Full Lineup today but since a bunch of them are already concluded I will not be typing out the games.

Looks like Baron was 3/4 on TTO plate appearances and Jamari went 4/4. At least they were mostly the good kind
There were a good handful of guys who performed way better this year than I expected (Brito, Vierling, Ortiz, Randolph (for a bit)). On the negative side, I would absolutely say that my biggest disappointment has been Casey Martin.
Has there been any recent update to Randolph's status? I haven't seen anything mentioned since June 23 or so.
Ok, prospect gurus - who in the heck is Adam Leverett? I see he is 22 y.o., was a 15th Rd pick in 2019 out of a GA Juco and they gave him $150k to sign. I also see he has blown through three levels this year. But I can’t find anything on what he throws, how good his stuff is or whether or not he’s a real prospect or an 89 mph control artist who’s unlikely to ever contribute.
What say you?
He played a rehab game for FCL yesterday. First appearance in months.
Guy to watch is Gamboa, similar to Brito, put on muscle over the two year "break period," now has some power, walks a lot, needs to make more contact.
Can't find anything on him, but given he was listed at 6'3 190 two years ago when drafted, seems like a bet on his frame, build him up, tweak his mechanics and add 3-4 MPH to his FB. But it is strange that no one has anything on him.

Looks like at least fastball and changeup. The change looks pretty good.
The quartet of Martin, Rojas, and the Garcia’s were my biggest hope for a breakout prospect- after a start that looked like potential springboards it’s really disappointing to see none of them take a step forward. That really feels like a development issue in Clearwater that you can’t get any improvement from your top position prospects.
