Matt Dominguez Has Been Promoted to AA Jacksonville

[wanks1212]

So Stanton + Dominguez penciled in as next years call ups?

hopefully they spend the bulk of 2010 in AA and maybe AAA (particularly in Stanton's case, not so muhc Dominguez) and compete for roster spots in 2011. wouldn't be the worst thing if they were even June 2011 guys. hell, doming could be a full year in AA and a full year in AAA and be a 2012 guy.

but with the Marlins, yeah, maybe 2010

.281/.350/.472/.822

is his park factor'd line

incrase of 11 to 15 hrs

.281/.350/.472/.822

is his park factor'd line

incrase of 11 to 15 hrs

which is basically the same as his greensboro park factor'd line from doing a quick glance

[wanks1212]

if Doming puts up something approaching that line at the ML level, with his defense, holy balls he's awesome

[Fish and Chips]

the fact of having two young 19yrs prospects in AA is amazing, but given that i think the marlins need to be patient with Stanton and Matt, and let them develop more in AA and AA next year

Third baseman Matt Dominguez, the Marlins’ 2007 first-round pick (12th overall), has been promoted from Class-A Jupiter to Double-A Jacksonville. Dominguez will join the Suns today. After going 39 for his first 176 (.221) with nine doubles, two homers and 13 RBI, Dominguez from June 1 through Sunday batted .298 (61 for 205) with 16 doubles, nine homers and 40 RBI.



Dominguez opened the season as the Marlins' No. 6 prospect according to Baseball America. He's a good bet to play in the Arizona Fall League, where Marlins' third base coach Bo Porter will manager the Mesa club.

Good move.

[PitchingWinsGames]

Haha, and I just got tix for a Jupiter/St Lucie game to see that kid... bummer

[tjfla]

They want him to hit against better competiton and the bigger issue Jax has a good shot to make it to the playoffs and Jupiter has a good shot to win 15 games in the 2nd half.

I hear 2 of the names for the AFL are Matt Dominguez and Logan Morrison(Will play LF and to get some extra AB's since he missed the 1st half)

They were free

[BigGameFish]

Congrats to him. I think he could use about a month of AA ABs, even if he struggles. And damn thier lineup is loaded now! Morrison, Stanton, Dominguez! Holy crap.

This season, his defense has been on par with a +19 UZR/150 MLB fielder.

Which is Joe Crede/Ryan Zimmerman/Adrian Beltre level.

aka the 3 best defensive 3b's in baseball

[tjfla]

what about stanton?

Doubt Stanton goes

More likely
Dominguez
Morrison
Winters


Other 2 could be whoever might be back from injury or another Catcher like Jameson Smith/Chris Hatcher?

[Bucklin12]

I was thinking Jameson Smith, since he has only had like 100 ABs this year. He's done adequately with them and he's age appropriate. I've always liked him and been surprised at how little time he has gotten.

I wonder if Smolinski will go since he was injured for a bit.

my problem with jameson is his complete lack of power

his walks will completely disappear in the majors as guys just pound the zone

No, I agree. It's just that I think he merits more PA than he gets. Even last year, I think he only had like 200 in Greensboro. This year his SLG is still not good, but he almost has as many XBH as he did last year in half the PAs while making the hitting transition from Gboro to Jupiter. I realize that's not saying much.

In the end I don't think he's a major leaguer... maybe a defensive back up since he splits against RH okay.
