22 years old, and was in High A for the Pirates. At High A, he's had a 5-4 record, with a 3.38 era, over 88 innings. In those 88 innings, he's 61 hits, with 108 k's, and 41 bb's.  That looks like an interesting arm.

Johnson/Baumeister replacement.

Trading for now, trading for later.

Honestly surprised prospect-for-prospect deals don't happen more often

Best trade of the day. He’s a stud, top 5 pitching prospect in the system immediately. Cook is rule 5 eligible and had no role here.

Im honestly not trying to be an ass but how can he automatically slot into the top 5 in the system but 2 weeks ago we were touting how great the pitching development is and its the year of the pitcher. I know we lost Baumeister and Johnson. I just think the pitching has been underwhelming. Especially above A ball. Its pretty damn barren IMO once you reach Bowie

And let me say that I trust what you say and you are my go to on these guys below Bowie. I dont really know a bunch of names below Bowie. For all I know, A ball and below is loaded with arms. I just know that for me I start paying closer attention at Bowie and then especially AAA once they start using the MLB ball. I just dont see much in the upper levels

De Leon struggling at Aberdeen is a bummer. Forret, Portes, Fruit, Gibson, Nunez (what's up with him, Bob?) all worth keeping an eye on at Aberdeen.

German, Money, Cooper, Bragg in Delmarva.

A ball and below are loaded with arms. And Reilly is as talented as anyone in the system. Povich, McDermott, De Leon, and Young ahead of him. Bright, Nunez, Weston, Brnovich, Portes, Forret, Gibson, Fruit, Pham, Lord, German, Money, Cooper, Bragg, etc behind him.

Nunez hasn't pitched since May 9th. Assuming another TJS victim.

Still as high on De Leon even with his struggles at Aberdeen?

Yeah the stuff is still there and he’s very young.

Already assigned to Bowie. Huge arm acquired at the deadline for Billy Cook. Could end up being a major steal.

A+

3.38 ERA, 88 IP, 61 H, 14 HR, 41 BB, 108 K

.664 OOPS, 11.05 K/9, 4.19 BB/9, 1.43 HR/9, 6.24 H/9

Giving up the HR seems to be his major weakness and obviously the control.
