Gutierrez is probably a UTIL guy or back at Omaha for a bit.
O’Hearn’s batted ball profiles and peripherals are still good and better than last year (walks up, ks down, swing rate down, hard hit up). He’s hitting the ball on the ground more and getting BAbIPED To death. I think he will rebound. [Reply]

Yep. Not worried about ROH in the least. Owings and Hamilton can eat my asshole tho. [Reply]

Not sure. But Kris Bubic is tearing shit up at Lexington (same draft, late first round). He seems to be emerging from that 4 pack (Singer, Kowar, Bubic, Lynch) that the Royals selected early last year. If 2 of those 4 can ‘hit’, the Royals could have a pretty damn good rotation come 2021 or 2022. [Reply]

They're all off to decent starts statistically, at least.
Lynch - 30 IP, 3.90 ERA, 9 BB/28 K
Singer - 27 IP, 2.93 ERA, 8 BB/24 K
Kowar - 26 IP, 3.08 ERA, 11 BB/26 K [Reply]
Daniel Lynch, Brady Singer, and Jackson Kowar have been pretty good starters for Wilmington Blue Rocks. Lynch in 30 innings, 28 SO, 9 BB, 3.90 ERA. Singer 27.2 innings, 24 SO, 8 BB, and 2.93 ERA. Kowar 26.1 innings, 26 SO, 11 BB and 3.08 ERA. Lynch has had 6 starts and Singer and Kowar have each had 5 starts.
Wilmington also has 3 relief pitchers Collin Snider, Tyler Zuber, and Tad Ratliff that have been doing pretty well. Ratliff has 7 saves. Snider has 19.1 innings of relief in 8 games.
The bad news...well go look at 1B Nick Pratto, C MJ Melendez, CF Marten Gasparini and RF Seuly Matias for their stats.
Good news, bad news - 22 year old CF Kyle Isbel was off to a hot start batting .348 with 2 HRs, 5 steals and 15.4 percent strikeout rate in 13 games but a ball went off his face and he has been on the injured list. [Reply]

Bubic has the lowest ceiling of those guys. Great deception and a good changeup, but lacks the velo to be more than a back end guy, in all likelihood.
I could see a Marco Gonzales-ish outcome for him. [Reply]

Eight times Chris Owings has come to the plate with a runner on third and less than two outs. In that situation, he has yet to bring a single runner home. https://twitter.com/CraigBrown_BP/st...224550401?s=17
