He's beautiful. There goes that idea.

[Boxcar]

Wow, I dunno what it is exactly but I f***ing hate Gore's mechanics.

A little herky jerky. That hands above the head business has got to go.

[King]

Reminds me of Matt Boyd when he was in the minors with the Jays

We don't? No wonder this board has so little activity these days.

Wander Franco is currently doing better than what Vlad was doing at the same age in Appy league:

 

Vlad: .271/.359/.449 8HR through 62 games

 

Franco: .366/.427/.601 8HR through 46 games

 

.283 babip

 

.359 babip

Woof

 

Looks like we got Luis Medina after all

[glory]

Well more than half of his walks after the trade were in one start, so he hasn't been too bad. Last two outings have been encouraging at least. Shame he was limited to 3 innings because of Competitive Walks.

We're going to do the entire 40 man this year just to make Jim

Vlad with 3 hits tonight

Vlad with 3 hits tonight

 

Would be incredible if he finished the season red hot and managed to hit .400

[Brownie19]

Nick Madrigal has 128 PA's this year and has struck out 3 times.

And no dingers! Maybe he just goes up there and bunts every time.

[Dr. Dinger]

Nick Madrigal has 128 PA's this year and has struck out 3 times.

 

Who really cares if he has an .045 ISO? He'd be better off striking out 10% of the time and actually doing some damage to the ball when he makes contact.

Oh - I never suggested it was a good thing. It's just a crazy stat.

[Orgfiller]

Nick Madrigal has 128 PA's this year and has struck out 3 times.

 

Fun fact: Tony Gwynn averaged 17.5 strikeouts per 537 PA between 1991 and 1996, never once cracking the 20 K benchmark.

Ichiro 2.0?

The Sox took Ben Revere on the dirt 4th overall

[jays4life19]

lol.

 

 

I am not on THE BOARD: Hello, I am a 23 year old OF prospect who is batting .296/.382/.444 in 112 games across AA and AAA this year. Some scouts have me at 65 run and 55 field. I don’t know how my power will play at the big league level, but I do have 41 XBH this year, including 10 homers. What more do I have to do to get on THE BOARD?

 

1:06

Kiley McDaniel: I feel like supplying the name would help

[43211234]

lol.

I figured it out! Jacob Robson of the Tigers (don't know what the D is like but seems like he could be a Dwight Smith JR type)

I would be concerned at the K rate without the pop(26% and .124 iso respectively at AAA, and also his .400+ babip. Some real red flags there

To be fair, he's produced a high BABIP pretty consistently for 3 years now. I think the odds are against him at the major league level, but it could be an interesting case study.

[Jonn]

Travis Bergen is looking like an interesting left-handed reliever at New Hampshire. His numbers have been stellar at both Dunedin and Double-A. I wouldn't be shocked if hes a guy that could be a potential out of nowhere add in September. Lots of strikeouts and very few walks. He's 24 but injuries really slowed down is progress. 7th round pick in 2015.

 

Fastball is 92-95, has a decent cuter, and his slider has some swing and miss movement. The report I read on him mentioned he also hides the ball well so he has some deception going for him as well.

[43211234]

When I was messing around on the minor league fangraphs leaderboards looking for the mystery player from Kiley McDaniel's chat, I ran across a few interesting tidbits.

 

Old friend Yuniesky Bethancourt is still around, playing in Mexico. He's flirting with .400 too! Only Vlad's .394 bests Yuniesky's .389 across the MiLB.

 

Blue Jays great, and player with an inexplicable 5-win season, Daric Barton is also in Mexico. He has a 211 wRC+ on a .333/.517/.586 slashline. It seems like he's content to let the Mexican League pitchers walk him. He's not exactly hitting for a ton of power so I doubt he parlays it into a major league comeback. Maybe he gets a spring invite for some team next season though. He's only just turned 33 a week ago.
