Alexander Ramirez shows exactly how he's been described so far. Athletic frame and motions. Above average runner, with plus pop and decent pitch recognition. But his swing is too long.

Vera, I'm just not convinced either of his swings work in their current iteration. The timing is off, too big of a step, useless bat waggle. He certainly features ideal size, athleticism and plate discipline to advance, but he looks very raw to me and needs a major overhaul in his in-game swing.

What will we do without Ahearn's 0-7 record, 7.20 ERA, and 2.022 WHIP?!

[jsnpritchett]

Also, Taylor Ahearn is not to be confused with TYLER Ahearn:

...and neither one should be confused with Tyrone Taylor:

Best news is, plenty of time to work with 18 year-olds.

Can't wait.

Soon we'll have too many good pitchers and not enough good hitters. We'll trade the wrong pitchers for the wrong hitters just when we start to need more good pitchers again!

On today's BA Prospect Hotlist, Yan cracks the list. 

Looking like a good relief option in the future.

19. Hector Yan, LHP, Angels
Team: High-A Tri-City (West)
Age: 22

Why He’s Here: 1-0, 0.00, 1 G, 4.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 11 SO

The Scoop: Yan posted a career-best 4.3 walks per nine innings at Low-A Burlington in 2019, but he’s taken a step back this year in the strike-throwing department, with 43 through his first 68.1 innings, leading to a move to the bullpen. He’s pitched at least 3.1 innings in each of his three relief appearances while utilizing his four-pitch mix. He dominated in his latest appearance, striking out 11 and walking four over 4.2 innings in relief to earn his third win of the season. Yan induced 19 swings and misses. (CHT)

Read this morning that Oliver Ortega is on his way up to Anaheim.

I wonder who gets the boot?  Guerra?

Hope so. Or Bundy.

Bundy is still on the IL.

Ah okay. Honestly, he'll probably just stay there the rest of the season. His velo was already dipping, but in his last start it dropped like 5-6 MPH. 

[Stradling]

Tell us what we need to know about Ortega.

He's a Libra, he likes long walks on the beach, and his favorite color is magenta. 

Also throws hard, can touch 98, has a CB that comes and goes but is very good when its on -- his best put-away pitch probably long term.  He also has a changeup that's pretty awful most of the time.

[tdawg87]

He makes pretty good chiles.

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Such a caring listener.  And his arms, when wrapped around you, feel like your favorite sweater.

[Angel Oracle]

Oliver Ortega, come on down!

You’re the 60th contestant on “Halos Chase the MLB record for players used”!

[Angelsjunky]

Ortega has the potential to be a very good reliever, but his outcome is rather volatile. 

[T.G.]

Is there an echo in here?

Maybe Wong, with them going back to a 3-man bench? Otherwise, maybe Kyle Tyler- though it'd suck for him to get his first MLB callup and not even pitch in a game.
