Might be DRLP, I don't understand those Common Yeti posts, but Soler is coming up.

I can't wait until E. Jax comes off the DL and joins the bullpen so he can be inserted in any game in which they have a late lead. No reason to trick off a perfectly good top 10 draft position now.

This is actually crazy good news.

He was the 11th youngest guy in rookie ball, and now he's been promoted to low-A where he's the youngest guy in the Northwest league by a half a year. 
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

17 years old, and he's got a 29/33 BB/K ratio. YEs, please.

Is 29/33 good?

Yes, very. 

K% 18%
BB% 13.7%

Pretty great at any age. For 17? Outstanding.

I did a little research on my own and found out to my astonishment that Gleyber Torres is not a pitcher. So those K/BB rates check out.

Great thread. Would definitely read again!
