It’s the start of the 2022 MLB Draft, but we’ve still got games today, too. Mixed results from the big league rehabbers in Louisville, Alex McGarry hit his organizational best 21st homer and Ivan Johnson extended his hitting streak to 16 games for Chattanooga, and Steven Leyton hit another homer for Daytona.

We need some guys to get healthy. McClain, Urbaez, Jackson Miller, Bryce Bonin, Rece Hinds, Lyon Richardson, Yomil Maysonet, Jay Allen. We have a huge gap between our young major leaguers and the Arizona Complex team hitters & pitchers. We need those guys to get their health back.
Confidan another huge one too. He has a chance to be great
Nick Quintana has very consistent stats between Dayton and Chattanooga. Might end up being a solid pickup, even if it is as inclusion piece in a trade.
