It’s exciting to see Dylan Cumming and Trent Harris thriving as undrafted free agents. What have they done to raise their profiles so much in a short period of time? Is the Giants’ “pitching lab” a driving force here? What do you know about how the organization targeted and signed them?
I really enjoyed your offseason piece that ranked/ tiered the org’s age-25-and-under players, including big leaguers. Would you do a hitters-only update, a top-10 or so? I’m curious where Heliot Ramos sits, whether Hunter Bishop makes the list and more.
aside from AAA to majors, it seems like we're getting the first honest to goodness promotions of the season (exciting!). aside from an individual's performance, is there a particular philosophy that the organization has when it comes to the timing of these call ups?
Changing subjects on the prospects for a minute Roger, but has there been any talk or mention of perhaps having the PCL adding the IL to their regular season schedule? I think it would be so cool to see other teams and their prospects as opposed to seeing the likes of the same teams. I know the leagues wanted to cut down on travel, but it would be nice to see how the RiverCats for example, do against the IL.
I see Dylan Cummings made his AA debut piggybacking Carson Ragsdale. Do you see this as his role in Richmond (akin to Eric Silva) or do you think they'll start him to get back to a more traditional 6-man rotation to prevent anyone becoming gassed from heavy outings? Or is it a precursor to Hayden Birdsong moving up?
can you provide an update on the health of Reiner Arias? I don’t think he’s played this year unless I’ve missed some thing. Will he be back in the DSL this year?

How did seeing Eldridge, Martin and Arias live in Scottsdale at spring training ealrier this year change your view of them?
