Are these two players the jays signed on wednesday

Pedro Ventura and Anthony Rodriguez here for good

or just until the end of the dsl season. Are a little old

but down there.

 

Hi Todd.

 

Seeing as they are 21 and 22 year olds in the DSL, I would say that they are only here as injury/call up fill ins for the remainder of the season. Hiraldo was recently promoted to the GCL and maybe they needed infield depth.

Lazaro Estrada today: 6IP 3H 1ER 1BB 10K. Drops his season ERA to 1.94

 

Anyone got a scouting report on this kid? He's 19 in the DSL so a bit older for the level. 5'10 and 180 lbs. He's dealing this season so far though.

Wow! Just saw what Bryse Wilson did last night. Dude went 8IP of 1 hit ball, struck out 13 and walked nobody ... as a 20 y/o in AAA.

 

What a stud.

Biggio with 26 HR's on the year. Outside shot of 30 home runs and 100 walks (most likely will fall short though). Man he became a prospect and real interesting player overnight. High performance department legit.

Kids, here you can see some real big league swing mechanics and easy plus power.

 

 

The weight transfer and bat path are fantastic. He looks like Cody f***ing Bellinger. I'm all in on Biggio now.

It may appear like he's inherited his father's strike zone awareness. Late bloomer that's still blooming, going to be interesting.

Looks like a 30% K rate in the majors.

 

Also looks like a 15% BB in the majors. Don't you try and ruin my fap sesh!

He has a particular JPA vibe to him but with a walk rate...... I am not sure what to make of it. Seems to be a lot of holes in his swing but can lay off pitches.

I do like Biggio's swing. Simple, yet powerful. Have there been any reports on his defense improving? Is he still fringe at 2nd and 3rd? I still think he ends up like Kelly Johnson.

You can kind of form a stat-scout opinion of a player's profile based on their combination of three things: BB%, K%, and Power.

 

High Power with High K% and Low BB% = probably a HACKER (JPA, Teoscar, etc.); probably won't work in MLB long-term.

 

High BB% with Normal/High K% and Low Power = maybe a good eye, but possibly too passive OR no real pop; won't really work in MLB long-term.

 

Low/Normal BB%, Low/Normal K%, Low Power = probably a HACKER MIF type with good contact skills but no pop; could work if they have defensive value. Kevin Pillar type hitters.

 

High Power, High K%, High BB% = maybe a good eye and the K% is a calculated part of the approach to hit for power? This profile seems to work out a lot more often than people realize, these days. This is Biggio.

 

High Power, Low K%, High BB% = uber-prospect. Bet everything on them (Vlad!)

 

And of course there is everything in between and an infinite number of actual profiles...

I have no idea how a guy with a 18.5 BB% would give you any JPA vibe. Biggio has walked more this year in AA than JPA walked in his entire major league career...

The levels that people will go to to convince themselves that Biggio isn't good is getting pretty ridiculous.

 

High power, high walk, high strikeout guys absolutely work in the MLB. To compare a guy who has historically shown an elite ability to get on base (it was his only plus tool prior to his power surge) to f***ing JP Arencibia is mind blowingly stupid analysis. Arencibia had a career 4.8% walk rate in the minors, worse than Kevin Pillar: the guy who can go on month long stretches wherein he doesn't draw a walk.

I think he's approaching Bichette status...maybe even better.

Come on dude he’s 3 years older. Biggio looks like he could definitely be a player, but to say he’s a better prospect than Bichette is ridiculous.

Bichette is 3 years younger and by all accounts is a legitimate shortstop. I'm excited about Biggio as well but value wise they are several tiers apart.

Agreed, but he's underrated.

He's on everyone's radar now, but I think many want to see this for more than just one season before moving him into the top 5

Sure, but he CAN play 2nd base... :P
