Glad to see Victor Black tearing up AA, I'd like to see him promoted to AAA while Morris takes over Lincolns position in the majors.

What did you mean on twitter when you said that Polanco's tools are louder?

Just more tools and more projection.

Who has the higher offensive ceiling of Segura and Lindor?

I think the real differentiating factor is Lindor is a clear shortstop, whereas Segura is good enough at shortstop to allow his bat to play.

Hi Kevin,
I think the Phillies system could be pretty impressive next year. They have a lot of guys that, when you look at, say that he is an interesting guy to follow. Most of that talent is at the lower levels, but in a year or two, it could be pretty impressive. Specifically, Larry Greene, Mitch Walding, Carlos Tocci, Adam Morgan, Roman Quinn, Dylan Cozens, Zach Green and Maikel Franco, to name a few. Who do you think has the highest ceiling of this group? Thank you.

That's also betting on a lot of guys in the lower levels who haven't proven anything, so it could be pretty awful next year as well. They have some stuff to dream on. But it's not a very good system right now.

To be fair, he hasn't done anything to show he's big-league ready this year.

Marc Krauss is now 5-for-11 in three games with the Astros' AA team, a double and four bombs. Who needs singles anyway? Thanks, Chris Johnson!
