5/3 - 5/9 Minor League Game Thread

Riddle should be called up already. Even if he’s not starting, Riddle is a massive upgrade over Yadiel Rivera. I think he could give the Marlins at least what Rojas has offensively. I wouldn’t mind platooning the 2 of them.

JT is in AAA ONLY because they wanna get him regular AB's/get into playing shape. He will be back up soon. Hard to get AB's if u are on the bench as the UT guy

Cabrera and Guzman won't have impressive numbers. Both are on pitch counts right now

He hasnt played in like a year and he only was up with the big club last year because of a rash of injuries to hech and then rojas. He is an upgrade but he should be getting everyday ab's in Nola if the choice is between that and playing twice a week up here.

[tjfla]

agree on Riddle. I'd plant Austin Dean in LF also - he walks as much as he whiffs and has the nice OBP the Marlins need.

Over Galloway? WOW!!!! Dean will get a call if he keeps hitting

[fish16]

Ya id be cool with sending brinson down and bringing up dean. or just sending shuck down and bringing up dean or van slyke. it makes 0 sense that shuck is still up here.

Galloway has been very disappointing ... almost as bad as Sierra, who is still looking for his first RBI as he approaches 100 ab's. As a big fan of Richards and Meyer, I'll be watching New Orleans closely.

Sierra has been pretty damn good after the 1-24 start the first week of the year.

Sierra has been pretty damn good after the 1-24 start the first week of the year.

Yes, the batting average has improved. Sierra's problem is the inability to draw walks (4 walks and 25 whiffs in 102 plate appearances) and an ungodly OPS (.541). Braxton Lee was having a miserable time on the bayou also (before going down with an injury).

[Maddawg]

good outing for sandy. monte is playing better too. hopefully diaz picks it up again soon.

- - - - - - - - - -

Aloso another 2-4 with 2 2b's and a walk and Thomas jones with another hr. both good signs. also edward cabrera has been very unencouraging this year thus far.

Harrison has been playing great the last few games. Getting excited to see his development.

Time for Riddle to come up and Rivera to go down.

agreed. Riddle up, rivera down, Tazawa DFA'd and Meyer up here.

Also great to see harrison hitting well. When he cuts his k's down he's gonna be a beast. Hope they give him until next may-june in the minors though.

diaz has been struggling pretty bad lately. still with a 7/6 BB/K ratio though in the last 10 games despite a .171 average. He'll figure it out though eventually. still only 21 and somehow has a .331 OBP to go along with his .194 avg.
