Boon Doggle finished another year playing college ball where he continued to rake .313/.385/.631 at Reno Nevada University. He was then selected round 1, pick 1 in the draft by the Atlanta Braves. Seems that extra year in college paid off.

He got a $5.1 million dollar signing bonus and started off playing Rookie ball in the Golf Coast League where he had an OPS of .753 and 22 SB, enough to get him moved up to the Appalachian League Danville Braves where he has been playing 2B for only 4 games.

He did win a Glove Wizard Award in the GCL, so far he has a 1.000 Fielding percentage across both leagues.

Check under All Transactions, at least that's how I found Leftball. I can't find your guy though and he isn't listed on the goon list so no idea. Still in college maybe?

Also holy crap the scouts love Larry. He hasn't been dominant in the minors but 76 Ks to 10 BBs is pretty damned good.

Get Money has lived up to his name so far, signing with the Red Sox for a staggering $3M in the first round. Scouts seems to believe that he'll eventually develop some power to all the balls he makes contact with, which is the subject of much arguing on baseball forums throughout New England. Still trying to find his footing in A+, he's suffered a setback, breaking one of his fingers sliding into first. But Money's knows that's only a minor setback from his destiny of being barely above replacement level, hitting the emptiest .270-.300 you've ever seen, riding benches around the nation, committing more errors than you would expect, and making fanbases wonder how teams keep paying him.

Screw Sabermetrics, Jack "Little Cowboy" Worthy is third in the AZL in RBIs. Still needs to calm down and get those strikeouts under control.

The "Little Cowboy" moniker comes from the fact that Jack shows up to the ballpark everyday wearing a cowboy hat, boots, belt with six-shooters, and nothing else.

Bobson Dugnutt spent the year in the Appalachian league, still not even quite making it to short season A yet. His problem seems to be that he's an extreme groundball pitcher with solid peripherals, which presumably doesn't translate well when you have minor league defense behind you as evidenced by a 1.50 WHIP despite only 2.12 BB/9. His changeup hasn't even reached a fraction of its true potential yet though, so stay tuned.

Bike "Terrorist" Snout somehow ends up being a dude that can sorta play anywhere but absolutely destroys the ball. Like the highest Rookie League home run total from 2017 IRL is 10. Mr. Snout hit 27. The highest IRL OPS is three hundred points lower than Terrorist. For a $1.2 million signing bonus, he'll be a steal if he keeps up. He's probably going to end up at 1B for his career, which is a shame because his arm is a goddamn cannon, but we'll see.

Godspeed, Bike Snout.

It can be kind of wonky about updating pages - if you get a broken link try refreshing.

Right now I'm not doing any images (each upload is around 37,000 individual pages by itself) but I might later once I get the process more streamlined.

Tempus Liksnart apparently left low A ball with a bang. Not only did he get selected for the South Atlantic League All-Star game, he walked away with MVP honors in the game as well. He then got promoted to high A ball where he's been largely the same player. The most interesting note in this transition is he made 6 (!) errors in the outfield in low A but only 2 in high A with more putouts. He seems to actually be putting the defensive side of things together nicely. I assume he's gotten the nickname "Little Bull" because he just runs full speed into every wall, causing him to miss plays (CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP}.

If he starts putting more things together, there is almost no limit to what he can manage. Hopefully he doesn't let it go to his head that he's ranked so high and continue to grow.
