Had to be up at 5 so woke up at 4 instead to watch a little MLB/Japan series.

Acuña hitting 3rd for MLB All Stars. Hit a double off the LCF wall in his first AB.

As we enter trading and prospect season, here is my top 20. I've seen 14 of these guys in person and 12 of those at multiple levels.

1. Ian Anderson, RHP (Likely 2019 Starting Level: AA)
2. Mike Soroka, RHP (MLB)
3. Cristian Pache, OF (AA)
4. Kyle Wright, RHP (AAA)
5. Touki Toussaint, RHP (MLB)
6. Austin Riley, 3B (AAA)
7. Drew Waters, OF (A+)
8. Luiz Gohara, LHP (AAA)
9. Bryse Wilson, RHP (AAA)
10. William Contreras, C (A+)
11. Joey Wentz, LHP (AA)
12. Kyle Muller, LHP (AA)
13. Kolby Allard, LHP (AAA)
14. Tristan Beck, RHP (A)
15. Greyson Jenista, OF (A+)
16. Chad Sobotka, RHP (MLB)
17. C.J. Alexander, 3B (A+)
18. Freddy Tarnok, RHP (A+)
19. Huascar Ynoa, RHP (A+)
20. Patrick Weigel, RHP (AAA)

As you can see, we can certainly afford to trade some pitching. There is an actual logjam being created that will limit merit based promotions, despite "never being able to have too much pitching"

We also need to find a way to inject some position player talent in to the system. The strategy of the rebuild was obviously to draft pitching and sign and develop hitting internationally, but with the sanctions there isn't much hitting at all in our lower minors.
