  1. Isn't a double header? Yeah it sounds weird
  2. Awful on-field collision with a rhino?
  3. They dropped a little bit when he got traded. His home park factor went from 100 to 95
  4. Souza has a .325 wOBA pre-season ZiPS: .310 pre-season Steamer: .323 But yes, between Souza and Pearce, projection systems have been disproven.
  5. Span Pompey and Cole for Souza, rape rape trade rape
  6. His talent really has never been in question. I think people are just holding their thoughts in fear of another dumb injury. Belt and Salazar both playing really well. BTS should have held.... Belt + Felix > Abreu + Kennedy.
  7. Problematic? He'd still be hitting very well, with an insane walk rate and an OBP over .400
  8. good results?
  9. Minor league average BABIPs are not wildly different from the majors (think .320 in A ball vs .300 in MLB), but it's what top prospects can do in those leagues. Top guys who can whack a ball and/or run routinely BABIP near .400. http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20150129&content_id=107630264&fext=.jsp&vkey=news_milb&sid=milb http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20140114&content_id=64606134&fext=.jsp&vkey=news_milb http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=3946 The average BABIP of legit hitting prospects in the MWL is probably like, .350-.370 or something like that.
  10. it was the rebrand that turned things around
  11. Your last name is Chwedchuk? weird Is that native or an anglicization of something Polish?
  12. wow, 30 walks in 29 games for Alford. 23% non-intentional walk rate. .489 OBP. I'd love to hear a scouting report from someone who has seen him a few times. Is his batting eye this good? Looks like he might lead all of professional baseball in OBP right now (min 90 PA)
  13. There's something with BTS and Red Sox starters... Doubront, Buchholz, now Kelly. Bad mix.
  14. Right, it looks like he has a decent eye so the K's could really drop at some point. We still have very little idea what type of player Alford will be. He could be a CF or a corner outfielder. He could be a light hitting speedster, or a high K power hitter. Could go in any direction.
  15. Another Sunday classic from Carlos Frias!
  16. It's not a talent thing. They just already have 5 (or more) starters taking turns in AAA. Castro, Wolf, Albers, Norris, Doubront, Jenkins, and maybe whichever of Copeland/Redmond is down there. It's not like there is a big talent gap between AAA and AA. A lot of top pitching/hitting prospects either skip AAA entirely or only stay there briefly.
  17. Given the profile, he's utterly ignorable until he holds his own in AA.
  18. I wouldn't worry too much about the homers right now. He still has the plus raw power, just needs to find the right approach to tap into it.
  19. To fix the pick #56 problem, JF has agreed to send GP his 2016 3rd rounder, gratis, once the draft is completed and those picks become tradable.
  20. Alford 2-3 with 2 walks. 24 walks in 27 games. I am excited. Best position prospect? (not counting Pompey).
