Daniel Perez slashing .292/420/.882 in the DSL. Legitimate prospect?

.882 is the OPS and he's 21. I wouldn't put any labels on him yet other than... who knows? Wasn't a top 50 international ranking, but came out of Cuba.

[John_Havok]

Barger heating up nicely in July .292/.387/.538/.925

 

in 65 AB (75 PA) 3 HR, 7 doubles. 10 walks, 14 K

 

 

Davis Schneider also at another level in July .294/.507/.588/1.095

 

51 AB (72 PA) 21 walks, 14 K, 3 doubles 4 HR

 

 

And then there's Horwitz in July ... .417/.493/.767/1.260

 

60 AB (71 PA) 11 walks, 9 K, 5 HR, 4 doubles, 1 triple.

Board has issues sometimes with double posts. im sure he saw it

Orelvis off to a slow start in AAA. That seems to be his MO when moving up a level though...

K rate isn't spiking though so that's a good indicator.

Yeah I noticed that and am more concerned with his K/BB % and his hard hit % than the rest. BABIP comes and goes.

with Orelvis, the BABIP typically just goes...

He seemed to change that, this season, after his 1st month. Maybe he flattened his swing a bit?

I havent seen much change to his swing other than it's a little more controlled with better swing decisions. He still wants to murder every ball that comes his way but he's laying off the ones that give him bad results far more often.

[The Cats Ass]

I think Orelvis is currently the 3rd youngest player in AAA right now?

[metafour]

Orelvis just cleared the bases with a double, after already hitting a line drive single earlier in the inning. He's 2 for 3 with 4 RBI.

Line drive single up the middle. Seems to have adopted a 2 strike no stride setup ala Bo.

 

Bloop double that fell in cause AAA fielders are s***.

Is 140 wRC+ good?

Like clockwork all you have to do is mention the name Bellinger and his simps will come running to his defense.

 

It's like the movie Beetlejuice, only Beetlejuice had better hygiene and wasn't as big of a degenerate as some of these Bellinger Fanboys are.

 

[metafour]

Davis Schneider just homered again lol (#20).

 

He is 2 for 2 with a BB.

You can call me whatever makes you feel better, but I’m not the one copying and pasting xwoba values or pitch usages all day long in July

Ill pay for his f***ing Uber to Toronto, just leave one of Espinal or Biggio at LAX.

Yeah could be that? The BABIP definitely went way up after that 1st month or so. Something Vladdy should be doing as well for that matter.

[RustyTrombone]

Sadly another blooper lol

Maybe Davis Scheneider can get a call up when his OPS hits .1000. Absolutely criminal he hasn’t been given a chance.

I guess the only thing really holding him back would be the lack of clear playing time. Like, you really wouldnt want to call him up to be a bench guy... Merrifield has seized the everyday utility role, and nobody is hurt. Is Schneider all that useful taking 10 ABs per week?

 

Maybe the only clear path to playing time is them putting Merrifield in LF consistently, shifting Varsho to the bench and starting Schneider at 2b every day.

But Espinal and Biggio are a couple of guys who have been dudes for us in the past <<<< Schneider the puppets response

So now you're upset with me for posting about the newly acquired Genesis Cabrera's pitch usage? Why?

He should be playing LF over Varsho and 2B over Espinal and Biggio. Merrifield is not impacted by this. I feel those 3 have not been getting the job done for several months and its time to see if an internal option can provide some offense to those positions.

I saw this today:

 

 

This only reinforces my suggestion to do what you said, basically. Start Merrifield in LF and bring Varsho in as the defensive replacement every day in the 7th (and start Varsho only twice a week). This way you take advantage of Varsho's D and apparent late inning prowess (guessing the fact that he's a good FB hitter and late inning relievers mostly throw FBs plays a part).
