Oneil Cruz and Will Craig both made Baseball America’s hot sheet this week, coming in at 5th and 7th, respectively. BA notes that Cruz will probably always fan a lot but has made great strides with his contact issues. They also see him as a corner outfielder long-term and mention his “(at least) 6-foot-6 frame,” a nod to rumors that he’s really even taller. Craig is pretty simple: He hit 522/607/1261 for the week.
The GCL Pirates started play today. Hopefully, they’ll add some late-round, above-slot prep draftees, along with their two first-day prep pitchers, both of whom are expected to sign.
