Messy second inning for Sanchez. Gives up a walk and a 2-run homer. Rebounds to close inning with a groundout and a strikeout. #Bisons

[SpeedyGose]

Amy Moritz @amymoritz · 3m

The run in the third inning is unearned thanks to a passed ball, but Sanchez gives up two hits and the #Bisons trail, 3-0, in the third.

[Angrioter]

Miguel Castro (Better than Sanchez):

4 scoreless, walk, 2K's

[Angrioter]

Sanchez (37 S, 34

4.1 IP, 3 walks, 4 K's, Dinger

[Caper]

Blue Jays top pitching prospect currently pitching.... 3 innings, one hit, 1k, 1bb and a great pickoff.

[Caper]

Frank Viola? lol

 

haha.... of course.

[gruber92]

Miguel Castro (Better than Sanchez):

4 scoreless, walk, 2K's

 

What's the book on Castro? He had decent numbers last year also and has a good frame at 6'5 190.

 

Legit prospect?

[Angrioter]

Frank Viola? lol

 

Miguelito Castro

6 Scoreless, walk, 3 K's

Sanchez 5 IP; 4H; 3R; 2ER; 4BB; 4SO; 83Ps for #bisons. Again command issues. CH and CB up in zone. FBs pulled down to 1B side #bluejays

[gruber92]

lol

 

Yes.

 

Sorry,i'm not up to par on some of the younger prospects. Where did we get him from?

[Angrioter]

It's fine. He was signed as an IFA out of the Dominican a few years ago. Dominated the DSL last season, received late season promotions to GCL and Bluefield. Received an award for being the top player on the DSL Jays team..could argue he was one of the top pitchers in the league. He dominated EST this year and received an assignment to Vancouver, where he gets to face crappy 24 year old college hitters and he's predictably dominating.

 

John Schneider Vancouvers manager says that he has the best slider in the entire organization, he's got a fastball that he can comfortably reach the high 90s. "Helium" is a good word that describes Miguel Castro.

 

............He touch 97 mph and he's better than Aaron Sanchez

[Angrioter]

How is his command?

improved a lot

 

I remember hate this guy greatly, but now i love him; the same case that Gregory Polanco.

[Angrioter]

lol

[Caper]

Bluejays top pitching prospect, lowers era to 1.15.

[Orgfiller]

Bluejays top pitching prospect, lowers era to 1.15.

 

Did Norris pitch today?

[Angrioter]

Ang, what % (percentage) of players in the DSL do you think are using a false age?

 

lol The number has dropped considerably after the government partnered with MLB. Dominicans develop as a man at a later age.

[Caper]

He's talking about Frank Viola..30 year old knuckleballer

 

His ERA actually went from 0.00 to 1.15. lol

 

Capers back to his old tricks,

 

 

I will say. He is definitely worth watching. As has a far greater chance of making the majors then many prospects after the 10 spot.

[Caper]

Anthony Alford sighting at Bluefield. Got a hit. Anyone know how long he can stay?

[GD]

Lol, I don't even know if Alford is top 50 anymore. What a waste.

[RIPEXPOS]

Alford has ZERO future in football, so the moment he realizes it's baseball or bust, he'll become an interesting piece. I know he loves football, but he can be a star on the diamond...

[GD]

Is that Luis Encarnacion? Dude is gonna be a stud.

I don't mind this.... reasonably good numbers when he's off his game, 1 level below MLB

 

If he finds command, Jays have a #2 or better

Except its hard to just find your command, his mechanics are wacky. He's always going to have trouble throwing strikes in my mind.

[G-Snarls]

[G-Snarls]

Graveman?

 

Awesome. We need to groom him in to a closer obviously.

Chase DeJong had a nice start today. 1ER, 0BB, 8K in 6IP. Now an 18/2 K:BB ratio over his last 3 starts.

 

Pretty solid prospect. Not a huge ceiling but could be a nice #4 starter.

I don't like how many balls in the air he gives up. He gets some strikeouts, but not enough to justify the hard contact he allows. Will get in trouble at AA, if not at high-A, unless he improves.

Low ceiling, high floor guy.

Kevin Correia kind of pitcher. High FB-out rate and don't possess the heat and/stuff to strike batters out.

 

Youngs like Tirado-Labourt (K's) and Robson (GB-out) over DeJong 24/7
