Matias’ power display is legitimate and real.

He’s still very young for that level and needs development, but his ability to punish the Baseball is rare. He absolutely needs to make progress with his K rate.

He’s one of many encouraging performances, though. Lee is having a strong campaign in an awful hitters environment. Mondesi and Staumont are having the starts you’d like to see in Omaha.

Pratto is hitting for more power with less average than expected but still good.

And then there’s MJ Melendez, who is exceeding all expectations. He’s showing nearly as much power as Matias, but with plus defense at a key defensive position and better K rate and average.

He’s my no 1 prospect.

Can you tell me why Pratto plays 1B? By all accounts he is above-average athlete, can throw 90 mph, and is decent with the glove. Seems like a completely waste of talent letting him rot at 1B. Kind of like Eric Hosmer. It was always maddening to me that Eric Hosmer was always relegated to 1B. Even more strange someone gave him as big of a contract to a FIRST BASEMAN. GM's still haven't learned.

Hosmer is left handed so you couldn't put him at any other infield position. And if you remember they actually did play him in RF on occasion early in his career so Billy Butler could play 1B in interleague. I don't think they thought very highly of his defense out there.

Yeah, because he basically borderline pouted that he had to play it. And had a mental block that he just wasn't an outfielder. 1B is where you put the fat guy or the aging slugger. Not an athletic dude with a cannon.

This is a good thing.

I didn’t think they would be this bad, but if you’re going to be bad, be really bad. It’s an unintentional tank (I think?) but it’s still a tank job.
