Allen has 1st round interest from both the Cubs and Red Sox, as well as us. I don't think you're going to get him at a discount.
-
Griffin Canning has both elbow and shoulder concerns apparently. Major overuse at UCLA.
-
Frankie Piliere: thinks the connection of Gavin Sheets to our 28th pick is a case of shopping several guys for potential under-slot deals, although he states that we're still in on several prep players in this spot as well. Can we get Twitter embed already?
-
Those are last season's stats.
-
MLB.com's grades are all months old and to be honest I'm not sure how relevant they really are at all (you can often find players with similar grades across the board ranked absurdly far apart). Its fun to look at since its more than just a numerical ranking, but its not something I'd take too seriously, especially with players who's stock has seen clear upward trajectory. Also, how s***** is Pearson's control really? He walked 23 batters in 81 innings this season. All recent reports state obvious growth in pitchability.
-
The Heimlich situation is unfortunate because I believe that experts in that field are very optimistic about "recovery" rates for people in his exact situation, that is that he'll be blackballed because of the optics involved despite there being a very high probability that he never commits a crime of that nature again. A kid like Seth Romero on the other hand likely still goes in the first round despite some obvious demons that stem well past simple "immaturity".
-
Frankie Piliere is dropping some late stock buzz on Twitter. Warmoth rising late again and in play for the Tigers at 18 apparently.
-
I saw Bryce Brentz's name pop-up in a AAA boxscore and seemed to remember him being drafted a couple years ago.....he was drafted in 2010.
-
Olivares also has 4 HR in the last 6 games. 21 year old showing some real power.
-
Bichette: 3 for 4, two 2B. Up to .388
-
He's black bro, I'm pretty sure its not sun related. That is kinesio tape on his neck.
-
20 year old who hit 101+ mph is a "Deck McGuire pick". Good one. Why pick Pearson over a HS kid? Maybe because he dominated against very good JUCO competition and thus has already proven more than any HS pitcher in this draft.
-
He should be gone in the 2nd round.
-
Dalton played in 15 MLB games at age 21 (which would be Tristan's draft age next year), don't forget that. Who knows which one ends up the better player (especially with Dalton's inability to stay healthy), but its important to note that Dalton was hitting extremely well in ~AA/AAA at the same age that Tristan will still be dicking around in College at next year.

General 2017 Blue Jays Discussion Thread
metafour replied to reedjohnsonfan's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I think that Smoak probably already knew that striking out ~60% of the time when getting to two strikes wasn't an optimal "approach". -
This is the second time I've seen us linked to Fairchild as Keith Law also mentioned in one of his mocks that he's heard us in on both Wake Forest guys (Fairchild and 1B Gavin Sheets).
-
Throw DJ Davis on your list too then. Sorry, it just seems like you had to reach into the mid 20's (or later) of our prospect list to make some sort of point that fits your narrative. Yes, our system is treading water because a career ~.500 OPS hitter still hasn't managed to become an elite hitter. Good point. Also; Gudino's OPS by season: .386 .516 .599 .618 Is he good? Not really, which isn't even the argument I'm making. How is he tumbling when he is in fact getting better every year, by actual empirical study.

Baseball America and MLB.com updated their draft rankings. BA 500: http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft-preview/ MLB 200: http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2017?list=draft
-
Its still his best offensive season to date, and he's doing it at the highest level he's been. My argument isn't that he's a top prospect all of a sudden, its that he is in fact getting better. Its not like he was considered a top prospect for us going into this season, so I'm not even sure why he made your list. He is, in fact, rising. Rising a lot? Not really.
-
Pruitt is 'falling' by not even taking an at-bat? His season hasn't even started yet. Also, Gudino is 'rising' if anything as this is literally his first season to actually show anything with the bat, and he's still only 20 in A-ball.

Jeff Hoffman: 7 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 9 K 26 K, 2 BB in 20.2 IP
-
Looks like Rodrigo Orozco was promoted to Lansing. Started in LF today, batting lead-off: 1 for 5.
-
On Donaldson: "He's getting close", "He's close", "Watched him today, he's getting close", "Talked to him today, he says he feels he's getting close". Dear god, shut the f*** up and find something else to talk about.
-
f***, 4 for 4 means that Bichette's BABIP is going to rise after this game. Bad news guys.
