4/12 - 4/18 Minor League Game Thread

[fish16]

Woah, Edward cabrera giving some credence to those that view him as the sleeper pitching prospect in the system. 6 no hit innings in greensboro, 2 walks, 3 k's, and just 68 pitches. Only allowed 1 run last start too but had a ton of walks. Just 68 pitches too, only 37 strikes though but still obviously its getting the job done. Would like to see him start throwing more strikes though. Hate that we cut him off at 68 pitches though. Mentioned before but i am a pitch count and not innings limit guy. Feels like we have a set number of innings we want guys to throw and take them out whether they have 90 pitches or 50. Did it with Paddack a bunch when he had that run in greensboro and it clearly didnt help his injury prevention either.

side note, greensboro has very little in terms of hitting prospects this year.

Finally got word from the broadcast tonight that Guzman has been dealing with an oblique injury and thats why he hasnt been pitching.

Im not sure if its just a coincidence, but just about every start for Gallen this year including spring he has been bad in the first inning.

Nice start for Alcantara and Dean still ridiculously hot in AA (.559/.605/.706). I'd like to see him promoted to New Orleans soon.

Nice to see Chen actually pitch in a game. I know he's a sunk cost at this point, but I'd like to at least see him get healthy enough to contribute.

Any word on why the fuck we drafted Trevor Rogers in the first round and he still hasnt pitched in the minors?

We picked him over Heliot Ramos/David Peterson/Alex Faedo(pitched last night against Jupiter)

Nope nothing. I know last year he had arm fatigue and anxiety so maybe they are being super careful? No need to rush him however 2020 AA Rotation will be Garrett/Rogers/Cabrera/Roberson/Givin/maybe #13 pick so. Have him finish in GBoro in 2018 and Jupiter in 2019 he is still on track

Not a good sign for a professional baseball player if they're being held out due to anxiety.

I dont even care what the damn reason is whether it is injury, mental, or character issues, but this guy is close to a year removed from being drafted and not even a whiff of him being close to making his debut.
