The Prospect/Minor Leagues Thread

[Laika]

well you can live with it for now, given the extreme K rate and the home run suppression, just 1 in 230 batters faced. Looking at Aaron Sanchez's season in the MWL when he was 19 the numbers are actually close to identical, similar K to BB ratio, Reid-Foley is walking more and striking out more. And the higher K rate makes me think SRF is less smoke and mirrors than Sanchez was, his offspeed stuff must be working given the crazy high K rate, i don't think he's overwhelming guys with his fastball like Sanchez did at that level.

 

Right. If you can pick one stat-sheet attribute in a pitcher prospect, and you're not allowed to pick "run prevention" or something cheeky like that, you pick K rate.

 

If SRF can continue to shave that BB/9 down as the season continues, he could end up with similar numbers to Tyler Glasnow's 19 year old kick at A ball.

Hmmm. Didn't really earn it, but he's probably never going to hit anyway and he's 24. Alford pushed him up, I guess?

[Angrioter]

Jon Diaz starting CF in Buffalo ATM.

Pompey -> Buffalo

Fields -> NH

Alford -> Dunedin

 

DJ Davis deserve a promotion too

[baubau]

Pompey with a HR for NH. Nice to see him hitting for power even if the BB/K aren't great. With Pillar playing solid CF there isn't much of a need when Saunders comes back so no need to rush him.

 

Before he was pulled out for precaution form the pitch to the head, Pompey had a 24 game hit streak in NH dating back to last year. The kid really loves to hit there. I do agree that the Jays can take their time with Pompey but they should also have him back up in Buffalo soon I hope.

Posted my Norris recap in the Breaking Blue thread.

[ElNik2013]

So another solid AA draftee is making his debut this Saturday? Looking forward to watching Boyd (hoping it goes better than Nolin's debut, lol).

[Nafro]

Hey Ang or anyone else. What can you tell me about Jairo Rosario? He seems to be having a great DSL. But also might be a little old for the league.

Good debut for Josh DeGraaf!

[metafour]

Puerto Rican 5th round pick Jose Espada made his GCL debut today; a clean 2 innings with 0 hits, 0 walks, and 3 strikeouts. He was relieved by Juan Meza, our top IFA signee from last year's class. Meza currently has 1 inning pitched with 0 hits, 1 walk, and 2 strikeouts.

Good news for Labourt, he only walked 2 in 6 ip but only had 2 strikeouts
