Friday news and notes

Baseball America released its International League Top 20 prospects today. Devin Mesoraco (3), Zack Cozart (11), Yonder Alonso (13) and Todd Frazier (20) all made the list. Mesoraco was the leagues top position prospect.  I would have had Alonso ahead of Cozart and I imagine that on the Reds Top 10 that will come out later, Alonso will be ahead of Cozart. I was surprised to see Frazier at the end of the list. Good showing for the Reds.

Yesterday in the AFL Brodie Greene went 1-4 with a walk, RBI and a run.

In the IBAF Baseball World Cup here is how the Reds prospects performed on Thursday:

  • Neftali Soto (Puerto Rico): 0-3, HBP.
  • Didi Gregrorius (Netherlands): 3-4 with a run.
  • Donald Lutz (Germany): 1-3 with a walk and a run.

Tonight is going to be fun. I will be rooting for the Brewers and the Phillies. Two game fives is going to be awesome.
