I was at the Canadians game yesterday and have concentrated this MLU on those players who stood out.

Today we look at the depth in the system at the shortstop and catcher positions. On the field Bo Bichette and Vlad Guerrero Jr. went back to back with home runs. Bichette was on the way to a 3-5 night and a batting average over .400. Mike Bolsinger pitched eight shutout innings to give Buffalo a much needed win. Josh Winckowski, a 15th round pick last season, struck out nine hitters in 4.2 innings. It was a three true outcomes start, nine K's, two walks and two solo home runs. Hagen Danner played his first game in the GCL and drove in two runs with a single.
It was a .500 night on the farm Tuesday with the affiliates splitting their eight games.
The Lansing Lugnuts had the only win on the farm Monday night. Dunedin had the night off.
Vancouver was the place to be on Sunday. Danny Jimenez was lights out on the mound while some 2017 draft picks had good days at the plate. The new kids were hitting in Bluefield too. Many of the new kids on the block are off to hot starts.
Couple debuts and early concerns we may have a Pedro Serrano on our hands.

Lourdes Gurriel kept all the spectators awake on Wednesday. He had two hits and three errors, never a dull moment. The D Jays lost, in part due to five unearned runs. The Bisons losing streak continued. New Hampshire lost a close one. Vancouver won and received reinforcements from the recent draft. Lansing had the day off.
The affiliates won four of five on Tuesday night including a victorious home opener for the Vancouver Canadians. Lansing had the night off, except for a trio of them at the Midwest League All-Star Game.
The Vancouver Canadians won the rubber match of their five-game set in Eugene. The other affiliates went 0-3. New Hampshire and Lansing had the night off.
It was a tough weekend on the farm. Buffalo went 0-4, New Hampshire 1-3, Lansing 0-2 and Vancouver 1-2. Dunedin were off.
The Jays have one of the better hitting prospects in the minors in Bo Bichette. He is now hitting an even .400 on the season.

Ryan Borucki picked up ten strikeouts, didn't allow an earned run, but took the loss. TJ House had a good start, supported by Rowdy Tellez, and Buffalo won. Both Borucki and House were bouncing back from bad starts. New Hampshire and Lansing were both rained out. Vancouver start their season on Thursday.
