This article references Atlanta Braves, Chance Sisco, D.J. Peterson, Daniel Winkler, James Paxton, Nick Travieso, San Diego Padres, Tyler O"Neill and more! Given the performance of the teams supplying the Javelinas, one would think that there would be great talent on this team. Alas, that is not to be the case. While the Atlanta Braves have provided quality to this club, they are just about the only ones. The Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres foolishly thought that they could contend. Instead, they are mediocre from top to bottom within their respective organizations. Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Reds and the Baltimore Orioles are close but [...]Keep on reading: Future Tense: The Arizona Fall League, Part IV: Peoria Javelinas

This article references A, Adam Conley, C, James Paxton, Justin Nicolino, OF, SP, SS, Taijuan Walker, TE and more! Did you see that comeback by Houston on Sunday? How incredible was that?! Down to their last out and they found a way to bounce back and score five runs to win the game. They may not have the best rotation of all the teams that are likely postseason bound, but I feel like they have a chance to be what the Royals were last year: a young team that sneaks into the postseason and makes an improbable run to the World Series.
