They also had Patrick Weigel skip A+ entirely.
-
but why
-
It's only 15 innings. AA is a big jump. He's never had great control. I'm guessing that AA hitters are spitting on a lot of nasty balls that A hitters were whiffing on last year.

Here's a sexy list. Players 19 (or under) with a .900+ OPS in the Midwest league since 2010: Oscar Taveras Mike Trout Wil Myers Javier Baez Miguel Sano (.893) Byron Buxton Corey Seager Carlos Correa (.872 BUT only 18) Eloy Jimenez 2017 so far***: Vlad (1.000+) Bo (1.000+) Carlos Rincon (1.000+ BUT doesn't seem sustainable with 39 K's in 25 games) Brendon Davis (also 39 K's right now)

Nah. I don't want to create a precedent of setting lineups and stuff for owners during periods of neglect. If he doesn't come back around at some point this season then we might have to replace him though...
-
What's wrong with Diaz? His numbers are fine.
-
Vlad nukes Eloy at this point. He has him beat at virtually every important factor. I'm not even sure there's a tool that Eloy has him beat in. Raw power? I've seen 80s for Jimenez.
-
He won't sniff AA but there's a chance he'll make some top 5s anyway. Comparable guys would maybe be Gleyber Torres and Victor Robles.
-
Goldstein wasn't that great. Parks had the eye.
-
He has no trade value but he still has a bit of upside. That upside is pretty limited at this point--slightly above avg 2B.
-
Catchers are so f***ing gross and random.
-
A replica world series ring though? I doubt it At least they could give the bobblehead to their husband or son - who actually like baseball/sports.
-
They should know better than to say that women like jewelry. It's 2017! Let's ignore the fact that women do actually like jewelry.

Personally
-
If anybody wants to blow me for literally any player, I'll listen
-
Always had some raw but last year he had a .272 ISO in AAA.
-
I still believe that I won't miss what I traded for him
-
I still believe.

Danny "Super Tek" Jansen
-
His post was self-deprecating, you f***ing dimwit.
-
Yes. LoMo too. Also, Zimm and Thames are now elite 1B.
-
It's just really hard to believe Pentecost can catch at this point. And if he can't catch, it's hard to believe he can be a half-decent major leaguer. I'll take a backup C over a AAAA fringe LF (or whatever Pentecost ends up being).
-
*** get excited about Jansen if backup catchers excite you
-
Feel free to get excited about Jansen. His development stalled the last two years but he has all of the ingredients of an MLB catcher. "19. Dan Jansen, C Video: Jansen signed for $100,000 in the 16th round in 2o13 from a Wisconsin high school and the cold weather athlete emerged quicker than expected, putting up nice numbers in his first full season. Jansen has a powerful frame at 6’2/215 and has average raw power that he’s learning to integrate into his game, but he isn’t all tools: he has more walks than strikeouts for his career. The swing is good and he was limited by a knee issue in 2014, but has a 55 arm and enough ability to stick behind the plate. His full-season debut comes in 2015 and he’s a favorite of many in the organization to take a big step forward this season." ^ that is from two years ago. People who are still down on him are underrating the complete package. Consider the injuries this guy had his last three seasons (ACL injury, broken hand 2015, hamate bone injury 2016) and how those torpedoed his numbers. Jansen > Pentecost

7th overall is definitely tanking for Boston! And they picked 7th overall TWICE between 2013 and 2015. lol @ Trey Ball.
