House keeping items: I published a Padres list last week. Eric and James pushed the Cubs list out the door yesterday.
2:03
Eric and I are working on the Orioles. It is a very different flavor of system than KC and SD to say the least
Tri-City and Spokane is going on in the background... And away we go

Thoughts on tyler bremner's start? Should he be promoted?
Brendan Gawlowski
2:04
Speak of the devil, Bremner is starting in this game
Saw Bremner a few weeks back, wrote him up here.
2:05
Want to see him throw more sliders regardless of where he does it. Seems like AA would be an appropriate test at this point.
Gary
2:05
Who was higher on Pedro Ramirez? You or Eric?
Brendan Gawlowski
2:05
Eric but he also did a lot more work on that than I did. I support his judgment.

Are Jamie Arnold and Tyler Bremner worth hanging on to in deep keeper leagues
Brendan Gawlowski
2:05
I can't imagine they're not

Thoughts on Arjun Nimmala’s start to the year + the move to AA
Brendan Gawlowski
2:07
He's been good, particularly over the last three weeks or so. I don't think this is hasty. I suspect he's not going to move super quickly through the upper minors and that his profile will look better and better as he gets stronger.

What do you make of the recent Guardians promotions? Chourio got to be getting back to top100 status with his recent play?
Brendan Gawlowski
2:08
Bazzana promotion seems appropriate. Chourio I think you could justify either approach. I'm not ready to jump all in on him though.
Gary

Has Argenis Cayama caught the eye of the prospect team?
Brendan Gawlowski
2:08
Saw him last spring, like him, in a 40, maybe 40+ sort of way

Plenty of Guardians breakout in the minors this season. Who has a chance of a top100 appearance? Robert Arias/Walton/Ingle/Caceres?
Brendan Gawlowski
2:08
Arias the leader in the clubhouse there
Sean Keys
2:08
you said to circle back next week when you did a deep dive on him. What’s the thoughts?
Brendan Gawlowski
2:08
Looks pretty similar to me.
2:09
If you want to feel optimistic about the guy, he has a couple round up traits. Extremely good pre-game work, plays his butt off. Everybody seems to like him.

Where does Anthony Volpe land on the latest top 100?
Brendan Gawlowski
2:10
A good reminder that this game moves fast. A year ago, Volpe and his torpedo bat were breaking out. Colson Montgomery couldn't make contact in AAA and was in the complex.

Was the Padres system about what you expected going into the process, or were there any "surprises" either good or bad?
Brendan Gawlowski
2:11
Schoolcraft was rawer, Fountain got hurt, Cruz's career is in jeopardy... Lot of surprises, most of them bad.
Su was the pleasant surprise.
And obviously good timing on Salas starting to hit
Kumar Rocker in the House Tonight
2:11
I know he’s a prospect no more, but I’m curious about Kumar Rocker, a former top 100 guy and high pick who has struggled. Is this who he is, or does that pedigree suggest more?
Brendan Gawlowski
2:12
Much like mountain weather, if you're not happy with what Kumar looks like at the moment, wait 30 minutes, he may be a completely different guy.

What are your thoughts on Blake Mitchell?  What prospects have been like him that have power but also have a K and BB rate above 30%?
Brendan Gawlowski
2:12
He's trolling this season
Absurdly three true outcomes oriented
2:13
Which he already was and now he's found another gear
I still like him, I'm glad we ranked him. Curious to see how the approach plays against better arms.
Scott
2:13
Not sure who is working Boston’s list, but any changes on Jake Bennet since the trade?
Brendan Gawlowski
2:14
Looks like a 45 to me
