Welcome to the July 4th installment of The Daily Farm Report! We rake the news for each organization’s top prospects and give you a digest with some commentary for you greedy prospectors to enjoy. Here’s some recent news and highlights:

STATS and RANKINGS
Angels #1 by MLB Pipeline
Baseball Farm Roto #34 Overall
.@66ersBaseball fall to Rancho 7-3. Sixers match season-worst six-game skid. Connor Justus homers (1) going 2-for-3 with a BB. Jo Adell's hit streak extends to 13 with 9th inning double while Jordan Zimmerman's ends at 11. #Angels Jefry Marte on injury rehab goes 0-for-3, 2Ks, BB
— Steve Wendt (@steve_wendt) July 3, 2018
Adell is obviously on fire at the moment, but he really has been all season long. He’s a star in the making, and is now slashing .323/.352/.613 at A-Advanced ball as a 19 year-old. The power is very real (16 HR, 18 2B in both levels this season, .290 ISO at A-Advanced), and the speed is too (3 3B, 11-for-13 in SB attempts). Plate discipline is the area of his game that he needs to improve on (3.7% BB-rate, 26.5% K-rate at A-Advanced), but there is plenty of time.

STATS and RANKINGS
Yankees #7 by MLB Pipeline
Domingo Acevedo's 2018 started off good before an injury kept him out for over a month. He has returned & pitched solid for the Trenton Thunder.
He is 2-1 with a 2.84 ERA in 9 G/6 GS.
38 IP, 32 H, 12 ER (14 R), 12 BB, 28 K & a 1.16 WHIP with opponents only hitting .227.

Great numbers for Acevedo since he’s come back from injury earlier this season. The Yankees are loaded with pitching prospects at the moment, but don’t forget about Acevedo, who is one of the top arms in the system.

STATS and RANKINGS
Braves #20 by MLB Pipeline
.@TheRomeBraves announce several roster moves; OF Greyson Jenista received from Danville. OF Shean Michel received from A+ Florida πΈπ₯
Rome OF Izzy Wilson transferred to A+ Florida π₯πΈ. OF Justin Smith transferred to Danville.
Rome roster is at 25 players.
— Kevin M. Karel (@KevinKarel21) July 2, 2018
So Izzy gets his first look at the Florida State League. He’s a left-hand hitting toolsy OF prospect out of St. Maarten. His contact is a bit of a project at this point (30% K-rate in 68 games at A-Full Season ball, .229 AVG), and it will get challenged more in the FSL where the pitching is much better. But he’s got some power/speed potential (6 HR/11 SB so far this year) that merits watching.

STATS and RANKINGS
RedSox #1 by MLB Pipeline
Michael Chavis spent his PED suspension learning all about PEDs.
βI learned a hell of a lot more about that metabolite than I ever intended to,β the Red Sox prospect said after returning from an 80-game ban. https://t.co/wX1hEfMtXO pic.twitter.com/KaySwKvnSo

Good to hear that the kid learned a thing or two from his 80-game suspension. The big question now is whether 2017’s 31 HR outburst was a PED-fueled mirage. His 2017 ISO took a big leap over his previous career high of .182.

STATS and RANKINGS
Cubs #8 by MLB Pipeline
D.J. Wilson, before his late April injury, drew 11 walks in 12G/53PA. While I wanted it to be a step forward in his game to report, the sample was too small. Since returning from injury, Wilson has 10 walks in 13G/48PA. Walk rate has held above 20%. Big development.
— Cubs Prospects (@cubprospects) July 3, 2018
It’s nice to see a young prospect implement a change in plate approach and be successful doing it. Wilson’s BB-rate improvement is encouraging, and it has led him to a .370 OBP in 2018. Unfortunately, he’s only slugging .316…

STATS and RANKINGS
Unranked by MLB Pipeline
76 Dean Kremer (Dodgers A-Adv P 22 yr) | 3.30 era | 1.18 whip | 114 so | 4.38 kbb | 0.72 hr9 |
Per @Think_BlueLA, RHP Dean Kremer is getting promoted to Tulsa from Rancho. The 22 year old has a 3.30 ERA and a 114/26 K/BB ratio in 79 innings this year.
— Future Dodgers (@FutureDodgers) July 1, 2018
This dude has been a strikeout machine so far this season, leading all MiLB pitchers heading into July with 114 strikeouts in 79 innings. AA ball will be a nice test to see if his strikeout stuff holds up against stiffer competition. Interesting to note, Kremer has dual US-Israeli citizenship and played for Team Israel at the last WBC.

STATS and RANKINGS
Unranked by MLB Pipeline
Baseball Farm Roto #94 Overall
ROSTER MOVE:
-OF Alexander Palma placed on the 60-Day DL
-INF Daniel Barrios added from Rookie-level Pulaski.#Tarpons #Yankees
— Tampa Tarpons (@TampaTarpons) July 3, 2018
Tough break for a kid who has been enjoying a breakout 2018 campaign. Palma is the #94 overall hitter this season using our roto scoring method. He’s posted a .369 wOBA and 131 wRC+ while also contributing some pop (7 HR, 8 2B) and speed (1 3B, 3 SB). He left the July 2 game via ambulance after colliding with his teammate while trying to track down a shallow fly ball.

STATS and RANKINGS
Mariners #3 by MLB Pipeline
The M's have lost their top pitching prospect, Sam Carlson to an elbow injury. Carlson had surgery for a torn UCL on Monday. | via @RyanDivish https://t.co/SdLSBH3yr9
— Seattle Times Sports (@SeaTimesSports) July 4, 2018
This is really rough. The kid has dealt with elbow issues since he was drafted by the Mariners in the 2nd round in 2017. Now he’s likely out for the majority of the 2019 season as well. It’s going to be a long road back to prospect relevance for this kid, but he’s still only 19.

STATS and RANKINGS
Marlins #19 by MLB Pipeline
#Marlins No. 19 prospect per MLB Pipeline Jordan Yamamoto promoted from Single A to Double A after stellar pitching month in Jupiter. https://t.co/QgCOfEDYqN
— Andre Fernandez (@AndreMHsports) July 4, 2018
Can’t argue with this move. Yamamoto posted a 1.92 FIP (seriously) in 7 A-Advanced starts this year. AA will be more of a challenge for him, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see him continue to be dominant for Jacksonville. He pairs a solid fastball with a plus curveball (flashing double-plus at times) and a changeup which is an improving pitch for him. He’s the forgotten piece that came over to Miami in the Christian Yelich trade. He should be owned in dynasty leagues with prospect penetration over 200 or so.
