6/7 - 6/13 Minor League Game Thread

[fauowls44]

Really nice outing for Guzman. He's been very tough to hit, but is simply walking too many people. He didn't have that issue last year, so hopefully they'll get that cleaned up.

Walk off 3 run blast for Harrison.

2 more hits for Devers.

Sierra has been excellent in June, which is good to see.

Also, 4 saves now for Tyler Kinley since being returned from the Twins. I could see him getting a shot if/when Ziegler and Barraclough are dealt.

With Riddle being up, having Yadiel Rivera up over Eric Campbell makes no sense.

Good outing for Guzman. His stuff is looking unhittabke for the level he’s at it’s just the walks he needs to work on

Yadiel Rivera is defense while Eric Campbell is offense. Plus Rivera can play SS

Yes. Rivera is pretty much only playing 3rd and 2nd since Riddle is here now when he occasionally plays. Campbell plays 2nd and 3rd, it'd be nice to have some offense off the bench.

Rogers was sent to Batavia and will be pitching in NYPL for a few games

[fish16]

Just looking at some numbers for the first time in a while for some of our minor league guys and Joe Dunand has been pretty bad after a hot start. He's actually not K'ing a lot so thats a positive and Jupiter can be super shitty for hitters.

Brian Miller will be promoted soon. Impressive numbers this year and for his career, his question going forward will be power as he's only hit 1 HR in 474 AB's. It depends how good his hit tool can stay upon playing better competition.

Interested to see how Guzmans numbers end up looking at the end of the year. Just want him to stay healthy and pitch every 5th day cause his career high innings is 66.2 from last year and at 22 thats pretty old for that to only be his career high. It's still a big question how effective will be or if he can survive that many innings. At the very least though he is a legit dominant bullpen arm.

Yamamoto good return from injury. I think he's promoted to AA sooner rather than later

Harrison with a cold spell. I think him and Brinson are both really good but they need to be (should have been in Brinson's case) treated extremely carefully with their development. Both have holes in their game but will both be good if they are developed slowly. We really need to send Brinson down to get that extra year ASAP and not doing it will be a mistake in the future.

I still think Isan Diaz as a power hitting 2b is not getting enough buzz. Young, has legit lefty power at 2b and has a high OBP and can draw
a lot of walks. I see him, Brinson, Harrison, Anderson, and I wish JT but likely not, could form a legit core of cost controlled hitters.

Merandy has been fine since returning from injury, but the way the marlins handled him this year is just so stupid. Having him up as a guy who barely pitched as a very young prospect on the worst team in baseball instead of pitching every 5th day and just developing was so stupid. Keep him as a SP pitching as much as possible until we are convinced he cant become a starter. Even if he is destined to be a reliever he still has a ton of long term value because good RP (Wittgren type) seems like his floor to me.

We'll see what Alcantara's ceiling is, but I think his floor at the very least is a #3 SP to me. I highly doubt he will be a #1, but I think to me his outcome is either mid rotation very solid starter or lights out closer.

Zac Gallen to me is just another flat out very solid floor despite low ceiling SP option. Pablo Lopez has been spectacular and is another guy that is a rotation piece moving forward.

Im understandably in the minority but I just think Sierra will eventually hit enough to be a floor of a really good 4th OF with a ceiling of a slightly better Jarrod Dyson. Not a great hitter but good enough and with good enough speed and great defense to provide good value. Encouraging thing for Sierra thus far this year is 9/11 SB's. Ive been saying for a while that he is a guy who because of his hitting profile seems to struggle the first time at each level but eventually gets up to speed and so his numbers overall look the way they do but going in depth on the progression at each level that he made over time he eventually is a good hitter.

Neidert is another guy who is a solid rotation guy moving forward that isnt talked about as much. One thing about his minor league numbers that stand out to me is that he is a rare pitcher who absolutely dominates the California league (equivalent to Jupiter). It is a hitting paradise and his numbers and his age for that league were incredibly impressive.

Edward Cabrera has been up and down. Performance wise ive never quite seen it but im sure he's just one of those guys who has the "stuff" to profile as a good prospect if he can get it together.

Im super excited to watch Devers develop as a prospect. He to me reminds me of the Rays acquiring Adames for Price from the Tigers all those years back. Super young but still holding his own. Very interested to see how he and Chris Torres from the phelps trade develop as he is also very young with really solid tools but is more bat first than Devers. Don't know why Torres hasnt been playing in Greensboro the whole year unless their is some sort of injury.

Pablo Lopez had a rough first inning (there was an error and then he gave up a HR), but was lights out after that and had a strong outing. That's 2 good starts in AAA since his promotion.

Dalvy Rosario is someone that caught my attention looking at the box scores from the DSL. Very small sample size obviously, but he's a 17 year old SS and has 3 HR and an OPS of 1.055 through 10 games. I had never heard of him before, but it's something to keep an eye on.

DSL has some nice prospects. Marinez/Machado/Giron/Montero/Jandel Paulino but ya Rosario is looking the best right now. Wouldn't call him a SS-he has played CF/2B/SS/3B already
