I don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere else on the board but Anderson Espinoza has been promoted to Greenville, an amazing accomplishment for a 17 year old.  I'm guessing that he's one of the youngest players to ever play in middle A

Devers now has 9 hits in his last five games - heating back up after a slow August.
 
Also, god bless Benintendi.  He now has only two fewer XBHs (20) than strikeouts (22).  His .959 OPS would be the best mark among all low-A hitters this season (SAL and MWL).

As a major college player in low-A, that's what he should look like. But that he's doing it is incredibly promising. I bet he's at least in Portland by next Memorial Day.
