The Prospect/Minor Leagues Thread

[IronLadle]

Is triple AAA ball even considered a developmental stage or league really?

 

Scrubs wannabes and has beens with the odd legit Milb player sprinkled in very few prospects from what I see!

 

It's a league for your bench players

JFaS did a thing on minor league performance vs age http://www.breakingblue.ca/2014/02/04/projecting-hitting-prospects-mlb-primes/

 

To be a league average bat, a 23 year old in A needs a 160 wRC+.

 

Locastro is 15% shy of that.

 

 

You go, Gruber

 

In the cyborg's calculations were draft age and injuries and lost playing time due to this taken into account?

So then triple aaa most would fail,

Double aa more then half would probably fail,

And Single a less then half might fail,

Not saying we have the next Bautista's or EE but I am sure the stats geeks would have them posting failing grads too!

So then Double AA ball is really the top of most systems devolopmental systems so then should not Castro pompey and Norris be there instead, learning?

Good Lord..

 

Jose Iglesia say "f*** you. Suck my dick, JFaS"!!

No, because AAA is the closest thing to the big leagues

Fixed.

[GD]

Fixed.

 

lol this is gonna be fun

[Angrioter]

Rowdy Tellez 3-runs dinga

[Angrioter]

Anthony Alford's on-base streak is now 27 games, thanks to his 25th walk of the year.

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

No, because AAA is the closest thing to the big leagues

 

But a rookie needs fixing or seasoning or to feel some success again is this the best place then to do that?

[ElNik2013]

System is now showing some good signs in terms of position prospects with Pompey, Alford, Jansen, DSJ, Tellez and Urena.

Let's see him get healthy and playing first.

With that last Locastro stat, I suppose I should add: Anthony Alford just singled. He's been on base 60 times in 28 games. #Lugnuts

f*** you. Suck my bimbin, Barry Bonds!!

on base + explosive athlete = stud

[ElNik2013]

I would think Alford could get promoted in June. Quick promotions may have been part of the deal to get him to focus on baseball, but who knows.

[ElNik2013]

Also, Pompey's not in Buffalo's lineup again today. Last time he played was May 19, must have a minor injury.

unless he goes into a massive slump, he has to be promoted very soon

[nmrch]

There's no need to rush Alford, i think a promotion for the last third of the minor league season might be appropriate but let him dominate MWL pitching even further for now

There was some kind of a deal likely cut to get him to leave Ole Miss in the middle of an undefeated season, even if he wasn't starting. If you are going to call him up in September or give him a chance to compete for a job in Spring as part of a deal...then you want to give him at least half a season in AA.

AA is a f***ing idiot but i highly doubt he made a promise like that. I'm pretty sure Alford just saw that he didn't have a future in football and the Jays might have given him small financial incentive but no way did they make him a promise of fast tracking him the way you describe.

 

But its so absurd to even think about Alford competing for a big league job next spring, that's worse than the Miguel Castro thing. You got a minor league manager saying he doesn't even know how to make throws from the outfield yet and he has some problems with strikeouts and hitting for power, we shouldn't be thinking about a potential big league future. That's atleast 2-3 years away.

I'm thinking if all goes well, Sept 2016 at the earliest and competing for position spring 2017

Tim Locastro

Tim Locastro

 

1-2 with 2 BB today. He and Alford are on base machines.

[spats]

I wonder why there has been no word on Pompey missing the last week.Are the Jays hiding something?
