Hey J, haven't been around here much lately.
Love that Chance Adams makes the notables list now. What do you think of his potential for the MLB staff?

Improved his stock this year, IMO. Probable #5 , from what I've read.

Dum, dum, dummmmmm.....

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal
Bellinger, Verdugo out of #Dodgers’ lineup at AA. Source says it is “random” and not related to trades.

Why do I have a hard time believing this "random" explanation?

Dodgers are still in on Lucroy. Let's hope those 2 are not involved, I want to see them mash in that LA lineup in a couple years.

They're also reportedly on TB's Archer and Moore.
