I had no idea FCL had started. For some reason it isn't showing up on milb app.

I just follow the recaps in the Minor League subforum on here by the 3 writers from JaysCentre, like so, informative stuff in here.

 

[Spanky__99]

Nimmalla, Arias and Keys are killing it in New Hampshire...

Oof...

Jake Cook is up to Dunedin now. Should be a fun guy to keep an eye on.

Be interesting to see if they have made any changes to his swing. 

[John_Havok]

Arias 3-3 and was a double short of the cycle. Moved his AA OPS up to 1.731

SSS but damn

Juan Sanchez has homered twice in the past 5 games to go with 4 walks. Hopefully he's starting to make the adjustment.

I noticed this the other day. I found that if you filter the boxscores by affiliate on the MILB site then the FCL won't show up. 

 

If you filter the level to rookie ball and select the Florida Complex League and not touch the MLB affiliate section then you can see the boxscores.

 

 

 

Johnny King dealing once again tonight. 

 

5 innings, 3 hits, no runs, 1 walk, 8 Ks

Arias is such an interesting prospect. Fangraphs described him as a toolshed who is fringy at cf but could get to average. A really high ceiling.

And, perhaps more importantly for King, just 69 pitches. Thats pretty efficient 

[Laika]

Great to see King throw five innings

Nice.

[jmomcc]

Man Perry shoved again. 

5 IP/ 3H/ 0 R/ 3 BB/ 10 K 

He ran into to some trouble in the 5th, gave up a double and then lost the zone a bit walking two guys. But got out of it with a K and a flyout. 

I really need to make it a priority to see him and King before they get promoted. 

[43211234]

Perry striking out 43% of the batters he's faced this year. Crazy

[Laika]

Look at these breaking balls 

 

 

[John_Havok]

Those are sexy. 

That really good IVB fastball must make that breaker that starts out at the top of the zone just look like it vanishes.

[jmomcc]

Stanifer had a good start today in the first game of the doubleheader. Hopefully he can string a few together. 

Pitched 5 innings, 1 earned off 4 hits, with 2 walks and 9 ks. 

[Olerud363.354]

Jo Jo Parker 1 for 3 with a couple of walks.  .222 .374 .376 with 26 walks and 40 ks in 32 games.

Not looking like an amazing pure hitter, that ship has already sailed (see Kevin McGonigle for what an good 19 year old pure hitter looks like, 46 to 28 bb/k as a 19 year old).  Perhaps more of a Cavan Biggio type with an earlier start.

Biggio put up similar numbers in Dunnedin, though Dunnedin was high a at the time and Biggio 22.

A younger, slightly better Cavan Biggio not a bad thing.  If Parker could do Biggio 19/20 for a 5 year run that would be helpful. 

Josh Kasevich:  3/4 and up to .289 .357 .388 basically his career averages.  Trending to be the next Ernie Clement with more exit velocity? 

 

 

[Olerud363.354]

Josh Kasevich - If he is Ernie Clement with 35 walks instead of 9 that is super-helpful.

Jo Jo Parker - If he walks 70 times strikes out 150 and is useful on basepaths, defense, a bit of pop that is super useful.

Read that present iteration of Jays have like 4 players (Clement, Giminez, Heineman, Sosa) who haven't walked in months.  Or whatever it was historically low.  These new players coming in 2028 will hopefully at least help that.

From the latest Fangraphs chat on Nolan Perry.

"Looks really good. Slipped thru the crack on the Jays list because he didn’t pitch last year. Prototypical frame, gorgeous arm action, advanced feel (for a guy coming off long term layoff, especially), love he breaking ball feel. Think the curveball is deep enough for it to play against lefties even if his change is only ever fine. Potential end of year top 100 guy if the innings count ends up around 100 frames."

Peyton Williams, not exactly the prototypical leadoff hitter at 6'5" 260 (and thats probably light by a few) hit a triple tonight.

I need to see this footage

1 triple.  0 homeruns in Vancouver in 25 games.  25 years old.  6'5" 260.  Demoted from AA to A+

Minors are sad. Just a game of failure.   People seemed excited about Williams a couple of years ago, big guy, hits ball far, but he's going backwards and not hitting ball far that I can see.

He is 60% above league average offensively so he is ready to go back up again, but yea its a profile that has to rake. Its also a profile we seem to have a lot of in the farm. P

[Laika]

This one was flying under my radar

BA just jumped this guy into the Jays top 20 and he sounds like YET ANOTHER legit SP prospect out of nowhere

I just want to see a fat dude leg out a triple. I'm not saying he's anything special. 

I also need no education on the minors, I live in the minor league box scores and metrics sites.
