Orlevis HR

[BlueRocky]

[Benito]

Sem Robberse also pitching well in that game. Looks like he really limits HRs, and overall numbers look promising. Plus he's young. How good a prospect is he?

[Ray]

Sem Robberse tonight: 7IP, 4H, 1ER, 1BB, 5K

 

Kevin Smith between a double header: 4-for-6, 2 doubles, 1BB. Now slashing .302/.391/.611 in AAA.

[Eat My Shatkins]

Man, Kevin Smith needs to get a chance up with the big club.

Ridiculously good vs his signing bonus but he probably needs to continue to add velocity to profile as a possibly decent MLB SP

He was sitting 91-93 in today’s outing, so he’s already made progress in that front. He was sitting 87-88 when he was first signed: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/gamefeed?date=7/29/2021&gamePk=648824&chartType=pitch&legendType=pitchName&playerType=pitcher&inning=&count=&pitchHand=&batSide=&descFilter=&ptFilter=&resultFilter=&hf=pitchVelocity

 

Andrew Tinnish went on record saying that Sem Robberse had one of the best deliveries he’s ever scouted in his career among amateurs. High praise. I’ve been excited for him ever since.

[John Balkabella]

Fun factoid re Kevin Smith.

 

Over half his hits this year have gone for extra bases. 76 hits, 18 doubles, 3 triples, and 18 taters.

[Krylian]

Aside from his K #'s, Van Eyk really hasn't been good. Poor command and getting hit around.

[Ray]

Kevin Smith since June 1st: .331/.420/.657, 13.7 BB%, 20.7 K%, 178 wRC+

 

Video game numbers.

Still not even as good as Vlad's season numbers... in MLB... as a 22 year old

I wonder if the development of Smith this year contributed to the Jays being okay letting Martin go?

[InvincibleTiger]

So what's our new consensus top 10 with the departures of Martin and SWR?

 

Moreno

Pearson

Manoah

Martinez

Groshans

Kirk

Based on Pipeline, Leo Jimenez and Estiven Machado move to 9 & 10.

Manoah and Kirk are still prospects right

Everyone categorizes differently. For me, as long as they haven't passed that rookie threshold (50IP for pitchers, 150ABs for position players) I consider them eligible in my own mind.

[max silver]

Smith should easily be in the top 10 with the massive showing in AAA.

Van Eyk has struggled but he's probably at the tail end of that list. Maybe Otto Lopez?

[Laika]

The thing about prospects is you get new ones every summer. They are like vegetables.

Probably Kevin Smith in the top 10 again. He's only 25 in AAA and dominating, so I'd say he's regained his prospect status.

Kloffenstein is likely in the mix, same with Otto Lopez. Patrick Murphy might be a thing again now that he has recovered from his old delivery literally being a balk every time

[KevinGregg]

yeah, martin is a stud in the making. He's still no.1 jays' prospect for me.

 

rip

[Benito]

I don't know what this means. Yeah I was higher on Martin than most. So what?

[Slade]

Probably something like this. Assuming Manoah and Kirk come off this list add Van Eyk and Pardinho.

 

1. Moreno

2. Pearson

3. Monoah

4. Kirk

5. Groshan

6. Martinez

7. Hoglund

8. Smith

9. Hiraldo

10. Lopez

I view 2-6 as one tier. Surprised you have Martinez at the bottom of those guys, though.

Mostly cause he's just further away. Everyone above him can be impact guys as early as next season while he's 2+ years out barring exponential growth.

[vaff]

I have a feeling the Jays value Otto Lopez higher than we realize.

[jaysguy44]

Agreed

[Ray]

I have a feeling the Jays value Otto Lopez higher than we realize.

 

I was surprised when they protected him this offseason from the Rule 5. Didn’t think a guy who last played in A-ball would get claimed, but evidently they thought he would. Must’ve really liked what they say out of him from the alt-site.
