Minor League Ball Gameday, July 16

Good afternoon prospect watchers. Quick hit with the highlights today, as I'm neck-deep in kid care right now and won't be free again until this evening. In the work queue are prospect retros by request for Eric Stults and Marco Scutaro. Otherwise my main project remains the prospect list update.

I may have to just shut down other projects to concentrate on it for a couple of days. The smaller pieces keep distracting me.

***Yesterday's Minor League Ball Gameday thread has all the highlights from yesterday's action down on the farm.

***Craig Goldstein looks at Tampa Bay Rays outfield prospect Andrew Toles.

***Matt Sullivan at Over The Monster looks at Boston Red Sox position player prospects including Jackie Bradley, Garin Cecchini, Blake Swihart, and Xander Bogaerts using "word clouds," which is an interesting concept. I think I'm going to explore that myself once I get the prospect list finished.

***Rob Neyer loves the young talent in the National League. Will it shift the balance of power between the circuits?
