Nate is #1 on the BA HOT SHEEEEEEEEET

 

 

 

dicks out, boys

 

He should skip low A and begin next season at high A. I could see him promoted mid season to AA next year, kid is legit.

Of everyone with at least 50 PA at A+ in their age-18 season between 2006 and 2016, the best wRC+ is 117. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is currently at 174 in 173 plate appearances.

 

 

Jeff Sullivan

A teenager with power, and more walks than strikeouts. He's an absurdity

Can't get too aggressive with arms IMO. Especially with surgical histories.

 

Too much too fast and before you know it it's all cocaine and boats.

Tatis Jr. isn't far behind at 154 wRC+ in 518 PA's + 29 SB's as a shortstop. Unreal.

They'll likely want to build his innings up, which could take a few years. I doubt we'll see a really aggressive promotion schedule.

That's not at A+

[Spanky99]

Well, he was just promoted to AA, I'm intrigued to see how well he does.

He's certainly a stud, but it shouldn't take away from what Vlad Jr. has done. He makes my prospect boner tingle.

lol... I hear ya, but FTJ can't take away from what VJG has done, no one can.

Danny Jansen has gotten on base at least once all 14 games since being called up to AAA. I'm starting to let my inner hype build.

[Krylian]

This might be one of the most unique statistical profiles I've ever seen:

Guy doesn't walk or strikeout, really ever!

 

Tony Gwynn wasn't as blatant but for the calibre of player he was, his BB and K numbers were quite low too.

I remember this same kind of discussion with Jeff Hoffman and how everyone thought he'd rip through the system and own everyone.

 

They will not rush him at all. Just my opinion though.

How is that rushing him? Zeuch started in Dunedin in his first full season and he was nowhere near as dominant in his Vancouver assignment. Pearson just turned 21, he's really not that young despite being a JUCO.

Where they start him will depend on what they have him working on and how long it takes to do it. Chances are his fastball/curve combo could already play in bullpen on the majors but he needs to refine a 3rd pitch (likely his changeup) to at least an average level to be a starter.

 

Not sure if he's still throwing a slider or not, you don't see very many pitchers these days throwing both a curve and slider, usually they shelf one or the other

The most successful pitchers seem to throw both. He should as well. He'd be a monster.

Another good night for Reese McGuire: 2-for-4 with a home run

Whatever the adjustment was, whether its Jansen or McGuire, Jays have a ML starting catcher in the pipeline. With the other a more than capable backup.

 

Need a couple of prospect pitchers to elevate their game (or trade for them) and Jays are looking like a great young team by 2020 if not earlier.

Maybe rushing was the wrong word to use. My point is more that I don't want to see people starting to assume that he'll get to the show by ....insert date here....like was the case with Hoffman from many a fan. Kid has a very powerful arm. Not sure about the consistency of his secondary stuff yet. I hope he blows the doors off and rockets through the farm system and is in Toronto in short order, but I'm not expecting it.

Farm is definitely position player heavy right now. Not that that's a bad thing. Working out well for the Astros and Cubs.

 

Between SRF, Pannone, Zeuch, Harris, Borucki and Greene, one or two of them has to pan out to be a capable starter. Maybe not an ace, but a mid-bottom of the rotation type.

You've never been right, why would you do this to the Jays' future?!

Don't forget Nate Pearson. He could have the most potential out of anyone.

Vlad hit his 2nd homerun of the game

 

Edit: Nevermind...MILB changed it on me....he actually hit a 3 run double
