Jays make an appearance on BA Hot sheet today

 

 

14. Riley Adams, C, Blue Jays

Team: High Class A Dunedin (Florida State)

Age: 22

Why He’s Here: .643/.688/.857 (9-for-14), 5 R, 3 2B, 3 RBIs, 2 BB, 2 SO, 2-for-2 SB

 

The Scoop: Riley carried a reputation as an offensive catcher with questionable defense coming out of last year’s draft, but he’s largely struggled at the plate his first full season. He gave a glimpse of what he can do at his best last week, recording a hit in four straight games and finishing with a 3-for-3 effort on Sunday. Adams has remained behind the plate all year—and encouraging sign not everyone thought was likely—and his latest offensive surge is another mark in his favor as we reach the end of the season. (KG)

Anyone heard anything on Foley? He was sent down last Monday, but hasn't started in Buffalo yet, 7 days later.

 

Maybe they are giving him the full 10 days to work on things before making getting called up to make his next start? Not sure.

Sounds like a possibility especially given the MiLB season ends soon

[P2F]

It's Luis Urias time.

[jays4life19]

My boner is ready.

[Orgfiller]

It's Luis Urias time.

 

But why? I know he's no Vlad but for an awful team who gave Eric Hosmer his contract they could use another year of control on a promising prospect.

[P2F]

My boner is ready.

 

Your Mexican chimichanga fiesta boner.

Your Mexican chimichanga fiesta boner.

 

The only kind of boner that I know

I guess the Padres wanted their fans to have their cake and eat it too.

Did Gore actually strike someone out

Kevin Smith 2-4 with a dinger

 

Spanberger 3-4 with a dinger

That's racist.

Anyone else notice Austin Meadows has taken off since being traded to Tampa?

 

.307 / .354 / .659 179 wRC+ 7.3% BB / 12.5% K in 96 PA's. Only a .286 BABIP

[TheHurl]

That's racist.

 

I didn't want to include Arismendy Alcantara and remind all those that said he should be getting full time reps over Javier Baez.

Tampa is the cure all for broken prospects. It's usually more of a band-aid though.

[Krylian]

That's racist.

 

Beaners are people too.

Isn't that what Tampa does?

Eloy Jimanez is destroying AAA: .378/.419/.628 with 11 HR in 49 games with a 12.3% k rate.

 

Steamer is projecting him to have a 130 wRC+

Eloy and Vlad are both suffering from "Myteamsuckssotheywontcallmeupsotheydontstartmyserviceclockeventhoughitsobviousishouldbeinthemajors-itis"

Cal Stevenson is an on base machine.. 2-3 with two walks and four stolen bases (20, 1cs) tonight.

 

OPS in Bluefield is a bit over 1.000

 

50BB 20K

 

 

28RBI, 60R , 66H in 51 games out of the lead off spot. RBI's circumstantial obviously, but still impressive.

 

What's impressive is that he's not just slap hitting his way on base with a SLG% over .500

 

He turns 22 next month. Next year in Lansing/Dunedin is going to be a big year for him.

He's 21 in Rk ball... nice to see, but these type of guys need to do it in better age appropriate competition.

Yup, that's why next year will be telling for him if he's promoted to Dunedin at some point.

 

He just hit a line drive double to RF in his last AB (3-4 2BB).

I'm just saying tamper expectations, mate. He'd have to move quick, if he's real.

a 2.6 BB to K ratio is impressive no matter what. Noda was 21 in the Appy last year and he's now stepped up to be a legit interesting guy. Stevenson is doing it with similar discipline skills but no where near the same raw power. However no one seems to be able to strike this guy out (in NCAA, the Cape or CC it's been the same 2 to 1 BB to K's). I actually agree with Gruber a bit here...an impressive showing in Lansing puts this guy in really interesting category, considering he's said to be athletic he might provide some D too.

I agreed it was impressive you dolt... see how she goes, meat.

Very intelligent response Spanky. I agree, let’s not discuss anything on this message board and just see how she goes.
