Ronald Acuna promoted to AA yesterday. I don't really get this. He's 19 all season, and his K-rate went from 16% to 32% after his A+ promotion. He still has a 132 wRC+, but this seems like a weirdly aggressive decision.

The Braves have been ultra aggressive with their prospects. Soroka and Allard are working out though. Acuna, Albies, Soroka, Allard are all 20 or under and in the upper levels of the minors, and Swanson was clearly promoted too soon.

They also had Patrick Weigel skip A+ entirely.

... and they just promoted him to AAA. Skips A+ entirely and only gets 10 AA starts. Must be a dude.

They keep skipping prospects over the Florida State League which is weird. I could understand if they had a Cal League team with a run environment through the roof, but the FSL?

And they just got a new FSL team! The Fire Frogs!

Probably one of my favourite team names. Up there with the Savannah Bananas, Daytona Tortugas, and Beloit Snappers.

I think I've heard that sometimes hitting prospects get skipped past FSL because it's an extreme pitcher's league and destroys their confidence. Or some s*** like that.

BTS can I get a Broxton price check, please? You're welcome.

 

I'm holding. The numbers are back to what I hoped they'd be.

Yeah that .408 BABIP to go along with a near 40% strikeout rate and a reduced walk rate are definitely the signs you're looking for that a player is back.

He's always going to strikeout. The question is whether he hits the ball hard enough when he does make contact to contribute 15+ homers and 40 steals with a playable slash. So far in his career that's been the case.

What's going on with the Cubs 3B situation anyways? Are they planning to make Kris Bryant a full time outfielder?

No, Bryant's played all but 2 games at 3rd. Candelario was the 26th man because of the double header, I believe.

They're saying Bryant might fill in at RF some while Heyward is injured.

Sure, I knew that actually but they used La Stella at 3B in the other game of the double header which I probably should have mentionned as part of the reason why I was asking the question.

O.K. That explains it. Works for me as I'm trying to squeeze out some La Stella starts in LOD.

That k rate is actually normalizing, and Broxton will run high BABIPs because he has elite exit velo and wheels. He can go 20/40 with counting stats and a .340+ OBP. He's a very interesting CF asset in our format. Nobody is saying he's elite.

I see, must be the injury to Heyward as TCA said, plus the double header... :P

 

They still have Schwarber/Jay/Almora/Zobrist and Bryant that can play the OF, I even think Contreras has played the OF before. That team is so stacked and versatile.

Anybody want Matt Duffy for a draft pick or waiver upgrade? He's expected back in May sometime.

29.6 K% since April 21. Coupled with an 11.1 BB% over that same span, and he's looking mighty intriguing.

Bryant's in RF again today with La Stella playing 3rd and Candelario playing 1B???

I'm planning on deactivating the DDL ProBoards in a few days. I guess it's obsolete?
