8/5 Minors Reports and Discussion

[nny]

only 60 day DL doesn't count to 40 man roster, 15 day DL still counts

we have 4 on 60 day, 1 on 15

43-4 = 39

I really don't understand why Jennings and Andrelczyk are still in Greensboro. Seems like they should be on the fast track.

Now someone could have picked up Graham and put him in the minors right, since he was DFA'd in the minors? Making the non pickup even more glaring of how much he stinks.

There's almost no reason to check Jupiter's Box anymore... I guess Harvey threw a scoreless inning so far.

Pretty sure Harvey needs to be protected on the 40 man, so that may be interesting after the year.

And Cishek is a pretty decent projectable RP too.

Speaking of Jupiter relievers, a guy that not many people talk about is Jhan Marinez and it's insane that no one knows who he is. I would be surprised if a lot of people here even know Marinez.

30.1 IP, 30 SO, 14 BB, 11 (yes, 11) H, 2 HR -- 2.08 ERA and .076 BAA

He turns 21 next week and throws 95.

interesting

where did he come from and how come no one speaks his name?

[Bucklin12]

Came out of the Dominican and apparently turned a huge corner in the offseason. He struggled in marginal time as a 19/20 year old in the GCL last year.

He signed as an 18 year old so he's didn't come into the DR as someone to watch, and then he's never had a lot of "big stat" success like low ERAs and the such. He's always been pretty wild, but he's been striking out a batter per inning for a while now though.

He used to start in the DSL.
--------------------
He has an insane stretch back in 07 I believe when he was starting in the DSL, something like 25 innings in 4 starts giving up like 2 total runs on something like 5 H while striking out a ton. Not sure why he's a reliever... FWIW he has been pitching multiple innings in Jupiter and only about every 4 days.

-----------

I could be so wrong on those numbers, and I hope I'm not confusing him with someone else.
