Derrik, Hunter and Jake are back with another week of Red Sox MiLB talk and we start off in Portland where Blaze Jordan had a blazing hot week. The power was there, he doesn’t strike out, and he’s been playing great defense. What’s the ceiling for the big name in the Sox system? They also go over the good starts in the week for Wikelman Gonzalez, Angel Bastardo and Hunter Dobbins. The guys briefly touched on Greenville, where Tyler Miller went 9-for-18 on the week, and Luis Perales came back with a strong start after missing a few weeks. In Salem, the guys gush about finally getting to see Nazzan Zanetello back in games and his athleticism showed up right away with his first HR being an inside-the-parker. They also talk about a great pitching week for several Salem starters including Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz, Jedixson Paez, and Matt Duffy. The guys give a short preview of the FCL and DSL seasons, which start on May 4, much earlier than previous years. Finally, they finish with Guess the Prospect.

The MiLB crew of Derrik, Hunter and Jake is back and they kick off with an in-depth discussion about Niko Kavadas, who had a big week for the WooSox and could possibly be seeing a promotion to the majors with Triston Casas’ possible long-term injury. What could we expect from the man who can drop Niko Nukes? Next, Derrik gives his report from his visit to Polar Park and his discussion with Vaughn Grissom and other observations. In Portland, the guys go over the redemption tour for Matthew Lugo, his rocky road as a prospect, and the strong numbers he’s put up to date. They also bring up Hunter Dobbins’ unique start, Marcelo Mayer’s walkoff, the possibility of a promotion for Mickey Gasper, and a strange week for Wikelman Gonzalez. There wasn’t as much to talk about in Greenville this week, but Juan Chacon is healthy and showing what he can do in his all-around game. In Salem, the Garcia brothers are still doing their thing, Natanael Yuten had a big week, and discussion about Jojo Ingrassia’s start and the continued velo bump for Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz led to a chat about the Red Sox difficulties developing homegrown pitching for decades.
