The Prospect/Minor Leagues Thread

Seems your reacting to a small sample size in Sanchez so far this season.

 

Nope, reacting to Norris. My opinion on Sanchez hasn't changed. I've had him #2 for a long time. But I can't say no to Norris anymore.

 

Also, /some/ reaction to Sanchez is justified. He's had a good amount of starts and he's walking as many as he strikes out, and he isn't striking many out. Which isn't all of why I moved him down, but I'm not high on Sanchez. And I'm very high on Norris, as is apparent by most of my posts.

Anyone have a stream of the Buffalo game? Stroman vs Latos

[Caper]

There should be a link to it right in the box score.

[flafson]

Looks like we broke Stroman. Now we will see if he can adjust and triumph.

[theblujay]

I'd have Pompey ahead of Barreto and Nay.

If a pitcher can't handle what the Jays did to Stroman... They were never going to make it anyway.

It would really be nice if Pompey can continue to develop and put the numbers he's been putting up. There would be a buzz in the city pushing for the local kid to make to the bigs and play for his home town.

He's gonna be billed as Maple Jesus lol

[flafson]

Brain injury?!?!?! That sounds horrible.

I just made this long GIF of Alberto Tirado (Seth Conner hitting, Jorge Saez catching)

That fastball is hella explosive, fun to watch!

[SpeedyGose]

Yeah, i just think Pompey is way safer. He plays really good D at an important position and Nay's D is questionable at 3rd so he really has to hit.

 

I think we're seeing Pompey's floor with Anthony Gose right now.

Flores!!

[Caper]

Flores is probably the only other prospect outside of Sanchez worth watching in NH.

D-No going ham in Dunedin. 5ip 3h 0r 1bb 8so

 

By July it's going to be Norris > Sanchez on many prospects lists, if it isn't already.

Oh but it is.

 

Sweet vindication. Sanchez's last beautiful performance and now THIS beastly performance is helping my point.

[TDotttt2005]

0.72 ERA. Lets bump him up to NH soon *NOW

[theblujay]

I've been waiting for Sanchez to get on a roll before I go to see him in NH, but maybe I'll have to go see Norris instead.

[beachbum]

Flores is probably the only other prospect outside of Sanchez worth watching in NH.

 

I wouldn't count Burns out yet. Also schimpf, berti and crouse are intriguing to me in NH.

[SpeedyGose]

Wow this is pretty crazy (never noticed)

 

Michael De Leon, born in 1997, (just recently turned 17) is playing for the Rangers A Ball team

 

He also has 3 PAs in AA lol

Seems really aggressive considering his 33 wRC+ lol

De Leon is good

[SpeedyGose]

Meh, he's way young for the level (17), most players his age would be playing in the DSL for 1 or 2 seasons.

 

Also small sample size , but one thing to take from it is that he's not striking out very much so its not like he's COMPLETELY overmatched at the level.

 

Aggressive indeed!

 

Ya, I hear you.

 

It's just very odd to see him completely skip the first 4 levels at that age lol

 

I guess we will wait and see but usually with players who move that quickly (Bryce, Urias) you see some kind of evidence that they should belong.

 

Hard to tell with him if there's something behind the numbers because he swings at everything, haha

[SpeedyGose]

There is really no reason for it lol, put him in GCL and let him dominate for a month.

 

He wasn't some super prospect either, ranked #26 on BAs International list

[Angrioter]

Melky Mesa and Hector Gimenez made their Blue Jays debuts today (AA New Hampshire)

 

Kendall Graveman continues to be a groundball machine (9GO-4FO)

 

Other than that, not a very exciting day in the organization.

 

As I had predicted, Matt Boyd is not the big deal.

[HERPDERP]

darn do they usually play games this early? or is it a doubleheader

[Caper]

lol, Sanchez with 88 pitches and he's back out for the 7th inning.

 

Did they take the pitch count off for this game?

 

I hope they keep it off. Take the kid gloves off.

[Angrioter]

Annnd Sanchez gives up a leadoff walk, pulled from the game.

 

Sanchez walking backwards.

[HERPDERP]

and only 1 K.

 

He's pulling a Drabek!
