you want to teach our young guns lack of plate discipline?

 

Vlad Sr. had a career walk rate of 8.1%, with multiple seasons above 10%, striking out at a lower rate than that in multiple of those. So yeah I wouldn't mind a borderline HOF talent giving advice to lower level prospects.

He can't teach because he didn't know how he was doing it when he was doing it. Pure natural born talent, they make the worst coaches.

[Grant77]

You mean like Fred Clarke and Joe Torre? Let's judge coaches on their merits and not make generalizations, shall we?

[burlingtonbandit]

Vlad not being able to speak english is the biggest obstacle to him being a coach for an org. Guys who have made that much money in their careers typically don't want to coach anyways.

Are Vlady Jr, Espada, and Jose the only real prospects on the team or are there others?

Define "real prospect"

[King]

Hansel Rodriguez is a real prospect. So is Reggie Pruitt.

Decent potential to be an above average contributor in the majors at some point.

Thanks. Anyone else? Just want to know who to follow in that group mostly.

We gave a decent sized bonus to Kyle Weatherly.

Olivares and Hansel. Pruitt has a high ceiling too.

KK thanks King. Is there any type of feed available to follow tonight's game? I don't see a Gameday tracker on MiLB for it and the Home radio feed seems to require a login?

Can't find one, I'm having the same problem with the radio feed requiring a login.

Try this and let me know if it works. It doesn't work for me, though. http://v6.player.abacast.net/1808

Thanks King. The audio doesn't seem to be working yet, but hopefully the game hasn't started yet?

This is more difficult than it should be.

Yeah, it shouldn't be this difficult at all lol.

Why couldn't you put Vlad Jr in Buffalo? Is it because he would develop bad habits? Have his confidence destroyed as he struggles to adjust? If Vlad Jr is to take 2000 or so ABs in the minors, would he be better at the end spreading them out over 5 different levels or would he be better right from the start taking reps from pitchers as close to MLB level as possible. I'm not advocating it. But I'm trying to figure out why it would be wrong.

Vlad Guerrero's first pro AB: 6-3.

 

 

Bust

Just found this. There's music playing right now, but it could be a commercial?

Isn't this like the 18th post you've made about this

That's from Alberta.

18 seems a little light he's been searching for answers to that question for years.

No reason to rush him. I thought he had a chance to start at Vancouver, but Buffalo? No way he is ready for AAA, he most likely has never faced AAA pitching talent. Risk of destroying his confidence.

 

He will move quickly if he crushes the opposition.

Greg Johns ‏@GregJohnsMLB 18m18 minutes ago

Mariners outfielder Boog Powell, one of top AAA position prospects, suspended 80 games for PEDs.

 

rip

 

[Jimcanuck]

Severino is 19, isn't he automatically a 'real prospect' at that age/level

[43211234]

Don't forget blue chip prospect Matt Morgan.
