Cape League took a couple hits in the press recently (Joe Doyle article, Kendall Roger's tweet).

I don't have super strong feelings on Cape trajectory. It makes sense that the league would get caught up in the collateral damage from the NIL/transfer portal developments and a later draft
And if the draft moves up again in the next CBA (prayer emoji) maybe that helps the league attract more talent again
3:08
But if you're a fan of the league, I think the things that make it special to go are mostly still in place. There's just a little less talent.

A couple weeks ago you asked a chatter to check back with you on Eric Hartman and some other Braves prospects who were promoted to AA.  Do you have early thoughts on what you saw from Hartman, Gil, Lodise, Carey, etc.?

Ideally, you'd have liked to see fewer strikeouts from Carey/Hartman but it's the end of a long season for some very young guys. Getting to AA at 19 and 20 is impressive and it's not alarming in and of itself that those two didn't play well.
Gil/Lodise were better but not really in a way that moves the needle much for me

Have you seen anything in his profile that makes you think Davalan can play 2nd?

Athletic enough to do it, don't have much of a sense for how the hands will work on the dirt.

Has your assessment of any Braves prospects changed in recent months?
Brendan Gawlowski
Mostly backburnered since, but I'll presumably be writing them up again this winter

What is your replacement level standard for restaurants? Given, of course, that replacement level is not a high bar

Is there anyone on the Rockies 40 man+60 day that will be on their next 81 win team?
Brendan Gawlowski

Amador, of course
3:16
In all seriousness, I would guess "yes" but there's still a long way to go here, obviously.

Going to shut it down here today. Thanks as always for stopping by. Catch you at a ballpark in Arizona next week!
