Call him up.

ETA September 2014 or July?

[Beef]

Ought to call him up later than whenever they actually do call him up because then they could have saved some money and started the clock later.

Dude is pulling out like it's prom night

[Bobbob1313]

Didn't see much talk, but he ended up having a very solid debut.

Finished with a very respectable .299/.354/.442 line in 175 PA.

I'll take that line in the Majors.

In Friday’s edition of “What Scouts are Saying,” Baseball Prospectus quoted one evaluator on 2013 Miami Marlins’ first-round pick Colin Moran. The review started well enough with the scout relaying how Moran plays like a big leaguer. It then took a sharp turn, and not in a favorable direction.

The full quote: “Colin Moran plays like a big leaguer down on a rehab assignment. He has no range at [third base] and will have to move to first. I could see him becoming Garrett Jones."

With all due respect to Jones, the Marlins are looking for a little more upside from last season’s sixth overall pick.

Still way to early to fret. Moran so far is having a great June, logging a .352/.368/.556 slash line with five doubles and two homers in 52 at-bats through Thursday. For the season, Moran is slashing .292/.330/.406.

So I know college stats don't mean all that much and there's difference in conference talent and such but wow his power really lagged behind Bryant's and Petersen's.

Bryant: .329/.493/.820/1.313 66/44 BB/K
Petersen: .408/.520/.807/1.327 46/35 BB/K
Moran: .348/.478/.557/1.035 60/22 BB/k

We're talking nearly 300 points of difference in SLG.

I still like the pick (cuz yah college 3b bat) and not trying to discredit it (yah more power as he gets older yah) just crazy those number differences.

Just want to point out how right nny got this. Should've really paid more attention to this during last year's draft. Really didn't even realize how good Peterson was in college, and he's doing just as well with the Mariners now.

I'm more "concerned" about his lack of walks.

You're one to talk
