The Prospect/Minor Leagues Thread

Tonight's lineup: CF Davis, DJ 2B Locastro RF Loveless 3B Nay 1B Dean SS Barreto DH Tellez C Saez LF Davis, J SP Labourt

 

Tellez!

 

Holy crap! Crazy news.

 

I personally don't think Rowdy's ready, but he's been hot and that lineup could use some lefty power for their playoff run. Can't hurt, and it should be a good experience regardless.

Cardona demoted to GCL............ What's going on

 

Paper move to get an extra bat or reliever to Bluefield probably.

[KingKat]

Anyone know anything about Hookahs? Dan Lietz (our 2013 draft pick) just instagramed a picture of his "new home made hookah"? I'm pretty uneducated here, is that used to smoke weed? God damn

 

I think tobacco or Haschisch but I'm not educated about it either.

[KingKat]

All depends what he puts in it but I don't think it counts as illegal drug paraphernalia per say. Again though I don't know much about it. Someone who's spent some time in the Middle East would know more about it.

[Pete_7]

I couldn't help but notice Stilson was not on the Bisons lineup card tonight. Call up?

[John_Havok]

With tonight's Canadians win, They clinched the playoffs

 

Are they not tied with Spokane with 1 game left?

[John_Havok]

No, I was listening to the radio broadcast. They are in the playoffs

 

Did they explain how that is possible? Not being a jerk here I just want to know how they figure it

[John_Havok]

Yeah that's what I was confused on, Spokane was ahead in the second half standings but the team who won the first half has already clinched the second half as well, and Vancouver is 1 game ahead of Spokane in the overall standings with 1 game to go, and they have the tiebreaker.

[theblujay]

Chase DeJong promoted to Vancouver

 

Good. I wonder if they are gonna promote anyone else from Bluefield for Van's playoffs.

Stroman! No hitter through 4!

Oh damn. Keep us updated lol

[GD]

Stop jinxing it people

 

Following twitter but dunno how good that is as a method of following

[Phantom95]

No-hit bid gone.

[GD]

King jinxed it

[Laika]

Marcus Fcking Stroman

 

8 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 11 K.

[GD]

Holy f***ing s***

 

Bring this dude up

[Laika]

Don't try to tell me that he can't start

[Caper]

Holy f***ing s***

 

Bring this dude up

 

 

Even though there is a great case not to bring him up in a meaningless month.... I think you are correct.

Zero need to waste an option year down the stretch, just wait until next year. I'd like to see him in AAA for a month or two as well. Now that they aren't in Vegas, I think spending some time against some Quad-a hitters will help develop him further

[theblujay]

Great way to end the season for my boy Stroman. I think he might be #1 on my offseason prospect list...

Paid positions.

it wouldn't waste an option year (he has to spend 20 days in the minors after being added to the 40 man) it allows them to start him in the minors without wasting an option though.

[TheHurl]

Well, the minor league season is over. Kind of sad

 

Bluefield, Vancouver and Dunedin are the only teams who made the playoffs.

 

Bluefield has been eliminated

 

Vancouver and Dunedin start playoffs tomorrow

 

wish they'd add milb.tv for these games.

I knew there was something else to that... thanks.

 

Curious. Would you rather have Beade or Stroman?

I think I would rather Beede but I don't have a great idea of how he's doing right now.

[Caper]

No doubt he is higher touted... be interesting to look back 10 years from now.

[GD]

Speaking of 10 years from now, I wonder what completely obscure random prospect is gonna be tearing the league up Piazza/Pujols style.

[DuckDuckGose]

Beede, more upside/riskier and a similar floor. Better velocity and body than Stroman who still has the better out pitch.

Stroman now that we can see he can start.

0.45 fip

 

{[(13*0)+(0)-(2*11)]/8} + 3.20

-2.75 + 3.20 = 0.45 fip
