The Prospect/Minor Leagues Thread

[theblujay]

I think its a good to idea to have one of these threads where we can discuss whatever is left of our minor league system.

 

 

So far today:

 

Negrych 2-3

Gose 2-4

[GD]

Great thread.

 

As I mentioned in around baseball..

 

Player IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA

Justin Jackson 2.2 2 1 1 0 1 0 3.38

 

How's Andy Burns doing? I know half of AA is injured and Lopes isn't doing great.

 

When do Anderson/Barreto/Lugo's seasons start?

[theblujay]

Great thread.

Bluefield starts June 20th. Vancouver the 17th.

[theblujay]

For AA Joel Carreno has had a great start as a reliever.

 

24:2 K:BB

 

24K in 13.1 IP

 

0.68 ERA

[theblujay]

Great thread.

Burns has been great.

 

.318/.409/.514 9 SB

 

16BB: 13K

 

(In Dunedin)

Remember Carreno in 2011? 2.83 FIP? He was great. I still have some faith in him.

 

Burns is a really nice sleeper, he's not that old or anything.

He's 22 in A+ which isn't great, but still a sleeper.

[GD]

He's 22 in A+ which isn't great, but still a sleeper.

 

It's better than a guy like Pillar. If he gets promoted, which he will, he'll be 22 in AA, which is perfectly fine.

[theblujay]

Does anyone know where my avvy DJ Davis is supposed to play this year?

[GD]

I would think Lansing or Vancouver.

[theblujay]

He's not in Lansing now...I think you meant Bluefield. Also do we know whats going on with Alford?

[GD]

Meh, close enough haha. I still want him in Vancouver, either way.

 

Alford's redshirting this year, I think.

[ElNik2013]

The way Pillar is hitting, he should be in Buffalo soon, shouldn't he?

[Angrioter]

vancouver, also Dawel Lugo

[ElNik2013]

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but Gose has hit 2nd all year, grooming him to hit 2nd in Toronto behind Reyes?

[GD]

Probably, but he's still like 25.

 

vancouver, also Dawel Lugo

 

Jacob Anderson, too?

 

Wait, why's Lugo in Vancouver? That's surprising.

 

I assume Tirado is still in extended spring.

That would be a terrible idea imo. 2nd is for your best hitter.

[TheHurl]

Goins goes to May 4th without a walk now has 4 in two games (3 yesterday, 1 more today). I know that Buffalo stats are a little inflated, but I really think he's a legit injury replacement/utility IF.

[ElNik2013]

I just don't know why he wouldn't be leading off.

I noticed that. I do like him and Pillar just keeps on hitting in AA, they both could be cheap backup if/of options...unless some GM wants to treat them as top prospects and take them for a starting 2b!

[Angrioter]

Dawel Lugo will start at Bluefield

 

Sorry.

[TheHurl]

I just don't know why he wouldn't be leading off.

 

he needs to be seeing fastballs. It's all he can really handle at this point.

[GD]

Dawel Lugo will start at Bluefield

 

Sorry.

 

Ah, yeah, that makes way more sense. You ever seen the kid? I've heard very encouraging things on him.

[ElNik2013]

24 this year, not saying he's a top prospect, but he could be a cheap 4th OF option. He was drafted in the 32nd round in 2011 and has moved quickly. Just move him to AAA if he keeps this up. Anyway, it's always good to see an organization draft a guy in the 32nd round that makes it...now if they could only not blow their early round picks...lol.

Yeah, that's fair, I was talking in terms of being too old to really have more of a future than a 4th OF. I still see a lot of Reed Johnson in Pillar.

Lugo

Good bat speed

Hard to strike out.

Decent arm and bases runner.

 

 

Richard Ureña is a decent guy too, I like his glove

He keeps hitting and blue jays will need all cheap productive options they can get in the next 2-3 years with the salaries they have taken on and he just keeps on doing what he's supposed to do to move up in the minors.

Yeah, you've brought him up before. Can he hit?

[Angrioter]

Lugo hits the ball with power (gap po, no dingers pop), I think he'll not be a bad hitter.

Richard Ureña doesn't have gap power but he's smart, he puts the ball on ground frequently.

"Potential .290+ hitter. Power is in there and will manifest with additional physical maturation and development of his offensive approach. Has lift in the swing and bat speed for 20+ home runs, backed up by piles of doubles. Potential impact middle-of-the-order hitter with average and power."

 

Thoughts?

a little overrated but more o less.
