Hope he takes the Benintendi route to the bigs.

Be pretty impressive for a HS kid to move through system that quickly.

Yes, it's not going to happen time-wise, I just hope they hit on this kid.

Yes, home-grown power bats would be welcome. Unless he's a monster, his ETA is 2021 at the absolute earliest -- and likely after that. He just graduated from high school.

I wonder if the addition of Casas makes Josh Ockimey some semblance of a trade chip. He’s having a pretty nice year in Portland and would need to be added to the 40-man after 2018.

I'd like to see if the new guy can hit a few professional curveballs first.

I'd also like to see if we're still going to have a DH after 2019.
