It's funny this team is doing so well now and yet Vladdy is putzing along not doing much, Santander is a team worst -0.9 fWAR and they only have 3/5ths of a rotation. If Scherzer and/or Manoah come back through the summer and provide decent starting pitching this team might really start to roll. Maybe Vlad and Santander heat up like they did in the 2nd half last year as well.
Meanwhile, I don't think many here do much prospect watching but there are a ton of positive things happening down there as well. AA has one heck of a rotation going right now, and there are a couple arms at A+ that probably need promotion too, but AA is already stacked. Some of this might bleed onto the MLB roster by seasons end.
Plus a lot of bats are making noise down there too. A couple guys recently got bumped to AAA after putting up massive numbers at AA and they haven't slowed down at all at the higher level so far.
