vilifyingforce Verified Member Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 What do you think of these players for september call ups Ryan Goins Jesus Montero Dalton Pompey Aaron Loup Mike Bolsinger Matt Dominguez Who do we DFA for Montero?
Cyborg Verified Member Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Who do we DFA for Montero? Dragmire or Colabello. He forgot Barnes who will surely be up as well.
Pendleton Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 What do you think of these players for september call ups Ryan Goins Jesus Montero Dalton Pompey Aaron Loup Mike Bolsinger Matt Dominguez All seem pretty likely, Barnes as well. Ditch someone like Dragmire as mentioned to make room on the 40 if needed.
Frenchsoup Verified Member Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 All seem pretty likely, Barnes as well. Ditch someone like Dragmire as mentioned to make room on the 40 if needed. I wouldn't give up on Drag, he is a healthy arm right?
King Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 I wouldn't give up on Drag, he is a healthy arm right? He probably goes unclaimed anyway
Pendleton Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 I wouldn't give up on Drag, he is a healthy arm right? Health doesn't do us much good if he's going to get tagged. He isn't someone we would miss, and may not even get claimed. I don't see pitching depth as a concern right now anyway, we have six starters and some other good options on the farm.
King Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Walligator: Rowdy Tellez is up to .295/.387/.499 after a brutal start to the season. He is walking almost 13% of the time, while only striking out 18% (with 16 homers to boot). He is just 21 years young. While he undoubtedly has a “bad body”, and is likely to be a DH, is there nothing to like in his profile, given his age and inexperience at the level? Admittedly, I’ve only scouted his stat line–is he someone that you have to watch in person to pick out his flaws? I believe you said he has a long swing or one that can’t handle high velocity…is there any way he can make it work? His slash line at his age just seems excellent, and I would think some AA pitchers can hit the mid to high 90’s…does Rowdy have a chance at a big league future? Klaw: New Hampshire’s a good place for LH power – remember Eric Thames – and no, he’s not facing mid- to high-90s that often. I think good pitching will eat Tellez alive, like it did in the AFL.

I think good pitching will eat Tellez alive, like it did in the AFL. Hum... KLaw disses him. Promising.
King Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Hum... KLaw disses him. Promising. He's been on it for a few months now.
SpeedyGose Verified Member Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Hum... KLaw disses him. Promising. Exact same question was asked in the BP chat with Crawford. He wasn't quite as doom and gloom but did say his ceiling is an average DH because the no glove bad body type almost never works out (and that he hopes he is wrong).
King Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 I was wondering what happened that made Keith think Tellez can't hit advanced pitching but now we know. Tellez struckout against a pitcher throwing heat in the Arizona Fall League while Keith Law was in attendance, and now he's tripling down on this opinion.
nmrch Verified Member Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 For a relatively smart guy Law says some incredibly dumb things. The reason to be skpetical of Thames in NH at the time was because of his age and advanced experience, not because of it being friendly to LHH, after all Thames mashed in Vegas and we know the things he's doing in Korea. Tellez OTOH is putting up one of the best age relative hitting seasons ever in the Eastern League. I don't see how a 23 1/2 yo hitter out of college is even remotely comparable to a 21 yo out of high school, statistically or using more subjective measures.

Tellez struckout against a pitcher throwing heat in the Arizona Fall League while Keith Law was in attendance, and now he's tripling down on this opinion. This is KLaw's m.o. to at T. If the guy wasn't so full of himself he might actually stop repeating this mistake. The self defeating arrogance is stunning.
43211234 Verified Member Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Tellez went .293/.352/.488 (127 wRC+) in the AFL
John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/max-pentecost-a-jays-prospect-shoulders-multiple-surgeries/ Nice read on Pentecost. Also confirms he is going up to Dunedin as soon as his current injury has subsided
Jonn Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Tellez went .293/.352/.488 (127 wRC+) in the AFL Wow he's complete and utter garbage. Was that at 20 years old as well. Washed up.
King Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Wow he's complete and utter garbage. Was that at 20 years old as well. Washed up. He was eaten alive.
Pendleton Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Tellez went .293/.352/.488 (127 wRC+) in the AFL Out almost 65% of the time? Garbage prospect
vilifyingforce Verified Member Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Dragmire or Colabello. He forgot Barnes who will surely be up as well. I was asking todd.
sawyerford Verified Member Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 So who will be the better catcher in the future McGuire or Pentecost?
