Spanky__99 Old-Timey Member Posted September 22, 2023 Posted September 22, 2023 Guys playing in the AFL, no announcements on the DWL, but that doesn't happen till late fall, a lot of guys that will be overseas...
Laika Community Moderator Posted September 22, 2023 Posted September 22, 2023 Tiedemann is a huge name for the AFL. Don't normally see SP prospects ranked as highly as him head out there. But he needs innings.
RustyTrombone Verified Member Posted September 22, 2023 Posted September 22, 2023 Tiedemann is supposed to go up to 80 pitches in his AAA debut this weekend. Wonder if that means he will also stay stretched out for his AFL stint.

Wonder if that means he will also stay stretched out for his AFL stint. For sure, at least around that number as they'll want him on a full schedule next season.
metafour Verified Member Posted September 22, 2023 Posted September 22, 2023 Watch Tiedemann now! He's having a great start, with Jackson Holliday being on the opposing team: https://www.mlb.com/bluejays/news/watch-minor-league-baseball-games-for-free?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage
John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted September 22, 2023 Posted September 22, 2023 Watch Tiedemann now! He's having a great start, with Jackson Holliday being on the opposing team: https://www.mlb.com/bluejays/news/watch-minor-league-baseball-games-for-free?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage Very cool. Just watched Barger challenge a called strike correctly, then rip a 2 RBI double. Missed Tiedeman though, Cimber is in now.
John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted September 22, 2023 Posted September 22, 2023 Cimber just ate Holliday alive for a strikeout. Tiedemann also struck Holliday out earlier in the game. Holliday = bust
Jonn Old-Timey Member Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Guys playing in the AFL, no announcements on the DWL, but that doesn't happen till late fall, a lot of guys that will be overseas... Seems like were sending more players than normal. Is their cap on how many players you can send?

metafour Verified Member Posted September 29, 2023 Posted September 29, 2023 I don't know if we've talked about this yet, but word has circulated the past day or so about the Jays signing Venezuelan SS Kennew Blanco in the January IFA window. There was apparently some confusion as to whether he was a 2024 or 2025 guy, but it looks like he's been confirmed for 2024. Kiley McDaniel named his as one of the Top 3 IFA kids and among the best 2007 DOB players identified in this article from May. MLB Pipeline just released a scouting video two days ago: https://www.mlb.com/video/top-int-l-prospects-blanco-ss?t=mlb-pipeline MLB Pipeline just released their 2024 Top 50 IFA list. Kennew Blanco ranks at #9 overall and is now listed as 6'2 160 pounds. Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 50 | Run: 55 | Arm: 50 | Field: 55 | Overall: 55
John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted September 29, 2023 Posted September 29, 2023 6'2, 160 ... he could grow into some serious muscle over the next few years.
Laika Community Moderator Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Tiedemann 5 IP, 7 Ks, 3 BB, 3 H, 1 R 77 pitches longest outing of his season twitter scouts say he was touching 96 and throwing lots of sweepers he faced at least two elite hitting prospects I can see in Chase DeLauter and Kyle Manzardo.
Laika Community Moderator Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 If Tiedemann can somehow f***ing stay healthy he could and should make the team next year. I don't know what they would do with his innings but that's just a maybe problem you figure out if it ever happens.

I don't know what they would do with his innings but that's just a maybe problem you figure out if it ever happens. Talent wise... maybe but he'd have to get to near 100 inning this season if they truly thought he could pitch in the rotation next season no? Even with a few more starts in the AFL he'll be lucky to top 70. I suppose it would be doable with a dedicated piggyback kind of situation but next season his max would be 100-110 at the upper limit.

I dunno, maybe 120 or 130. But so what if he gets there and they decide to shut him down? Use the bullets in MLB. His stuff is MLB ready.

His stuff is MLB ready. Id still like to see the walks get under more control. 5.6 BB/9 at AA this season. I have some doubts that he would survive at the MLB level right away. Stuff is nasty no doubt but the control of that stuff is not there yet IMO
Eat My Shatkins Verified Member Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Sure hope he doesn't turn into a left handed Pearson because of control issues.
Krylian Old-Timey Member Posted October 4, 2023 Author Posted October 4, 2023 Sure hope he doesn't turn into a left handed Pearson because of control issues. He hasn't been a poster boy of health either.

Ive only seen him throw once so I can't match up the eye test with the data yet Edited October 10, 2023 by John_Havok
Laika Community Moderator Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 Tiedemann had his second AFL start and is killing it. Top pitcher in the league so far. Total stats: 10 IP, 13 Ks, 4 BBs, 1 HR. 2.70 ERA, 0.90 WHIP.
Sorrow Verified Member Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 Tiedemann had his second AFL start and is killing it. Top pitcher in the league so far. Total stats: 10 IP, 13 Ks, 4 BBs, 1 HR. 2.70 ERA, 0.90 WHIP. It's worth noting as well that the AFL presently has a higher run scoring number than AAA did I think the average ERA is something like 5.6
Terminator Old-Timey Member Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 A lot of you know more about our minor league system than I do so what is the final verdict on the MILB system for 2023? Top 15 -Tiedeman and Orelvis both took steps closer to the big leagues and I think that helps a lot. -Leo Jimenez advanced to AAA and Kasevich seemed to maintain his status. -But a lot of Top 15 guys spun their wheels (Barger, Barriera) or were just plain bad (Otto Lopez, Zululeta, Macko, Gabby Martinez). 16-30 or lower -We saw some strides with lower ranked guys especially. Schneider, Francis and Horwitz look like big league contributors. Alan Roden took a huge jump from a nobody to a legit prospect. Palmegiani made a leap too. -It also seems like our pitching took a system wide leap with a bunch of pitchers becoming "guys". Though we traded a couple of them for Jordan Hicks. So all that said what was the end result for the year? Good, bad, mediocre? Seems like it was kind of good?

So all that said what was the end result for the year? Good, bad, mediocre? Seems like it was kind of good? Better than average. A little tidbit from BA: Among the relievers on this list are some of the top names in the minor leagues. Connor Cooke was a revelation for the Blue Jays this summer, as he pitched his way to Triple-A by season’s end with a robust three-pitch mix.
Terminator Old-Timey Member Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 I also forgot to mention that we seemed to have a really good draft by most accounts, so that helps as well.
Krylian Old-Timey Member Posted October 11, 2023 Author Posted October 11, 2023 That fatso Barriera was a massive disappointment this season.
Terminator Old-Timey Member Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 That fatso Barriera was a massive disappointment this season. Yeah I should grouped him in with the plain bad
RustyTrombone Verified Member Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 Remove Macko from the bad group. His last 8 starts including the playoffs were really good. And he stayed healthy all season.
Terminator Old-Timey Member Posted October 12, 2023 Posted October 12, 2023 Remove Macko from the bad group. His last 8 starts including the playoffs were really good. And he stayed healthy all season. Yeah but he ended the year in A+ again. I guess it wasn't a disaster but it wasn't great. Probably just kind of spun his tires more than it being bad.

I would say the system developed well this year. It will be underrated on off-season rankings
