Nolin so far today: 5IP, 3H, 0ER, 1BB, 7K.

I cannot make the MILB threads anymore, the board doesn't work on my computer. (Posting this from my phone).

I more so lurk then post here, that being said, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that I enjoy the hell out of your MILB threads.

Stroman, Sanchez, Norris, and Nolin are making a sexy top 4 pitchers with Osuna still hanging around.

 

After this draft we could be adding as many as two first round power pitchers as well (Toussaint, Holmes, Ortiz, Freeland, Finnegan, Cease, Hoffman, Beede, Bukauskas, etc).

I often wonder... with such a premium on pitching, if a team would be better off drafting nothing but pitchers with all their early picks..... it just seems that if you can achieve extreme starting pitching depth, you can trade one to fill 2 holes on the offensive side.

Boyd tonight: 6IP, 3H, 1ER, 3BB, 9K. Looks to me like he should be in AA. Arguably Norris too, but at least Boyd. They can then promote Graveman from Lansing to Dunedin, but who knows.

 

The guy is 23, maybe he's another Sean Nolin. We'll see what happens.

[GD]

Get Boyd to AA please.

Man... I was fapping to Emilio Guerrero. Look how lanky he is. IS there any decent body comp for this guy?

Maybe J.J. Hardy?

We are all staying on the Brenden Kalfus train! Unlike like many Blue Jays fan who have a new favorite every couple of days, a bunch of us look at the numbers, the awards, the trend and the mental make-up. Most of the people here would have traded away Mickey Mantle after he struggled early in his career and almost left the game.

[GD]

Yay banned finally.

 

I reported his post. You're welcome.

ftfy

 

subtle but clever lol

Hey, this is a solid thread. It's the Kalfus one that was s***.

For the record (just in case there is anyone actually listening to this guy) the Mick had a .790 OPS as a 19 year old, he was just built up to be greater than life, so the media did portray him as "struggling"...especially after hitting 9 HR's in spring. His struggles that made him call his Dad to say he'd be coming home (to a Dad who was dying) were in KC in early 1951 and he hit .361/.445/.650 in 166 PA's so I'm not sure how bad these struggles could have been.

I just assume this is the Kalfus thread under a new name

Stroman KILLING it in Buffalo

 

ERA 1.17 and striking out over 12 per 9 innings

 

They can't keep him there forever. But they have 5 healthy starters plus Happ in the bigs.

[G-Snarls]

Would love to watch this one...

 

[Caper]

Emilio Guerrero also continues to rake

 

 

He actually got so hot... he physically caught on fire.

[theblujay]

I really like Dean and Nay

[ElNik2013]

The touted pitching in Lansing has been a bust so far. It's early though.

[G-Snarls]

Derrick Loveless is my guy. Continues to rake

 

Mitch Nay with a double

 

Tirado with an unimpressive start thus far

 

Stroman dealing for Buffalo

 

Stroman is ready for the show. Any time now.

[GD]

Don't get your hopes up. There's no real reason to bring him up until at LEAST June. Avoid super 2 and hopefully we'll still be pitching well.

I know, so I'm not. No sense burning a service year if the 5 are healthy and performing. And I still think AA will put Happ in the rotation if someone goes down in May or June.

[baseballsss]

is every prospect thread all combined into one except the daily update ones?

[GoldBull]

Dwight Smith Jr. has been killing it so far this year. What's the word on his defense? Does he project to be an above avg LF?

[GD]

His bat doesn't profile for a corner outfield, and he may be moved to 2B as soon as next season.

 

Wasn't he going to be this year?
