This is a new feature with the plan to alternate weeks between pitching to give an overview of how the hitters on the farm are doing year-to-date. It's a combination of true prospects, AAA replacement players, and fringe players who are performing well. For the first week we will keep true to prospects and replacement players only due to sample size issues, but you'll note the bubble players at the bottom who are at risk of falling off or being added to the Watch. Let me know how you would like this list to be sorted in the future but for this week we will use OPS. Ages will remain constant through the season based on today's date.
