Okay, so I think that right now we can look at Colt and say well, this isn't going very well but it's not that bad, either.

However, I checked in to see how all of our top prospects are doing and other than Kade Anderson they're really not doing well at all, especially Ryan Sloan who has been pummeled at Arkansas and really hasn't put up good numbers in the minors at all. Thankfully he's a pitcher and they just need to get his brain can catch up to his stuff.
Sloan pitched well in Modesto and then they moved him to Everett and he got shelled so they said, "Hey let's move him up to AA" where he is about 5 years younger than the average hitter. Shocking it hasn't gone well.

Regarding Emerson. He is a UNANIMOUS top 10 prospect in baseball by every single prospect rating service. I just don't get it.

Arroyo and Laz have not been great but both have OPS over .750. Laz hits a few bombs which he tends to do in bunches and he is in the mid 800s. They are both VERY young for AA and it is still over a week until we hit May.

Welp, probably too early to toot my horn on wanting Murakami... got knows in an M's uniform he'd have 1 HR and a 50% K rate...

God also knows a .978 OPS and 9 bombs would really be helping the M's right now.

He's also doing what he did in Japan... a lot of K's... yes. But also walking a ton.
