two scouts this week offered the same opinion: By the end of the 2017 season, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is going to be the best prospect in baseball.

 

*2nd best to Bo

Another article from Fangraphs: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/blue-jays-prospect-bo-bichette-is-noisily-bashing-baseballs/

 

Lots of quotes fro Bo and Gil Kim

 

Bo:

"They talked to me after I was drafted, but that was mostly to feel out my thought process on my swing. The further along I’ve gotten, in instructs and so far this season, they literally haven’t talked to me about my swing, only about my approach.”

 

Kim:

Our intention is for him to develop as a shortstop — 100%. He’s getting reps at second base, but again, we trust in the athlete, and we trust in the instincts. Right now, he’s a shortstop.”

Hey, a Glenn Sparkman sighting in Dunedin. 3 Innings of 3 hit ball. I guess that means he will be on the big league roster soon to get his required time for the Rule V requirements.

I suspect that they will keep him down for the full length of his rehab stint.

Pentecost threw out two runners today.

Lol Marlins. Luis Castillo is turning into a real prospect in AA.

 

8.25 K/9, 1.35 BB/9, 3.00 ERA in 60 IP. xFIP was 3.13 coming into tonight's gem.

- He's been a real prospect for a couple years

- Straily is doing good

[TwistedLogic]

dick move on the step...but you will see some baseballs come flying across the scene. One of the bullpen guys came armed with baseballs. I'd throw the f***er out of baseball.

 

 

Jesus. 23 second mark. Guy in blue backwards hat and blue shirt at top right of the picture does his hardest 100% pull-down throw at a dude 8 feet in front of him and hits him square in the thigh.

 

Geezus. Stepping on the leg like that was clearly on purpose and ridiculous. The ump should have done something about that right then and there. The guy who stepped on the leg was then shoving a coach. He should get a lengthy suspension. The guy who had his leg stepped on should get a short suspension. The guy firing baseballs should get suspended for the rest of the season.

 

The guy chucking baseballs could have killed someone. That makes him the worst offender and that shouldn't be up for debate. No amount of dickish behaviour on the part of the opponents justifies thats. You're going to encouter *******s in life. If you can't deal with them without putting lives in danger, you're a straight up menace to society.

 

Absolutely, a baseball fired at close range with intent, by a pitcher...incredibly dangerous, nothing else that happened in that clip really comes close. Disgusting behavior, none of the other 50 odd players felt the need to grab a weapon.

 

Lunatic got a 30 game suspension.

Seriously, though: Wilmer Font.

How did we lose him?

 

Edit: Signed as a FA Dec '16... wonder if AA's fingerprints are on that.

[P2F]

How did we lose him?

Signed a minor league deal with the Dodgers.

 

6 IP, 2 H, 1 BB, 10 K tonight.

 

That gives him 88 K and only 13 BB in 59 IP at AAA so far. xFIP is well under 3 after tonight.

Yeah just looked it up, on roster resource, AA move?

[John_Havok]

Anyone know anything about Chris Rowley and what his repertoire is?

 

Age/level sucks but he had to take 2 years off for army service after going to West Point. Seems like he's missing bats and doesn't walk a bunch of guys either. Maybe a future pen arm?

[P2F]

Hard to say, really. It's definitely possible.

[THANOS]

Foley spinning a gem so far.

 

5IP, 4H, 0R, 0BB, 8K

[ColdPint]

Jesus, Bichette already 2 for 2 tonight and hitting .385 on the season.

 

Vladdy's also 2 for 2 but only hitting a paltry .335.

[THANOS]

Foley spinning a gem so far.

 

5IP, 4H, 0R, 0BB, 8K

 

Final line:

 

6IP, 5H, 0R, 0BB, 8K, 5GO

[Sorrow]

Apparently Bitchette Jr and Vlad Jr both singled, then did a double steal.

[Stoneyen]

Bo 4-4 2B, 3B, two 1B. And a steal

[ColdPint]

.392

 

Bradley Jones was promoted to Dunedin by the way.

[Stoneyen]

[metafour]

f***, 4 for 4 means that Bichette's BABIP is going to rise after this game. Bad news guys.

[THANOS]

Bo 4-4 2B, 3B, two 1B. And a steal

 

Bo and Vlad better be next.

[Caper]

Ugghhh. That's a terrible sign for his development.

[John_Havok]

SRF with a great start

[Caper]

Even if there are some prospects not performing up to expectations I would think the Bluejays would have to be close to hitting top 10 farm systems, No?

[Spanky99]

.392

 

Bradley Jones was promoted to Dunedin by the way.

 

Yes.

[Spanky99]

Depends what they do with Gurriel.

[Angrioter]

I drafted Bo Bichette BBDL ☺
