he does NOT look 19 lol

 

maybe he just has an old face or something

Strikeout #5 for Castro - Knee buckling slider for a strike, then comes back with a high 90s fastball at the knees for strike 3

King any idea where I can read a scouting report on Castro?

[Angrioter]

Castro is good > Tirado and Labourt

[Angrioter]

In A-ball level the pitchers should win the games with just 4 innings

[Atothe]

Castro is too good for these terrible College hitters

[ace3113]

Get back to work George! lol

We're developing winners.

Roberto Osuna will be ready to go in couple of weeks

[G-Snarls]

Awesome re Laguna

 

He could be a top prospect if he gets back on track...

[G-Snarls]

He hasn't even turned 19 yet!

 

Such a high ceiling guy

 

And typo obv Osuna not Laguna. LOL

[ace3113]

Man, if Zak Wasilewski can only limit the walks he'd be golden. Really good stuff for a lefty.

How would you guys rank our pitching prospects? I'm going to go out on a limb and consider Stroman graduated...

 

And in that case, I am pretty tempted to rank Norris #1 ATM. The rare nasty stuff/no control guy who finds control. No homers given up, 4/1 K/BB ratio... not to mention the 6-0 record and 1.22 ERA (I know, I know, just shows his dominance is yielding team results).

 

I know Sanchez has been the guy around here for a while, but Norris in less time has made more adjustments, and while he isn't quite as nasty, he's still a nasty lefthander...

[RIPEXPOS]

Norris

Sanchez

Hoffman

Osuna

Nolin

Reid-Foley

That looks pretty good, that's an impressive group of prospect arms, even moreso if you include Stroman. You could make the argument Stroman, Sanchez, and Norris are all top 50 prospects, Hoff and Osuna big time talents on the mend, Nolin I'm a bit meh about, but Reid-Foley is filthy as f*** and definitely was a 1st round round talent.

I still have osuna over Hoffman, he's gonna be in double A by this time next year.

[z3r0s]

so many pitchers... I just wish we had a hitter or two performing at higher levels.

[Angrioter]

Andy Burns was always just a guy. Isn't he also the guy who said (on Twitter maybe) that walks are meaningless?

 

Brad Glenn

[Angrioter]

[Boxcar]

Great news!

 

Fully extinct is the best way to be.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Fully extinct is the best way to be.

 

I like my ballplayers to be functionally illiterate. If they can read just enough .... we're good.

[z3r0s]

 

Hollon; Employs Ang to tweet for him because, Ang is that damn good?

[Angrioter]

[Angrioter]

Yeah. I like him lol

[ElNik2013]

Barreto 1-3 tonight.

Hey Ang/King, is Starlyn Suriel just an org filler or do we potentially have something here?
