The Prospect/Minor Leagues Thread

[GD]

Minor league hitting is different from major league hitting.

 

Wow, our friendly neighborhood Frag back on the main boards?

[Atothe]

Why was Pompey sent back down to New Hampshire

[Atothe]

Migueal Castro 1ip 1bb 1so

[Atothe]

DSJ 1-1, homerun

[SpeedyGose]

A bit premature.

 

Perhaps.

 

Doesn't change my opinion that they have done a near perfect rebuild, though

[Atothe]

Perhaps.

How? they basically have no pitching. What if they trade the wrong young player for a pitcher that shits the bed.

Miguel Castro 2ip 0r 1bb 2so

It's well known that hitters are better for longevity. The bust rate is also higher for pitchers than position players

 

It's a great rebuild because they can always do the opposite of this season. Trade a high rated hitting prospect for prime starter when they need it.

As I understand it they plan to blow a wad of money on pitching.

Lester and Price, amazing but silly. Might work

I agree with you but I don't think they'll be ready for 2016. 2017 or 2018

[Atothe]

Castro's getting some weak swings, swings and misses on the change up from what I hear

[Atothe]

Homerun given up by Castro

[Atothe]

Are you listening?

 

Yup

[Atothe]

Inning ending DP saves Castro after walking Vogelbach. Wasn't sharp that inning

[Atothe]

Mitch Nay has his second High A hit

[Atothe]

D-Jays just scored three runs for Castro

[Atothe]

Castro struck Billy Mickinney on three pitches, third pitch being a change up

[Atothe]

Imagine a 2015 New Hampshire rotation of Osuna, Castro, Cole and Boyd

[Atothe]

Easy 5th inning for Castro, strikeout and two groundballs outs

[Atothe]

[Atothe]

Sounds like a pretty good start so far.

 

Struggled some with the control in the 4th inning other then that damn good start

[Atothe]

something like 68 pitches in 5 innings

[Atothe]

I think he'll be in the same position as Daniel Norris right now, at this time next season. Seems reasonable?

 

He's throwing strikes. they say he looks poised and ready to go after every pitch. Great competitor

[Atothe]

If Castro tightens up that Slider, I think he'll be better then Norris

[Atothe]

Mitch Nay has had three good at bats, 1-2 with a bb

[Atothe]

Not unreasonable. Castro has top of the rotation upside.

 

I wasn't comparing the two pitchers I was saying that next year, Castro will possibly start in Dunedin, spend time in New Hampshire and finish in Buffalo. Just like Norris this season.

 

At this point if he has a good instructional and spring training. I wouldn't put it past the jays to send him to New Hampshire for the entire year

[Atothe]

Might be Castro's last inning, gave up two hard hits. 1 out so far

[Atothe]

5 2/3 innings 80 pitches 3h 2er 3bb 3so 8-4 go-fb, He's done
