Official MiLB/Prospects Thread

[Jimcanuck]

Leonardo Jimenez definitely deserves some hype. And Hiraldo needs to get out of DSL soon. Unless he has visa issues, he should be in GCL with Conine and Brodt migrating to Vancouver.

 

All three of Groshans, Hiraldo, and Jimenez were drafted as SS, but none of them are expected to stick. Actually all three are more likely 3B/2B or corner OF.

 

Orelvis Martinez may join this mix soon.

 

The organization is deep in infield and thin at pitching.

 

Favouring position player prospects is not a bad play, with the intent to sign some Happ types to 3 yr deals, or trade for close to MLB pitching prospects that have demonstrated durability / no loss of velocity.

 

Risk management approach.

[Laika]

Groshans just homered again.

 

I love how these baby leagues play games at like 9 AM

[John_Havok]

He's in the DSL.

 

Yeah, had him and Jimenez up on my screen at the same time and got teh stats combined in my head.

 

Who can tell these guys apart anyways

[Krylian]

All these Mexicans are the same

[P2F]

He added a single and two walks. The incredibly SSS returns have been solid.

[Krylian]

C - Jansen

1B - Vladdy

2B - Bichette

3B - Groshans

SS - Orelvis

 

Super Utility - K. Smith

[Pendleton]

If the rain holds off for the next hour or so, I'm going to be heading over to watch the PawSox vs SkyChiefs. I can't think of any really exciting prospects who would be playing but should be pretty neat either way.

[Pendleton]

Well I forgot about one of my quality LoD relievers Bobby Poyner, that stud will be in the lineup.

[Pendleton]

Gotta love when you can walk up during the national anthem and buy a seat behind home plate for $15

[Pendleton]

There are Beatles themed fireworks after the game, hopeful Yellow Submarine on repeat

[Pendleton]

Damn I thought I was getting a brawl, benches and bullpens cleared but everyone just stood there.

Sounds like a Jays mid -week game.

Wow

First minor league baseball experience was amazing, what a great atmosphere.

Spring-training inter-league squad games are even better. Like 50 Jays just walking around/sitting in the stands chatting with randoms and they are free!

Peter Alonso hit three homers today for the AAA Mets, giving him 18 now on the season. I wonder if this guy is more A.J. Reed or Rhys Hoskins.

Geez... nice pick up regardless, you swine.

 

TIL Eloy Jimenez has been promoted to AAA, and FTJ keeps swinging it.

Thanks! I can't wait to see what Alonso does in the majors. I don't know how long of a leash Dominic Smith has, but I hope we see Alonso in the majors this season.

 

Man, there are so many exciting prospects knocking on the door right now. Francisco Mejia is swinging a smokin' hot stick over the past month as well.

Three pitchers combined for 8.2 innings of perfect baseball in Bluefield today before Matt Harris gave up a HR on the last out

[Krylian]

Groshans goes 2-for-3 with a double, then gets pulled for a pinch runner. Too early to be thinking promotion?

It's possible? Maybe they bump him to Bluefield or Vancouver to be with Conine? I bet in all depends on where Kloff goes. I see us trying to keep them together like Bo and Vlad.

how many games has he played? 4? Probably wherever he'll get the most AB's is where he'll play

[Jonn]

Its a small sample size but its still nice to see him off to a blazing hot start. Just means theirs a legit chance he will end up in Vancouver or Bluefield before long and well on his way to opening 2019 in full season ball.

Ryan Noda gets hitter of the week honours for The Midwest league last week per MILB

 

.438/.500/1.125, 4 G, 7-for-16, 3 2B, 1 3B, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 4 R, 2 BB, 4 K

 

 

Borucki was named International League pitcher of the week for his efforts also:

 

1-0, 0.00 ERA, 1 G, 1 GS, 1 SHO, 7 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K

Would be fantastic if we get Grosh, Kloff, Conine, and Pardinho in Lansing to start 2019. And hopefully the lot of them move up to Dunedin to finish said hypothetical season as well.

Borucki's K-rate has dropped from nearly 9 last season to 6 this season. I wonder if there is cause for concern?

[Ray]

Noda's June has been insane: .410/.472/.951 with 9 HR

 

That .951 is his SLG, not OPS btw. His June OPS is 1.423.

 

Needs to be moved up to High-A.

[Slade]

Kloff going to GCL, would be surprised if Groshans promoted after 6 games.

You could see Hiraldo or Jimenez there as well depending on how they finish the season and show in minor league spring training.

Oh, has that been confirmed for Kloff? Thanks.

That would be amazing.
