The Prospect/Minor Leagues Thread

[GD]

I wonder how much pity Kalfus will take upon the poor opposing pitchers tonight. Probably not much. I'm predicting 5-3 with 7 homers, 12 RBI, and 5 BB.

OK, so much respect for Bob MCGowan, he said he stood behind the back stop in March and Sanchez blew his head off so to speak with his fast ball like he was going to be another Bob Feller. I guess whatever you hear in March you can take with a grain of salt. When I heard that I made sure I didn't forget the name Sanchez. Don't know what McGowan was doing all winter but who cares.

Makes sense on Pillar because of Gose in Buffalo. I really want to see Burns in AA for the 2nd half or a good chunk of it. I was checking what Marisnick did last year before his promotion to NH and going by that, Burns might soon get the promotion. Anyway, we'll see what happens.

 

We will start seeing promotions now that short season ball has started.

[GD]

We need a prospects subforum, honestly.

Used to play hockey with this guy

f***in' right. King Kalfus shall not be contained.

[GD]

Dickie Thon in CF?

 

What the f***? Must be a typo.

 

 

 

 

Be prepared, when/if Kalfus hits a dinger I'm going to go apeshit.

[GD]

Are you listening to the game?

 

Nah I have work. I shouldn't be on the forums lol but oh well. Don't want to distract myself any more than I already am. Keep me updated!

[backontop]

I don't like Drabek, his first name is not Doug, so when I hear of of Drabek, it makes me dream of Cecil and Casey Janeson being starters again, but in your expert opinion, is someone other then Hutchinson ready to become a starter in April 2014?

Probably Stroman and Nolin.

I hope so. I'm looking forward to seeing Burns in AA. Maybe they'll promote Nolin and Stroman to AAA, but they may not want to mess with Buffalo's roster too much as to not piss off the owners there with all the roster shuffling that has already gone on.

They're top prospects though, which they complained about not having. I'm sure they'd take a roster crunch in favor of those two.

Let's also not forget that Drabek and Hutchison will probably be sent down to Buffalo upon returning later on so that may also prevent Stroman and/or Nolin from being promoted. I guess they could get rid of some of the AAAA guys in favor of the younger guys.

[StevieRay]

he is bust

Could you imagine a rotation of Hutch/Stroman/Nolin/Drabek/Jenkins though? The fans would love that.

 

Kalfus strikes out swinging

 

I see he's feeling bad for the pitchers tonight.

[GD]

he is bust

 

YOU SHUT YoUR MOUTH.

[backontop]

How do you hear from the expert, "The BluJay", the man who knows whats going in the Blue Jays Minor leagues? Other then Drabec, who is not his Dad and hutchinson, (don't want to go thru ten years of Dustin McGovern again. Is there one or two names who can become Blue Jays starters in April 2014?) In your humble opinion sir? Caz wez gonna need them.

[GD]

Kalfus makes a great catch near the wall in RF

 

Stud. 10 WAR+ per year.

 

f*** I really want to see what happened lol.

[GD]

Leyland solo HR! Tie game. Kalfus up to bat

 

Here comes the BOOM

[OtisNixonFan]

Come on Kalfster

[OtisNixonFan]

Errrmmm.. Dem skillz

[GD]

Kalfus is life. Kalfus is love. All hail Kalfus.

[GD]

Kalfus is Trout + Ruth + Griffey + A-Rod in his prime.

[OtisNixonFan]

Add a run for Kalfus

[GD]

Kalfus scored his first professional run. C's leading 2-1!!

 

ALL HAIL KALFUS! He is a legend in the making!

[OtisNixonFan]

Grby???ski has retired 14 straight eh?

[John_Havok]

IIRC He's pretty much the only pitcher of note in Vancouver. Everyone else is just org fillers

 

He and Surrey's Justin Atkinson (IF) are pretty much the only two guys on the roster worth following. Aside from Messiah Kalfus that is....

Well there is Dickie Thon... 1.5 Mill gloriously well spent.

[John_Havok]

Yeah I thought Davis not starting in Vancouver was odd too since he ended theirs last year and the jays usually have a guy finish a year where he would start the next year
