True story. Wonder why he isn't starting though....

He sort of is - being developed as a SP so far. Piggy-backing with Maximo. He has a five inning relief appearance.

 

His profile screams reliever but he's very athletic for a SP (think Stroman) so I hope they just give him a chance to start as long as he can.

2 for 4 with a double and a walk for Vladdy... Ho Hum.

2 K's. Off night.

Biggio with another HR. Wonder what the defense is like as he's been playing 1B a lot. If he can stick at 2nd maybe he can develop into a starting infielder.

how come on some prospects Fangraphs doesn't have any grades, like when I went to Biggio, there are no grades. Does that mean he isn't even good enough to be rated?

Not sure, but I do caution people when ever there's a power spike of a LH hitter in New Hampshire, as it's a very LH homer friendly park. It's 303 down the RF line and only 353 to right center, even shorter than the Yankees f***stick park by 11 and 32 feet respectively.

 

However, that doesn't yet apply to Biggio since they've been on the road so much to start the year, home/away splits are pretty meaningless at this point.

Yeah I believe that means they had him at less than 40 FV.
