Great to see some new names! Jay Austin is the only one I recognize.
Weston’s put up some good numbers, but he’s definitely old for his level (25 in high-A). Looks like we signed him out of the independent leagues last year.
Spencer Hylander is going on my Awesome Minor League Names List.
Can there be only one?
on that list?

Actually, I’ve almost got enough names to put together a tournament-style list…(Jared Icenogle is one of my favorite player names, and as for coaches, no one can top Stubby Clapp).
I might make a “favorite minor league name” post, but if I don’t post it, it’s nothing to lose your head about.
Patrick Urckfitz
Jack Shuck
TJ Steele
Robert Bono
Dydalewicz
Your friendly neighborhood Dream Shake mod.
All on the list, my friend. All on the list.
Also:
Andy Van Hekken
Wladimir Sutil
Eli Iorg
Jordan “Funky” Comadena (If that’s not his actual baseball nickname, it should be, and that should be his song)
I knew I wasn't the first to pick up on that
I just didn’t know who to give the credit to.
It is impossible for me to look at the box scores now without getting that stuck in my head for hours.
