Some very good lines yesterday --- nice to see Walters and Aleman both at work; Doughty with his best pro outing; Messick progressing; Velazquez still can't hit a single [all hits this month are for extra bases] but we can live with a 434 Slugging average for a 19 year old in HIgh A ball.

On the mound today:

Cicconi in AAA 3rd rehab start
Davenport in AA after his stellar outing last time out
Humphries in High A, doing a little better than in Low A last year
I don't have a name for Lynchburg; what I known is that Zibin is not active
and Arizona League takes Sunday off

Clippers needed a better middle infielder to anchor their defense. That should help them.
Not too sure what they'll use Brennan for since Martinez and Jones and Kwan are all LH outfielders.
"Brennan has been on a hot streak, hitting .304/.340/.419 with an OPS of .759 in 148 minor league at-bats." Which doesn't really add up to that much.

ANOTHER STELLAR outing by Aaron Davenport 6 2 0 0 1 7. Cooper Ingle 2 run homer, his 4th
Cecconi 5 6 2 2 0 3 Kayfus single; Brennan 2 walks, Cairo 3 singles
Humphries 3.2 2 1 1 4 5 He nearly always walks too many. Devers 14th double and single; Knapczyk double single steal [327 avt]
Lynchburg won 15-5 but even then top 10 prospect Francisca was hitless [157/522 OPS]; Hawke 3 singles, 2 walks, steals #34 and 35, not sure why he's still in Low A

MLB Pipeline update
When it comes to baseball’s prospect landscape, things can change in a hurry. MLB Pipeline’s updated Top 100 prospects list is evidence of that.



With several MLB rookies graduating off the list and a number of players turning heads with their early-season performances in the Minors, our prospect experts couldn’t resist giving the rankings a refresh to account for what they’ve seen so far in 2025.
Not much movement if any for our guys, since 3 of the 4 have been hurt
Bazzana 12
DeLauter 52
