This also seems to be a good time to remind everyone I'm dangling Suarez or Story in a trade.

[BTS]

Yeah congrats on the W. I regret not promoting Story now. Just think I could have had 11 HR from two SS this week lol.

 

Ha, every time he homered I had to check your roster to make sure he hadn't been promoted

[Dr. Dinger]

Gah, I'm pretty tempted to call up Mazara, my offence could really use a boost.

You're probably better off tanking for the number one pick next year.

How'd that work out for you the last 3 years?

[Boxcar]

Not well, but I f***ed up big time so I had no choice.

[Dr. Dinger]

Any time here, GD.

I didn't build around old dusty bats, so there's really nothing to rebuild anyway even if I fail this year.

[GD]

Any time here, GD.

 

f*** off I really didn't want to

If you guys are wondering why there's no elite/great, it's because I use a tier system Cyborg suggested. In this case it's something like:

 

Elite: .650+

Great: .600-.650

Good .525-.600

Av: .475-.525

Bad: 2nd last-.475

Ace: Last

 

Although the numbers might be too close together. Cyborg, should I not be adding the full +0.25 at the end, something smaller? I remember some discussion about that

[BTS]

f*** yeah Mike Trout's team

[Dr. Dinger]

f*** off I really didn't want to

 

Elite: .650+

Great: .600-.650

Good .525-.600

Av: .475-.525

Bad: 2nd last-.475

Ace: Last

 

 

I've been using those tiers for 2 years now, don't be giving cyborg credit.

Only 2?

Looks good to me.

[Dr. Dinger]

Only 2?

 

Since before you've been around, sonny.

[AdamGreenwood]

Tiers should be symmetrical. Can't have two tiers below average and three above.

[L54]

Looks like I've got some work to do.

[Dr. Dinger]

I'm calling up Mazara.

[BTS]

I'm calling up Mazara.

 

Is this BORED's first prospect promotion?

[z3r0s]

I'm calling up Mazara.

 

Nice! I'm going to wait a bit (as my pitching is too much of a mess to contend this year).

 

2 more hits tonight. Some tough hits so far, which are impressive but not super pure. Shows his talent, going to be interesting to see how he adjusts.

 

I think he'll be a beast!

I don't feel like I can waste any more ABs on Avisail Garcia if I want to compete right away. That guy is the f***ing worst.

Processed.

Calling up Story.

[Dr. Dinger]

Prospect of the Day:

Sean Manaea, LHP, Oakland Athletics (Triple-A Nashville): 5.1 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 6 K.

Ben Zobrist is a tremendous player, and he was a huge part of the Royals’ championship run. Oakland fans shouldn’t feel too bad about losing him and getting this kind of talent, though. Manaea has two legit swing-and-miss pitches in his fastball and slider, both of which grade out as plus, along with a change that’s certainly good enough to keep hitters honest. The command keeps getting better, and more results like Monday night’s will see him in Oakland this summer.

Others of Note:

Willson Contreras, C, Chicago Cubs (Triple-A Iowa): 4-for-5, 2B. As good as the Cubs lineup is, you have to wonder if they’ll be “forced” to find a place for this guy soon.

Julio Urias, LHP, Los Angeles Dodgers (Triple-A Oklahoma City): 5 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 9 K. Remember when people were panicking about his struggles at the end of last year? That was cute.

Christian Walker, LF, Baltimore Orioles (Triple-A Norfolk): 1-for-3, HR (2), BB, K. Walker’s bat is considerably more valuable with the move to the outfield.

Brian Johnson, LHP, Boston Red Sox (Triple-A Pawtucket): 4 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 5 K. Twitter tells me Joe Kelly has “great stuff.” Logic tells me that Brian Johnson is a better starting pitcher.

Aaron Judge, OF, New York Yankees (Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre): 2-for-5, 2 R, 2B, 2 K. Because of the size, everyone talks about the power, but the feel for hitting is the real selling point here.

Alex Bregman, SS, Houston Astros (Double-A Corpus Christi): 2-for-5, 2 HR, 2 R, K. Look out, Carlos Correa! Bregman’s second homer was a walkoff bomb in the bottom of the 12th.

David Dahl, OF, Colorado Rockies (Double-A Hartford): 1-for-3, HR (3), 1 BB, 2 K. The sample size is small, but it looks like the added strength is paying off in terms of game power.

Rob Kaminsky, LHP, Cleveland (Double-A Akron): 5 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 1 K. The former Cardinals first-round pick could be a fast-mover because of his advanced feel.

Bradley Zimmer, OF, Cleveland (Double-A Akron): 2-for-3, 2 HR, 2 BB. There is no weakness in this young man’s game.

Rowdy Tellez, 1B, Toronto Blue Jays (Double-A New Hamshire): 1-for-3, HR, BB. Tellez carries Vogelbach-ian concerns about his position, but he also boasts a similar offensive profile.

Bubba Derby, RHP, Milwaukee Brewers (High-A Brevard County): 5.2 IP, 5 H 0 ER, 0 BB, 8 K. Not just a fantastic name, Derby shows two 55-grade pitches in his fastball and change, with an average slider for good measure.

Andrew Benintendi, OF, Red Sox (High-A Salem): 2-for-3, 3B (3), R. No one could keep up this triples pace, but as a plus runner who can put the ball in the gaps, he’s going to hit a lot of them.

James Kaprielian, RHP, Yankees (High-A Tampa): 5 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 9 K. The UCLA product dominated one of the best lineups in High-A (Bradenton) while touching 97 mph and showing a wipeout slider.

Ryan Castellani, RHP, Rockies (High-A Modesto): 5 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 9 K. The Rockies’ 2014 second-rounder has been coddled, but he shows a plus fastball and two useable secondaries.

Dansby Swanson, SS, Atlanta Braves (High-A Carolina): 2-for-4, R, 2 2B (4, K). Swanson is on pace to be featured in every MLU this year. We’re gonna run out of superlatives.

Eddy Martinez, OF, Cubs (Low-A South Bend): 2-for-4, HR, 2 K. The first of many professional homers this young man will be hitting. His upside is immense.

Austin Allen, C, San Diego Padres (Low-A Ft. Wayne): 3-for-4, BB. When you get three hits and a walk, and your batting average DROPS, that’s how you know you’re off to a good start.

Mitch Keller, RHP, Pittsburgh Pirates (Low-A West Virginia): 5 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 10 K. It was important for the former second-round pick to get off to a strong start. He certainly did that.

Andy Ibanez, 2B, Texas Rangers (Low-A Hickory): 3-for-4, 2 4, 2 2B (4) K. As a 23-year-old, he has no business being at such a low level, but it’s nice to see he’s dominating it (.571/.625/1.000 over his first five games).

Francisco Mejia, C, Cleveland (Low-A Lake County): 3-for-4, R, 3B, BB. It’s super early, but it’s awesome to see the results starting to show just how talented he is.

Might as well! Doesn't look like Reyes is getting his job back any time soon (if he ever plays again).

Thanks for waiting!

[KingKat]

What's Bandit's situation? Is he a contender?

[Dr. Dinger]

What's Bandit's situation? Is he a contender?

 

It's the 2nd week of the season, everyone is theoretically a contender.

[KingKat]

It's the 2nd week of the season, everyone is theoretically a contender.

 

Yeah theoretically but that also holds through of MLB teams and you would still say that the Cincinnati Reds are essentially a rebuilding team and that the Jays are clearly a win now team.

[burlingtonbandit]

If anyone is looking for a middle infielder I have a surplus. Would be looking for a SP or OFer
