    If they played soccer, during free kicks they could form a WanderWall. At family reunions, everyone has a Wanderful time.

    Adding a few other names:

    Gavin Lux - LAD SS, 2016 1st rounder (20), tore up A+ and has done the same at AA. Were questions about his bat/power coming into the year but has answered those.
    Nolan Gorman - 2018 STL first rounder out of HS. Monster power. He went straight to the Appy league and tore it up, promoted to A ball already and holding his own. Hitting for power there but K's have understandably spiked.
    Royce Lewis - 2017 1st overall pick. I think there were some questions about just how good he would be coming into this year. He has been great all year and now looks like a multi-tool tool star.
    Jesus Luzardo - acquired by A's in the Doolittle trade last year. Has climbed from A+ to AAA and dominated every level at 20 years old.
    "Today was the byproduct of us thinking we can come back from anything." - Joey Votto after blowing a 10-1 lead and holding on for the 12-11 win on 8/25/2010.

    Luzardo frustrates me a bit because he was there at the start of the 3rd round in 2016. He was either just coming off or going to need TJ surgery, which scared some teams (including the Reds) off. They took Nick Hansen instead.

    Thanks for sharing that tidbit and ruining my day. It would be worse if you didn't have such nice hair.

    Kopech who I saw a few weeks before his call up to Chicago diagnosed with a torn UCL...awful news and it shows how fragile pitching prospects can be.
    If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
