Definitely San Jose, and it would have to be Agosta’s first pass through. Since 2014 was already guessed I’ll guess 2015. I think Agosta was drafted in 2012, so 2014 or 2015.

It is in fact 2014. Williamson is in the DH spot because they were trying to protect his elbow -- it was the year they held him back in San Jose to DH but after less than a month of trying to heal the ligament he was forced to undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the rest of the year

I should have checked in on this post sooner! Brian Ragira... Chuckie Jones... GNAC star Blake Miller. That San Jose lineup takes me back to a time when my blog was really humming. It's funny how we all start our journey in this prospecting world with the flawed belief that we'll see all these guys in the big leagues one day.

BTW, meeting Conner Menez at the airport (on his way to AAA All-Star game), then coincidentally attending his MLB debut, were the highlights of my summer. His last few outings were brutal, but seeing him strike out the heart of the Mets' order that day in SF made me believe he's got a future in MLB.

Feels very 2014 San Jose

The key to identifying this lineup time/place is at the DH spot. There's a specific reason Mac was DH there
