Tampa Bay Rays (AA)
Second Baseman
Kyle is big second baseman, he is borderline to big for the position, he features great contact and decent power for the position, his defense is above average and has a strong arm, he currently plays for the Tampa Bay Rays double A affiliate.

Pittsburgh Pirates (A)
Short Stop
Kurtis is an extremely good hitter with amazing contact and above average power for the shortstop position, however Kurtis strikes out a lot and his defense is lackluster.

Strengths

- Above average power for the position
Weaknesses
- Lack of discipline at the plate
- Slow for a short stop
- Defensive liability</div>

Angel Batista
Free Agent
First Baseman
Angel is a heavy set first baseman from Cuba, he can hit righties with ease however he is known to struggle to hit lefty pitching quite a bit, his bulky size hinders his defensive ability a lot and has very little range, he might be better suited to play in the American League where he can be a designated hitter.

Short Stop
James is a tall and skinny short stop, his bat should assure him a highway to making the majors, however his lack of speed could hinder his path, his lacking range could also hinder him in the long run.

Will Secord
New York Mets (A)
Third Baseman
Will is very much the definition of an all or nothing hitter, his contact is below average at best, however he can hit the ball very hard, his lack of discipline at the plate won’t help him either, however his premium defense will definitely allow him to climb the ladder to the majors, Will is currently in the Mets single A affiliate and is blocked by superstar third baseman David Wright.

Justin Rilley
Los Angeles Dodgers (A)
Short Stop
Tall and flexible Justin offers a unique set of qualities to the short stop position, his reach alone can compensate for his lacking range and his above average power can offer a spark on offense from a position that you usually do not expect power from, Justin is currently in the Dodgers single A affiliate and he is blocked by Hanley Ramirez.
Strengths
- Plus power for the short stop position
- Strong arm
- Very good speed
- Good base stealer

Another question, since I'm in the Braves system: Am I in A (Rome Braves), or Advanced A (Lynchburg Hillcats)?

I think it is Lynchburg, i am not 100% on that though because i don't know which of the two teams is the one that they put in the game.
