The most fascinating thing about Kutter Crawford is that his older brother, also a minor league pitcher, is named Jon. How on Earth do you go from "Jon" to "Kutter" when naming your kids?

Kutter is a perfectly dandy name for a boy born in Okeechobee.

Victor Santos pitched 1.2 shutout innings in yesterday's Leones del Escogido 3-2 win. The 21-year-old righty is 2-0 with a 2.84 ERA and nine strikeouts over 6.1 IP so far.

A lot of Baby Kutter’s down your way?

There should be. I guess all babies are named Liam these days.

 

Anyways, here's Wonderwall.

Ceddanne Rafaela, Boston's Minor League Player of the Year, age 21... has speed and some pop: in 102 games at Salem, had 23 SBs, 3 CS, 20 doubles, 9 triples, 10 homers... and plays everywhere: started 51 games in CF, 9 LF, 1 RF, 17 3B, 15 SS, 6 2B. Ian Browne reports "a laser for an arm", with nine assists from OF.

 

Rafaela is 5'8", but if he grows an inch per year by the time he makes the majors, even tall posters may like his future.

You’re very prejudice against short people.

 

May every pharmacy store the muscle relaxants you need for back pain on the bottom shelf…

Oasis reference?

Like Ceddanne Rafaela, I'm also 5'8 and can reach the top shelf (but my drug of choice comes in pint cans).

 

Even though I have played baseball or softball for over 50 years now, I've learned from this forum that my body type is bound to break down and prevent me from playing into my 70s. Ironically, there are several over-70 guys playing in my wood bat hardball league, many shorter than me (it's an age thing, curvature of the bell curve; Mookie will be 5'2 by the time he's makes our team).

 

None of us are prospects, but some are prospectors... most have good prospects.

[notin]

Oasis reference?

 

I cut him some slack and assumed Liam Gallagher was the only Liam he could name. Although Liam Neeson might take umbrage. So don’t tell him.

 

I also assume his Liam Gallagher reference was to the singer/songwriter from Oasis and not the character on “Shameless”…

Noah Song to pitch in 2022?

Unfortunately, Tomase's article has NO new details. For someone with access to management, you think he'd be able to get some quotes about where this stands.

"Here's some conjecture without any real analysis. Were you hoping for quotes from people I have access to? LOL."

 

Tomase will always be the worst.

Tomase, October 2021 ALDS: "Rays in three."

@SoxProspects

Pedro Castellanos went 3-for-4 with two doubles (4) in yesterday's 4-1 Cardenales de Lara loss. The 23-year-old slugger has been on a roll since the start of the Venezuelan Winter League slashing .288/.315/.558 with four home runs over 54 PA.

 

This is a guy who showed lots of BP power, but never really found it in game. 15 HR in 321 games from 2016-2019. He had a career high 13 this year at Portland. The only problem is that he also had a career low in doubles. He's 6'3" and not athletic. Future 1B/DH who was pushed to the OF in 2021 because the doesn't have an organizational path forward at 1B. Current 49th ranked prospect who peaked at #16 prior to 2018 season.

Bryan Mata was the Sox' top pitching prospect before TJ surgery. Let's hope he doesn't take several years to recover like Groome has.

He and Ward are both likely to be out until August/September this year. So a minimum of 2 more years before they enter any kind of discussion about being on the parent club...

I'll wait to reinstate him in my top 10.

 

I'd probably put Song there, too, but I'll wait on him, too.

With one more game to play, Casas is leading the AFL with a 495 OBP. Slash line is 372/495/487.

Pedro Castellanos belted a three-run homer for Cardenales de Lara is their 10-9 loss yesterday. The 23-year-old slugger has been off to a strong start in this year's Venezuelan Winter League batting .324 with five home runs and 13 RBI over 80 PA.
