I told you Urena was switch hitting, Ang?

 

BP Yes, real game no....at least in the DWL

[gruber92]

Pompey 2-4 today with no K's, average slowly climbing (.253)

[Caper]

Where did this Ryan Borucki kid come from? 5.0IP, 3H,1ER, 0BB, 7SO

[GD]

Daaamn. My sleeper pick looking good.

15th round HS pick from 2012 who got hurt his Senior season but looked really good when healthy. Signed for $426,000. Had TJ surgery last year to fix the elbow he injured in HS. Tall and projectable LHP that has thrown up to 94 mph. Very solid sleeper prospect and a good example of what a deep scouting staff can do.

[metafour]

Also; catcher Dan Jansen is now up to an .843 OPS in Bluefield after tonight's big game. Showing good plate discipline and power, has also thrown out 40% of base stealers.

 

Drafted in the 16th round last year. Another cold-weather kid, from Wisconsin.

426K + pro quality surgery and rehab seems like a pretty f***ing good deal for an injured 15th rounder.

Same s*** of Patrick Murphy but righty.

With the new CBA, the round doesn't matter. (Brentz 11th, Tellez 30th)

Obviously, but Jansen only signed for $100K...he didn't fall like Tellez and Brentz did because of signability. Thats good old fashioned scouting; finding an under-the-radar kid. He was going to Jacksonville University otherwise. Not even a big recruit.

[Laika]

(Brentz 11th, Tellez 30th)

 

Brentz: more walks than IP or K's.

Tellez: .650 OPS

 

 

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo blue jays

[Laika]

Imagine if Toronto signed Kris Bryant back in 2010?

[GD]

The fact that they're identifying these guys is encouraging, I guess.

[RIPEXPOS]

Yea but Bryant is probably the best prospect int he world right now, and would allow us to move Lawrie to 2nd and be a great fit in our stadium.

[Laika]

There's a lot of players you could say this for. Aaron Nola, Luke Weaver (IIRC) + more.

 

Yes, and probably for every team. Still, big diff between guys like Nola/Weaver (2011) and a guy like KB who is possibly the ~3rd best prospect in baseball. Sigh.

 

(Arguably the #1 prospect I suppose? Maybe? I dunno).

426K + pro quality surgery and rehab seems like a pretty f***ing good deal for an injured 15th rounder.

 

His $400K+ bonus was the most given to any player drafted after the 10th round in that draft class. He was looking like an early-round pick before he suffered his elbow injury. He had a scholarship to Iowa so no one expected him to be signable. Big steal for us.

Brentz: more walks than IP or K's.

Tellez: .650 OPS

Brentz is getting better. He was a converted outfielder who's only real skill was throwing the ball hard, thus he was hilariously raw even by HS pitcher standards. He's a long term project and always was going to be a long term project.

 

Tellez has been disappointing but he has maintained a strong BB/K rate and is hitting .351/.385/.486 over the past 10 games.

[RIPEXPOS]

Imagine if we didn't pass on Mike trout and Chris Sale....

I like everything you posted up until you referenced a 10 game sample size

Similar to Tyler Gonzales, former SS.

They've played 30 games. That is 1/3rd of his season. These kids are in short-season ball...a s***** ~10-15 game stint will make your numbers look putrid. In this case a 10 game sample shows that he could be turning it around, especially considering that even while he wasn't hitting at all before, he wasn't really striking out either.

[Laika]

They've played 30 games.

 

So what? If they'd played two games would that make a one game sample important? Ten games is virtually meaningless in any context.

Big time power potential, good idea of the strikezone. I see no reason to be alarmed. He'll get better faster

[burlingtonbandit]

Borucki is good.

 

Do you have a scouting report on him? Seems like you know more than what you are saying lol.

[KingKat]

What's the story with Nolin? He made a 2.2 IP start in Dunedin on July 19 and then nothing.

Rich Harden disease?

Stop it lol

[burlingtonbandit]

 

Any reason he is pitching only once every 2 weeks? Guessing he is pitching in simulated games on the side while working on things.
