Down on the Farm: Aeverson Arteaga

 Someone mentioned him in a comment a few days ago, but we need to sit up and take notice of what this kid is doing.  First of all, remember he was a $1.2 M international bonus baby in July 2, 2019 out of Venezuela.  Then COVID wiped out the 2020 DSL.  He's now 18 yo and getting his first pro game experience with Giants Orange in the Arizona Complex League.  

I have to say my impression has been that he's defense-first SS who might hit a little someday.  Well, he's hotter than the heatwave down in Arizona.  He had a stupendous game tonight going 3 for 5 with a double and 2 HR's giving him 6 HR's in just 55 AB.  He's hitting .400.

Wow!  Talk about helium!

    On a different point, very concerned we have not heard a word on Kuip
    Very disconcerning.
