Cooney has two straight starts of 8 IP. Last night was a gem: 8 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 8 K.

D-backs prospect Andrew Velazquez set the minor league record by reaching base in his 72nd consecutive game. The previous record was 71, and was a tie between Kevin Millar and Kevin Youkilis.

Won't know much until he moves up a level, but he's done enough to gain attention. He isn't mashing, he's hitting like a top-5 pick does in rookie leagues.

bear with me here but i just read this on twitter:

Wick hit his 14th homer tonight. He is 2 HR away from tying randall grichuk for 2nd in the organization and has played 60 less games than grichuk

He's 21 in the NY Penn League. That's what he's supposed to do.

From a BP Chat:
Tommy (Chicago): Have you seen Alex Reyes yet and what are your thoughts on him? (sorry if I missed a report on him). I saw him once and even though he walked 7 he looked absolutely insane out there, 95-96 with really nice CB and an unfair CH

Jordan Gorosh: I have seen Reyes. The mechanical profile is really rough. A lot of spine tilt, no consistency or rhythm, struggles to repeat. But man, the stuff is downright filthy. Was 93-96 T 97 in my viewing, and the CB flashed no-nonsense 6+ (even though it'll probably end up around a 6). CH is starting to come along, and he's developing feel.

I really liked the arm, but it's going to be a slow burn. Going to need to refine the mechanical profile, and probably needs to lose 10-15 pounds. Sir (who knighted him) Mix a lot would be jealous of what he's got going on back there.

He's in a great org for a project, and the Cardinals may make an impact starter out of him.
