With the a pair of wins today the two DSL squads' pushed their combined record for the season just onto the right side of the ledger at 55 W - 53 L. Not too shabby for what has been somewhat of a blah summer on the island, but we all knew the insanity of last summer was likely a singularity.
None of Kenny Fenelon (88 wRC+), Brailyn Antunez (82 wRC+), or Cristopher Acosta (78 wRC+) has really popped. Will be interesting to see if they come over to the ACL next year on pedigree alone or if some of them maybe repeat the DSL.
As far as hitters that did put up some numbers would have to imagine that eighteen year olds Juan Martinez (158 wRC+), Jonathan Rangel (148 wRC+), Moises Polanco (130 wRC+), and Angel Gonzalez (128 wRC+) are in pretty good shape for the ACL with Yoneiker Lugo (110 wRC+) and Carlos Done (105 wRC+) probably doing enough to join them.
On the pitching side seventeen year olds Diustin Mayorquin (47 IP of 46 ERA- | 50 FIP-) and Joan Pena (44 IP of 65 ERA- | 77 FIP-) appear to be the likely headliners, and did we just get a Brewers PD highlight reel for Gustavo Garcia (44 IP of 72 ERA- | 85 FIP-) recently too?
A few older arms with decent results in smaller samples might be setting themselves up for stateside relief roles next year? Gabriel Colmenarez (21 IP of 43 ERA- | 56 FIP-) has already made his way over, perhaps Derlin Garcia (19 IP of 37 ERA- | 59 FIP-), Carlos Canales (23 IP of 47 ERA- | 74 FIP-), or Jhosep Ospino (27 IP of 55 ERA- | 78 FIP-) are next.
