Today: PPD

Minors MVP of the Day – Michael Katz has now hit a homerun in four straight games for Savannah. Way back when initial rosters were announced, I thought Katz could join up with Savannah in the first half and add power to the 1B/LF/DH spot. It took until the second half, and he's not playing LF, but he's done just that, with 7 XBH over his last 5 games (3 2B, 4 HR).

Minors Cy of the Day – I've been saying this for over a month, but Michael Fulmer is the best pitching prospect left in the farm system. #PROMOAT
