseeable future. 

There isn't really playing time for him until one of Valbuena (who has heated up) or Marte (who has cooled off) drop to a point where they need to be cut.

The review is nice, but I was hoping for something a little more comprehensive.

We have our mid-season top-30 prospects list in the works.

You just wanted me to give you the MEOW reaction.

Well, to be honest - I have no idea what a MEOW reaction is even supposed to mean!

 I'll let @red321 & @RallyMo explain since they requested it.

I think it's time for me to go back and delete my post...

[red321]

Meeeeowwwww....is whatever the hell you want it to be!

But the originating idea was a sarcastic mocking katty response to someone who is trying to take a shot at someone else...usually a shitty comeback along the lines of I know you are but what am I. Laughing or downvoting wasn't enough...we needed to be able to communicate just how lame the response was.

Impressive...  Chuck has his own bat signal.

What happens if I say Beetlejuice three times?

It's a little disconcerting how fast you two appeared in this thread. 

Is Chuck's real name Damien?

I'm looking out my window to see if there are any black ravens hovering around.
