Personally, I do watch other baseball, since I have the mlb.tv premium app. Syracuse Binghamton Brooklyn St Lucie... I have not watched much of the lower level games, mostly AAA Syracuse. Do you have any scouting insight into some of the guys that we got back in trades? Or any pitching that you like?

Acuna looks like a beast, Consuguera has hit three homers in the three games I was able to watch.
We actually were in Durham to see the Syracuse series (its about 45 minutes from us), I know you said you watched Syracuse some, but Mauricio looked ridiculously good live. He's definitely got the hit tool and speed.
We saw him take a low, outside slider (our seats were third row directly behind home plate, gotta love minor league baseball) and hit a laser beam the other way for a homer, next at bat beat out a grounder that was maybe ten feet from home, steal second, and go to third on the error and score on a grounder to second.
In the field, he's got a very good arm, but looks a bit uncomfortable.

Thanks Brian...
On MLB network, they were talking about Mauricio the other day... mostly positive comments...
the old guy that used to be the Rockies gm, called Mauricio a "high waisted" middle infielder... meaning that it's harder for him to get down low enough for some grounders, thinking that he'll eventually be a corner fielder (could be either infielder corners or the outfield corners)

He should have played more at 3B. He's definitely got an arm that would be wasted at 2B, and I think Acuna could be a long-term 2B option, moving McNeil to RF, Nimmo to LF, and Jett Williams as the CF.
