Today I'll review the names I've looked at in the Deep Sea Diving series thus far. Aside from the previous post, I've covered 39 players across 4 articles. This differs quite a bit from the reviews that the Dynasty Baseball Pickups crew just completed. While I make some pickup recommendations in this series, there are many players that I've been disinterested in or viewed as a watch list player. My goal is to look at players with low Fantrax ownership who are popping up on PLIVE+ in one way or another and find if there is some overlooked potential.

The PLIVE+ tool can be found here and is an invaluable resource. You can upload and filter your Fantrax free agent pool to see who is available in your leagues:

5/12/25 - Hitters with Interesting Projection Profiles

There are some fun players covered here including the the biggest Deep Sea Diving breakout player in Esmerlyn Valdez.

Results:
Five out of the six players improved their ownership rates and three improved their PLIVE+. Two of them have been promoted to a higher level.

Ryan Ward, 1B/RF LAD (Triple-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 1% -> 2%
PLIVE+: 121 -> 128

We have the obviously small samples size caveat here, but the 27 year-old Ward could finally be forcing a call up (or trade) and could end up playing well in a platoon situation. Obviously he's an add more in deeper leagues where a decent strong side platoon bat is valuable.

Covered again in the 6/18/25 - Mining the Monthly Movers article:

On any other team I think Ward would already be up. Since covering him last month he's maintained, if not improved his already outstanding Triple-A numbers. Still just a strong side platoon, but a potentially good one!

Ward has continued to be incredibly consistent at the plate all season, patiently waiting for an opening at the big league level. He's generated a 146 wRC+ on the season hitting 24 HR over 404 PA. At 27 years old he leads Triple-A in OPS among players with at least 300 PA at the level. I truly hope that Ward is traded because he's more than earned it. He remains a good stash candidate in deep leagues just in case that happens.

Esmerlyn Valdez, 1B/OF PIT (Double-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 1% -> 10%
PLIVE+: 133 -> 141

With the projected 29.9% K he barely meets the standards of this search. But if you're wanting to take a chance on a low-owned player who can actually mash and is likely to rise in trade value, Valdez is your guy.

Valdez continued to mash to the tune of a 171 wRC+ in High-A, lowering the strikeouts to a 24.5 K%. At the start of July he was promoted to Double-A and while the impact hasn't been there in those 10 games, he's demonstrated great contact rates over the small sample. We're going to take a massive W on this one.

Hendry Mendez, LF PHI (Double-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 1% -> 2%
PLIVE+: 124 -> 131

Despite being listed as 6'3" and 175 lbs, he's shown minimal over the fence power as highlighted by the 9 HR per 600 PA peak projection. But great contact, swing decisions while being young for level still points to the potential of a future MLB bat and is already at Double-A. If any power emerges or if he starts making contact at Luis Arraez levels, it'll be time to jump, but until then we just need to know the name.

Neither of those two things happened for Mendez, but he's made incremental improvements with an 86.8% Contact and .149 ISO so far this season. You really have to dream on the hit tool translating into more power here but I'm a definitely more interested than I was 2 months ago.

Sam Antonacci, 2B/3B CHW (Double-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 1% -> 3%
PLIVE+: 138 -> 137

I'm really interested to see what Antonacci does when he gets an opportunity to face upper-minor pitching and if he can maintain the contact rates. I'd add him in a churn spot in 15+ team leagues with 400+ prospects rostered.

It took over 2 months, but Antonacci was finally promoted to Double-A. His final line at High-A: 287 PA, 4 HR, 27 SB, 13.6% BB, 12.9% K, 151 wRC+.

Adrian Pinto, 2B TOR (High-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 1% -> 2%
PLIVE+: 135 -> 134

Peak projections have him with 18 HR, 17 SB, 8.4% BB, and 19.9% K, which looks realistic if he can continue development at higher levels. Summarizing a messy historical profile is what I love about PLIVE+ and Jordan Rosenblum's projections.

Unfortunately, Pinto has been out with an unspecified injury since writing him up. This is also somewhat of a trend. He only logged 149 PA in 2023 and 112 PA in 2024. The potential is here, but we can't see it if he's not on the field.

John Gil, SS ATL (Single-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 2% -> 2%
PLIVE+: 125 -> 121

Given that Gil is solid defensively, still not quite 19 years old, and has a little bit of a frame to fill out at 6'1" 175 lbs makes for an interesting ceiling.

It's been stolen bases and not much else for Gil. The .225/.321/.290 seasonal slash is not going to cut it, but he's still just 19 years old. I don't have all that much interest in him without seeing more at the plate.

5/14/25 - Pitchers with Interesting Projection Profiles

I had come away with this group of pitchers a touch unimpressed and still feel that way today, outside of Bryce Mayer.

Results:
Only one of the six players continued to improve their PLIVE- while two increased their ownership percentage. One pitcher wouldn't throw another inning due to injury.

Jackson Kent, LHP WSN (High-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 2% -> 2%
PLIVE-: 82 -> 96

Kent has a starters build and a full arsenal and could move quickly. He ended up 498th on our recent Top 600+ fantasy prospect rankings and 500+ is about the depth of league where I'd be looking to add him.

Despite a strong step back in PLIVE- since writing him up, the 26% K and 7% BB are solid across his 15 High-A starts. There were some HR issues, but he's allowed just one over his last 5 starts. It's likely he sees Double-A at some point before the season is over. There are certainly more interesting pitchers out there, but Kent is one of those guys that's consistently going 5-6 IP per start.

Griffin Herring, LHP NYY (High-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 2% -> 4%
PLIVE-: 84 -> 87

He's got a good frame on him and is another pitcher I'd be a bit more interested in if he added a couple ticks of velo. Given he's a Yankees pitcher he's bound to have a bit more interest from the general public and maybe that's for good reason. They've become a minor league pitching factory supplying the back end of rotations throughout the major leagues.

Herring had some dominant Single-A starts and while the ERA has remained solid upon his promotion to High-A in June, the walks have been more of an issue. I really believe he's getting the Yankees ownership bump here.

Bryce Mayer, RHP HOU (Double-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 1% -> 2%
PLIVE-: 94 -> 85

I love that he's already been moved up to High-A and that we're seeing a late round pitcher have a little early success with the Astros. He's still got to build up the innings but there's some intriguing upside in the 1% owned Mayer.

Mayer is now on his 3rd level of the season with 3 appearances now at Double-A. I got a couple shares of Mayer and love that he's getting pushed aggressively by an org that makes something out of no-pedigree pitchers. If there is one recommendation in this article, it's to go grab a share of Bryce Mayer in a league with 400+ prospects rostered.

Greg Farone, LHP SF (High-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 0%
PLIVE-: 83 -> 90

Despite the fastball not having standout velo, he's generating whiffs with the pitch while throwing it over 70% of the time. It's easy to dream on increased velo with that frame, but we'll need to see how the arsenal plays against higher competition levels before getting too excited.

Farone earned a promotion to High-A in late June but has struggled over his three starts at the new level. The walks became more of an issue after the initial writeup at Single-A and that's continued. There were some gaudy strikeout numbers against the lower level competition, but he maxed out at 5 IP per start. I like the 6-6 240 lbs frame out of a LHP but we need to see more before really considering him outside of the deepest leagues.

Mason Marriott, RHP ARI (High-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 0%
PLIVE-: 85 -> 84

Unfortunately, Marriott is currently on the 7-day IL with an undisclosed injury and hasn't appeared in a game since his High-A pitcher of the week performance on 4/26. Obviously we need to see him back on the mound first. But this is a deeper league pitcher spec at present.

Marriott still hasn't seen game action since April and it looks like he'll be out for the season with the undisclosed injury. Wish him the best on getting back on the mound next year.

Cole Peschl, RHP MIN (High-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 0%
PLIVE-: 83 -> 90

While the kitchen-sink approach may work in the low minors, he's likely going to need to add velo and/or develop his pitches further to make the same impact at higher levels. Thankfully the 22 year old looks strong with a solid 6'1" 215 lb frame. There's something to work with here and certainly monitor as mechanical tweaks could lead to more velo.

After writing him up, his next start would be up a level in High-A and he's been there for the last two months. While the walk rate has been fantastic, the K rate has plummeted. I had ranked him last among these starters at the end of the article and stand by that position now (given Marriott returns healthy).

6/6/25 - Old for Level Hitters

This is probably my favorite article I've written this year. It was fun to dig into players who are improving and making a new case for themselves after struggling, grinding, or being passed over.

Results:
After a month and a half, from the Triple-A group, 3 of the 7 players made their MLB debut. Of the players from levels Double-A and lower, 5 of the 10 players earned a promotion to the next level.

Ernesto Martinez Jr., 1B MIL (Triple-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 8% -> 5%
PLIVE+: 141 -> 136

There's not a ton of room in the bigs for Martinez due to a resurgent Rhys Hoskins at 1B and Christian Yelich in the DH spot. However, I do think Martinez will end up cracking the roster at some point this season, it's just not as immanent as we thought.

The bat has gone into a slumber since this update on Martinez as he's posted a 79 wRC+ with a 33.3% K over 72 PA. In that time they also traded for Andrew Vaughn really clouding the path for a big league debut this season. Still have my original concerns about the lack of game power.

Anthony Seigler, C/2B/3B MIL (MLB)

Fantrax Rostered: 1% -> 4%
PLIVE+: 116 -> 111

With Caleb Durbin struggling in his first taste of the bigs and Seigler beginning to get some work at 3B, I wouldn't be surprised to see him get called up soon.

We got one call up correct! It took nearly a month, but Seigler was recalled at the beginning of July. Because Caleb Durbin turned it around, Seigler has been a bench bat only started 3 out of 12 games and has 2 singles over 12 PA. Not sure if there ends up being any impact from Seigler in the big leagues, but he's got an incredible story of being cast aside, peaking at Double-A, to the majors in half a year.

Will Robertson, OF TOR (MLB)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 1%
PLIVE+: 109 -> 123

The 27 year old is enjoying improved chase and in-zone contact after year's of BB% on the wrong side of 10% and K% in the high 20's. He's also been on an absolute tear over the last 10 games, hitting 7 HR, including a 3 HR game. It does like he'll end up being platooned whenever he gets the call, he's already kind of platooning in Triple-A.

Robertson did end up getting the call in Toronto playing in 3 games before getting sent back down to Triple-A. Then about 10 days later he was shipped to the White Sox for cash. In 17 PA at the big league level he has 1 1B, 1 BB and 11 K. He's started both the games against RHP and sat in the two against LHP.

Ryan Ward, 1B/RF LAD (Triple-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 1% -> 2%
PLIVE+: 122 -> 128

See his write up in the 5/12/25 - Hitters with Interesting Projection Profiles section above.

Bryan Torres, OF STL (Triple-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 0%
PLIVE+: 112 -> 117

This season Torres is continuing to show immaculate plate skills at Triple-A and has 3 HR and 8 SB over his 169 PA this year. The profile is certainly more 4th OF but he should get a chance at the big league level eventually.

Since writing, Torres has had a 151 wRC+ with 16.3% K and 11.2% BB at Triple-A with 2 HR and 11 SB over 98 PA. A call up has to be coming at some point this season despite the near-zero power profile. He's too good a hitter for Triple-A.

Chad Stevens, 3B/SS/OF/1B LAA (Triple-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 1%
PLIVE+: 98 -> 100

He's been playing games in the corner OF and 1B lately and it looks likely the Angels are trying to get him ready to be a utility guy at the next level. Deep league players who get value out of MLB guys with minor eligibility should jump on Stevens.

Stevens did get his shot as he started 5 games for the Angels about a month after writing, but struck out in half of his 14 PA with 2 singles. The return of Yoan Moncada pushed him back down to the minors. Since returning to Triple-A he's played in 5 games and already hit 2 more homers. Given the defensive flexibility there's still a potential utility piece here and I expect him to get another cup of coffee when an injury arises.

Anthony Prato, OF/2B/3B MIN (Triple-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 0%
PLIVE+: 102-> 102

While he's improved is contact this year, there isn't much power and SB don't look like a huge part of his game. It's possible he gets a look this year, but I'm not as interested in Prato as I am others on this list above.

Not much has changed with Prato since looking at him a month and a half ago. He's been a league average hitter in that time and I'm not all that interested in him for fantasy.

Spencer Jones, OF NYY (Triple-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 43% -> 47%
PLIVE+: 140 -> 154

This year he's shown the power and speed that put him on the map as well as the swing and miss that has muted the hype surrounding him. Last year the lowest qualified contact rate in the big leagues was Zack Gelof at 65.4%. Spencer Jones had a 61.6% Contact last season and 58.6% this season.

Jones went on a tear and slashed .344/.425/.672 at Double-A after writing and got a promotion to Triple-A where he's done much of the same with a .362/.426/.776 slash. The contact has improved to 64.2% in Triple-A, still below that benchmark mentioned above. If this is the contact when he's lighting the world on fire, I still have a hard time believing that he'll transition nicely to the big leagues.

Kyler Fedko, OF MIN (Double-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 0%
PLIVE+: 107 -> 111

I know this is an old-for-level special, but if the power is coming along without sacrificing the rest of his game, I'm interested in seeing more. I'm actually a bit surprised that he's still 0% rostered on Fantrax and I'd pounce in leagues with 400+ prospects owned. He should see Triple-A soon, and from there, who knows what'll happen.

Narrator: He would not see Triple-A soon.

OK I was a a little shallow on the league depth on this one. Fedko is still 0% rostered on Fantrax and that's after going on to post a 142 wRC+ after writing him up. I don't know why he's still in Double-A. His line on the season: 335 PA, 17 HR, 23 SB, 14.9% BB, 20% K, .259/.379/.486. This story reminds me a little bit of Blake Dunn in 2023 who had a 156 wRC+ at Double-A over 357 PA as a 24 year old. He regressed significantly over the next year. Either way, Fedko is still free to add if you want to bet on the stat line.

Jorel Ortega, 2B/OF MIN (Double-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 0%
PLIVE+: 108-> 102

Ortega has played all over the diamond and appears to be a utility-type long term. I wouldn't say he's someone we need to run out and grab, but we should at least know the name.

The contact has reverted back to his previous career norms. Nothing really sticks out with Ortega that points us to add in any sort of league.

Jay Thomason, 3B/2B/1B/OF MIN (High-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 0%
PLIVE+: 128 -> 125

PLIVE+ sees Thomason really similarly to Mac Horvath (profiled below) and has 20/20 potential if he can keep the contact rates high enough to play everyday. So if you like Horvath, go pick up the 0% owned Thomason.

While writing him up last time he was promoted to High-A but only got 8 games there with a 97 wRC+ before getting injured. He's currently rehabbing on the Complex.

Nate Baez, 1B/C MIN (Double-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 0%
PLIVE+: 113 -> 116

In 2023 he had a 30.7% K, in 2024 a 28.1% K and so far this season he's struck out just 15.1% of the time through 166 PA. At this point, Baez needs to get moved up to Double-A. The only thing that's been underwhelming is the game power and without it I don't think there's much to get excited over from either a catcher or first base.

Less than a week later Baez was up to Double-A and since then he's continued to hit well over his 71 PA with a 145 wRC+ with 3 HR and the much improved K% sticking. I'm not ready to jump to the wire to grab Baez yet, but consider me intrigued.

Jonah Advincula, OF CLE (Double-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 0%
PLIVE+: 110 -> 118

I agree that he'll end up with a promotion sooner than later given the high contact rates and the ability to play all 3 OF positions.

Three weeks later, Advincula was promoted to Double-A and since then he's continued his great contact rates but hasn't had any punch in the bat. Over 55 PA he's slashing .178/.315/.244 but does have 5 SB. PLIVE+ has him for an 88 wRC+, 8 HR and 37 SB at peak. I'd like to see more out of the bat now that he's facing more advanced pitching, but if that comes I like the speed starter kit in the deepest leagues.

Mac Horvath, 3B/OF/2B TB (High-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 7% -> 8%
PLIVE+: 110-> 119

The heavy flyball profile will never result in a high batting average but PLIVE+ thinks there is 20/20 potential if he ever manages 600 PA. You've got to think a move up to Double-A is coming soon and that'll obviously be a big test.

Horvath's season line sits at 13 HR, 27 SB over 318 PA with a 122 wRC+. He's now spent 181 games at High-A and I'm just not sure what he needs to do to earn a promotion at this point, especially given he can play 5 spots on the field. To me, this says a lot about what the Rays think of him and if you can move on from the name value, I would.

Victor Figueroa, 1B SD (Single-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 14% -> 14%
PLIVE+: 155 -> 148

Figueroa still has over a .425 BA and .500 OBP in his combined 100 Complex and Single-A PA. Maybe he gets exposed at higher levels, but PLIVE+ is in love and has him ranked as the 12th best hitter in the minor leagues.

Since this update Figueroa has continued to hit well while getting a bit more patient at the plate. Over 111 PA he's hit 4 HR with 16.2% BB, 22.8% K and a 132 wRC+. I'd like to see him get a look at High-A by the end of the season but I'm not sure if that'll happen.

Tommy Hawke, CLE (High-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 1% -> 2%
PLIVE+: 114 -> 121

He's absolutely wreaking havoc on the bases with 48 SB over just 203 PA. The approach is extremely passive with just a 30.4% Swing, but when he does swing, he's making contact. I have zero clue why Hawke is still chilling in Single-A but I can't imagine he's there for much longer.

It took another two weeks but Hawke was finally promoted to High-A. Unfortunately he missed 10 days prior to the promotion, got 4 games under his belt at the new level (with 2 SB), and now hasn't played for nearly two weeks (assuming an injury).

Nick Mitchell, MIN (High-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 0%
PLIVE+: 125 -> 122

PLIVE+ kind of likes Mitchell with a 97 wRC+ and 14 HR, 17 SB peak projection but there's a long road ahead before he can get to those numbers in the big leagues. Given the lack of fantasy impact I'm not running to grab Mitchell, but am intrigued by the contact so far.

We had an extremely small sample of just 9 games at Single-A at the time of writing but he continued to make a lot of contact and steal bases before being promoted to High-A after the All-Star break. He has yet to go yard over 207 PA this season so it's really looking like an Xavier Edwards type profile but down a few levels. He's definitely just a name to remember at this point.

6/18/25 - Mining the Monthly Movers

It's been a month since this article so it's hard to have a ton of additional movement. These were standouts that had improved their PLIVE- from the previous month, so it's understandable that many would regress.

Results:
Only 3 of the 10 players moved from 0% rostered to 1% and the one player who was at 1% moved back down to 0%. Granted, the guys that moved were all players I recommended to roster, while many of the others were more watch list types.

Francisco Espinoza, C LAD (Complex)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 1%
PLIVE+: 141-> 134

Definitely a 500+ prospect league add and it wouldn't surprise me at all to see him break into our next fantasy prospect list.

He's only been in 13 games since writing him up, but he only has a 69 wRC+ over that time. However the BB/K numbers still look great and his seasonal 153 wRC+ is still very positive. We have our next prospect list coming out after all the draftees sign, so we'll see if Espinoza can break in, especially with an influx of 60-80+ new names entering the pool.

Yeiferth Castillo, OF CLE (Complex)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 1%
PLIVE+: 140 -> 133

Among those players who are still at the complex he ranks 9th in PLIVE+ between two players who have gotten much more hype in Jhonny Level and Hayden Alvarez. Similar to Espinoza above, he's a deep league pick up but someone who could rise quickly... yeah I'm getting in a bid right after finishing this sentence.

The PLIVE+ drop looks worse than it's actually been due to the volatility that comes with a small sample of PA. Castillo now ranks 11th among complex bats. Since writing he's had a 120 wRC+ with a 9.6% BB, 13.8% K and .744 OPS. I'm not running as fast to get Castillo, but he remains a great Complex league add. He could also end up getting ranked on our next fantasy prospect list.

Cam Clayton, SS MIA (Single-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 0%
PLIVE+: 103 -> 94

PLIVE+ isn't all that sold on him given the age to level, but if Clayton gets bumped up to High-A and keeps hitting, then maybe it'll be time to give adding him a second thought.

He has yet to be promoted to High-A and that's because there's been just 3 XBH in the last month. Still don't have all that much interest.

Jeremiah Jenkins, 1B SF (Single-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 1% -> 0%
PLIVE+: 121 -> 112

The profile isn't all that dissimilar to Victor Figueroa given the frame and history of power against 2nd tier competition. Figueroa just has a year of age on him and more standout performance across the lower-levels this season. In leagues where power is at a premium I'd utilize a churn spot on your roster and hope the improved whiff transitions over to Single-A.

Just 1 HR in his last 19 games with a 90 wRC+, though the BB:K still looks good. I think you're safe to churn the roster spot.

Sam Petersen, OF WSN (High-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 0%
PLIVE+: 121 -> 118

I'm not all that excited to roster Petersen at the moment as he appears to be more of a sum of his parts player without a standout tool.

He's had a .679 OPS in the last month after his hot start at High-A.

Daviel Hurtado, LHP NYM (Single-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 0%
PLIVE-: 86 -> 91

But, if he' continues to role in Single-A the Fantrax ownership will rise quickly. If you have a churn spot for a young pitcher, Hurtado is a good choice.

Hurtado has been fine since writing him up, but has far from lit the world on fire. Over 4 appearances he's gone 3 IP in all of them for 12 IP with 10 K and 3 BB. Across the Complex and Single-A, Hurtado still holds a 1.59 ERA, 2.07 FIP and 2.73 xFIP.

Lucas Elissalt, RHP DET (Single-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 0%

At 6'4" 190 lbs you'd hope the Tigers would be able to unlock some more velo from Elissalt. Given the current fastball it's difficult to buy in right now outside of the deepest leagues.

Since writing up Elissalt he's continued his dominance of the level with 4 scoreless appearances totaling 16.2 IP. He's sitting at a 2.48 ERA over 54 IP on the season and a 0.45 ERA in 40 IP over the last 2 months. I'm a little surprised that Elissalt hasn't gotten a promotion to High-A yet, but he's also just 20 years old.

Dalton Pence, LHP TEX (High-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 0%
PLIVE-: 85 -> 99

While the ultimate landing spot may very will end up the bullpen, it appears that Pence may get the chance to prove himself as a starter. The "average at best control" has been better than that so far with a 6.8% BB, with the caveat he's facing Single-A hitters. Pence is very much someone we need to keep an eye on, because if he starts working past 3 IP appearances with continued success we'll need to jump on him.

Shortly after the release of the article Pence was promoted to High-A. Since then he's thrown in 5 games with 11 IP, 11 K, 5 BB and 2 ER. The increase in PLIVE- (not a good thing) is due to the drop in K-BB% in combo with the low IP/G.

McCade Brown, RHP COL (Double-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 1%
PLIVE-: 89 -> 88

I almost decided not to cover McCade Brown because he's a Colorado starter, but the performance has been undeniable over the last month+ and he's been promoted to Double-A. Over his last 6 starts he's got 44 K to 8 BB over 26.2 IP. Historically the walks have been an issue but over this stretch he's had an improved 7.6% BB. The 6'6" righty has a cross body delivery with a mid-90s heater and multiple breaking balls. In points leagues I'd be jumping here as he could ascend to Colorado quickly.

Brown has had 4 starts since the writeup and 3 have been great, but one was a 2.2 IP, 5 ER, 6 BB clunker. I'm actually more impressed that he only had 2 BB in total across the other 3 starts. My opinion hasn't changed here.

Jacob Kroeger, LHP ATL (High-A)

Fantrax Rostered: 0% -> 0%
PLIVE-: 104 -> 117

It's hard not to root for Kroeger, but we definitely need to see more before jumping to add him in dynasty leagues.

After his 11 K performance in his first game at High-A, he went on to get 11 K over his next 4 starts. Combine that with 11 BB as well and PLIVE- isn't going to be friendly to you. Kroeger was the longest of long shots when writing him up as a 25 year old in High-A, but I'll still keep rooting for him.
