Raw power ala Juan Francisco, JP Arencibia, Randy Ruiz, Chip Cannon.

 

But he can hit pitches anywhere in the zone and offspeed pitches....that alone already puts him ahead of those you mentioned

I know Vladi Jr very well. I saw him tons of time in BP and in couple of games. He's a raw raw guy with a lot of pop, but he's just a kid. He needs to develop his skills before make a value judgment about him. I've seen a lot of 16 years old guys fail.

I agree, he has a long way to go. Got to put in the work and get better each day. But from where other 16 year olds are he is way better than most.

Rowdy has his 2nd home run. This guy has been outstanding so far as a 21 year old in AA.

I have a friend named Andres James. He is the son of the Cano's coach Cano when he was about 15 years.

 

Andres was the best player in the league, much much better than Robinson Cano. A team offered him a record of 3 million dollars and his father refused to sign. The father demanded between 5 to 6 millions.

 

In the end Andres James signed for only 200 thousand dollars and suxx at beisbol------> http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=sa328845&position=SS

 

The point is ..... no matter how good you are at 16 years. You must develop your skills before called you "a good player MLB"

That BB:K ratio is fap worthy.

I think the point is never let your father be your agent.

Do you actually even know the names of any other 16 year olds to compare to him? Cause I don't.

 

No peeking

Moral of the story: don't trust 5'9", 150 lb Mexicans that tell you they turned down 3 million dollars once.

He's extremely young but he has absolutely no instincts for fielding, it's like all he ever practiced was hitting. I'm not confident he'll be anything more than a LF, DH guy if he gets to the show but again he is really young so maybe he'll grow into a position.

Nah. He's a chubby boy, maybe if he changes his body ala Roberto Osuna

Calgarian boy Mike Soroka looks like a stud pitching prospect. Dominating A ball at 18 years old. Too bad the Braves picked him one spot in front of us taking Harris. Obviously we may not have taken him but still.

I like that the Braves aren't afraid to put an 18 year old in full season ball. The Jays used to do that if the kids deserved it. Now it seems to be lots of short season ball first.

No Devon Travis at Extended Spring game vs Canadian Nationals but ran into this guy. Love the Rock.

[burlingtonbandit]

Pompey pulled from tonights game with a foot injury. Loos like the same turf toe injury he had earlier.

Angel Perdomo with a game so far for Lansing:

 

5 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 9 K

Suriel dealing too

Proof that Pentecost does exist. Hit a sharp single the only at bat I saw.Says that he's feeling great..big kid with a quick bat.

[burlingtonbandit]

Did he strain his shoulder posing for the pic?

[King]

He's alive

You're in f***ing good shape.

[Maahfaace]

You're in f***ing good shape.

 

He's not a goat Ang, move along with your lame pick-up attempt.

[Cyborg]

You're in f***ing good shape.

 

Do you actually mean "good f***ing shape"?

[Cyborg]

So Perdomo is definitely top 10 in our org now after his start I think.

One start shouldn't move anyone anywhere. Let's see what he does over a dozen or so starts.

[John_Havok]

You're probably right, but when you look at the depth chart in the minors right now, anything from like 6 or 7 through 30 is pretty fluid.

Three games. And ya its pretty barren after 7 or 8 that it could really be anyone.

Think he can catch a knuckleball? If so, I say just call him up to Toronto.

[spats]

Thanks Ang but I'm the 72 year old on the left sucking in his gut.
