Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 So, has there been any thought in the org about signing Dante Jr.? He just inked a deal w/ an independent team, but is he worth taking a risk on to see if we could develop something?

LGBJ29 Verified Member Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Congrats to Acuna, the second best prospect in baseball, on his call-up to the majors
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Acuna is overrated. He's going to K at like 25% with less power than the hype expects, and the SB won't be there.
Brownie19 Old-Timey Member Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Acuna getting called up Vlady is now officially the best prospect in baseball.
devo Verified Member Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Vlad gets a 40/65 hit tool lol How can they possibly justify giving Vladdy a 40 PV hit tool but Reese McGuire a 45 PV hit tool??
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 lol, that's pretty hilarious. Reported 2018 so its not some old ranking.
Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 How can they possibly justify giving Vladdy a 40 PV hit tool but Reese McGuire a 45 PV hit tool?? The whole article is a trainwreck.
Jonn Old-Timey Member Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 I’m actually a little surprised the Braves made this move now. Hes hit better over the last 7 days but you would think they would wait until he had some sustained success. I guess they have some pressure to put some asses in the seats. And the fan base was pissed he didn’t make the opening day roster.

Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Another excellent start for 21 yr old Michael Kopech in AAA. Through 4 starts, 21 IP, 7 BB, 29 K, 2.14 ERA Next Verlander, J4L19!
Orgfiller Old-Timey Member Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Acuna is overrated. He's going to K at like 25% with less power than the hype expects, and the SB won't be there. Like, a 25% K rate is his current projection lol. If he can do that at 20 years old I think the Braves will feel pretty good about themselves.
Ray Verified Member Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Vlad 3-4 tonight. Now batting .353 in AA.
John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Vlad 3-4 tonight. Now batting .353 in AA. Can't be. He's a 40 hit tool
ColdPint Verified Member Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Vlad 3-4 tonight. Now batting .353 in AA. What convergence of circumstances see Vladdy with the Jays prior to September? Can he simply hit his way on to the roster and force the hand of the FO?
Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 What convergence of circumstances see Vladdy with the Jays prior to September? Can he simply hit his way on to the roster and force the hand of the FO? No, not really.... They don't NEED him on this team right now. If Donaldson is done for the season, then maybe Vladdy shows up. But that's about the only reason where they NEED him
Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 too early to bring the kid up anyway.... he could very well struggle against MLB pitching. let him get his MiLB seasoning and reduce the risk of having to send him back down after bringing him up. cup of coffee in Sept, sure

Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 That bat is MLB ready right now. Been said about many prospects, and turned out to be wrong. Jays are not going to bring up a franchise player unless they are sure he is ready. It would be good to see how Vladdy fares against AAA pitchers. AA pitchers don't necessarily have a multi pitch arsenal, command, or quality secondaries. A lot of AAA pitchers do.

Vlady isn't your everyday prospect and should not be grouped in with traditional prospects.
Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Vlady isn't your everyday prospect and should not be grouped in with traditional prospects. Oh come on lol I get the ridiculous K and BB rate is unprecedented. But there have been plenty of so called can't miss prospects that missed. All I am saying is there is risk in bringing up Vlad prior to September cup of coffee time. Not to mention starting the time clock early.
jaysfan2014 Old-Timey Member Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 It's getting to the point it's time to consider promoting Vlad Jr. to Buffalo--he has absolutely dominated AA. He's way too advanced for the level.

tercet Verified Member Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Is JimCanuck hacked or what? He has been a notorious fan boy stating that numerous numbers of Jays prospects will be studs iregardless of the stats. Now he says Guerrero is a bust? Wat

He has been a notorious fan boy stating that numerous numbers of Jays prospects will be studs iregardless of the stats. Now he says Guerrero is a bust? Wat Not what I am saying. The risk is he gets called up early (and being called up before September would be early), struggles, and has to be sent back down. MLB pitching >>>> AA pitching. I have no doubt he will be an elite MLB'er.
Orgfiller Old-Timey Member Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Acuna is overrated. He's going to K at like 25% with less power than the hype expects, and the SB won't be there. You sure the power isn't properly hyped? https://www.mlb.com/video/acuna-jrs-first-career-hr/c-1978037883
