Show of hands: anybody other than Greenwood ever heard of Jason Vosler? I just assume he's an org guy who will fall on his face in AA and I'll cut him for the summer draft.

 

Then why did you insist on him?

Posted
Hang on to him, and I will trade you something mid-season for him as soon as one of my guys gets bumped up

 

Sounds like collusion to me.

What do you see in him? Is he a personal friend, and you just kinda have to roster him...

What happens if he stinks at the start of the year?

A 20 speed guy with 5 triples and 3 SBs in 450 PA.

 

Sounds accurate.

 

Evan Gattis had like 10 triples this year. Don't underestimate how bad defence is in the low minors.

I assume its the 16% walk rate and .200 ISO in High A.

I'm gonna go ahead and take the safer bet in that BP just thinks he sucks and tanked all of his attributes artificially.

That report was probably filed by some snot nosed chubby loser in a fedora who only watched a game or two. I don't give it an iota of credibility, but it is funny.

Jason Vosler, 3B

In terms of performance relative to age relative to level, Vosler is roughly the equal of Mark Zagunis, ranked ninth in the organization by Farnsworth. Both recorded roughly equal walk and strikeout rates this past year at High-A Myrtle Beach. Both exhibited at least average power at that level. Both enter their age-22 seasons in 2016. In fact, Vosler likely has the advantage defensively: while Zagunis recorded the majority of his starts in an outfield corner, Vosler occupied third base almost exclusively.

 

The difference, mostly? Pedigree. Zagunis was selected in the third round of the 2014 draft out of Virginia Tech; Vosler, in the 16th round of that same draft, out of Northeastern in Boston. Nor is that something one ought to ignore entirely — and Zagunis does possess greater speed and athleticsm. Still, with regard to those traits which both (a) can be captured by numbers and (B) translate most directly to wins, Vosler is well-acquitted.

 

Here, by way of conclusion, is a 20-plus second video of Vosler homering on August 29th: https://streamable.com/q8i9?t=2.1

For hitters, I pretty much rely on the stats, and only look at the scouting reports to get a sense of their defense.

Damn you all for leaving him on the board and making me swerve from my plans. Abomination selects Francisco Liriano.

 

Fawwwwk, the despair hit so hard.
