Both Dellin Betances (“With a fastball that is all the way back (94-98 mph) and control that we’ve never seen before, the 22-year-old has whiffed 68 over 57 innings while allowing just 31 hits and walking 15. Only an ugly track record when it comes to staying healthy prevents him from being labeled with an elite tag.”) and Brandon Laird (“… now considered one of the better offensive prospects in the system.) got some love in Kevin Goldstein’s Minor League Update today (subs. req’d).
