Round Rock yesterday: Kelenic in CF, Cauley with a 3B day.
At Hub City: Another double and single for Malcolm Moore, and 1 for 1 throwing would-be basestealers out.
Hickory: Yolfran Castillo singles, walks twice, steals his 29th base in 35 tries. OPS'ing .838.
That's extraordinarily unfair. The one thing we can possibly question is how hard he was running from second to third on the play on which he scored with a collision. That's it, full stop.
Would rule out Zavala for now because he doesn't play CF. Cauley more versatile (infield) and a better runner, while Kelenic has the obvious Nicky Lopez-like edge in experience. I would guess Cauley but Kelenic wouldn't shock me.
In this week's Hops: It's trade spitball season, some shocking Leiter splits, perhaps a reveal on the Zeke Duran/Josh Smith situation, reason to believe it might be Cam Cauley time, a bunch of interesting Class A developments, COFFEY, and more.

Shout out to my real ones. @jalenbrunson1@PJPatton52@heathaaamau They said we weren’t a good fit for their culture. Said we weren’t good enough in our roles. Peter Patton, Heather Mau, Jalen. We did and will continue to do the work.
