8/1 - 8/7 Minor League Game Thread

[Lee Stone]

I missed him the 1st time around, but just went back to watch his innings. Game didn't have a radar gun, but he was blowing fastballs by people. Pounded the strike zone, good movement on the fastball and showed a good changeup that he used sparingly, I think he threw 1 curve that was a ball.

You chose a great night to watch (too bad Jupiter was rained out). I feel like a 25-man roster chosen from today's farm system would be better than the Marlins current lineup - even for the rest of this season.

Luis Palacios update:

5 IP 1 ER 3 Hit 6 Ks 0 BBs

Fitterer was equally good in the same game.

3 IP 0 runs 2 Hits 4 Ks 0 BBs

Looks like we could have 2 pretty good teenage pitchers in Clinton next year.

Got Mokma too and Matt Givin/Yeremin Lara who are 20. Best arm might be Leudy Martinez(19) and is like Edward Cabrera-is issue has been control. DSL also has LOTS of solid arms

Mokma and Fitterer are likely staying in Ex ST to start

Clinton Rotation-Givin/Palacios/Hoeing/Maldonado/??

- - - - - - - - - -

Alex Vesia has like 80 K’s in 50 innings.

Vesia in AA
CJ Carter and Guenther in Hi A

CJ Carter is a Brad Ziegler/Austin Brice type. Sidearm stuff

So I pretty much watched MILB.tv all night. Watched a good chunk of the Clinton, Jacksonville and New Orleans games.

Here are some of my thoughts:

Kameron Misner - right off the bat before he did anything I could already tell why scouts love him. Kid is a monster, towered over everybody on the field and just a very athletic build. In a game where Clinton's offense was pretty much completely shut down he had some good at bats that only led to the 1 single, but I was still impressed with what I saw.

Josh Roberson - This guy was the surprise of the night. Not too familiar with him, 12th round pick from 2017, seems like he's struggled with injuries since getting drafted, so he's old for Low-A ball, but from what I saw today, this kid is a legit prospect. Fastball typically was between 92-94 occasionally hitting 95, had a decent change, and a really good swing and miss curve ball. Went 6 innings struck out 7, only 3 hits and 1 walk. Was the tough luck loser in the game, the only run he gave up was unearned due to a botched double play attempt where Chris Torres threw the ball into the stands. He's now got a 1.84 ERA at Clinton in 29 1/3 innings.

Jacksonville:

Lewin Diaz: Super-impressed with this guy today. Like I said earlier, just a mammoth home run, seek out the video if you can find it. I was equally impressed with an AB he had later in the game where he laced a double down the left-field line.

Jazz Chisholm - didn't have his best day, took an 0fer for the game, did absolutely destroy a foul ball, looked good at SS from what I saw.

Pablo Lopez - Not Ready to come back.

The rest of Jacksonville looked pretty bad.

New Orleans:

Magneuris Sierra - I've been very adamant I'm not a fan of him. He had a good game, 2 hard-hit XBHs where he was able to show off that speed, and even drew a walk.

Jesus Sanchez - Kid was hitting laser-beams all game. 3-4 2 HRs a 2B and a BB. One laser to CF about took out the batter's eye, and his HR to right I think it was still gaining altitude when it left the park. About as good of a game as you can have. I got to see what makes this kid a highly-touted prospect.

Isan Diaz - He just keeps hitting. 2-4 1 HR a 2B and a BB. His HR was a bomb, looked good defensively at 2B.

Brinson - had a good game 2-4 with a 3B and a BB. His 3B was more of the bloop variety. Top Prospect Jo Adell tried to make a highlight-reel catch on it and it got by him, resulting in the triple.

Eddy Alvarez continues to hit. 3-5 with 3 singles.

Roberson has talent-his issue is health. 2nd/3rd Rd talent who fell to 11th cause TJ. Another arm with talent in Clinton is Remey Reed-also arm injuries

I am no Sierra fan either but like Brian Miller in Jax he has talent. They are both 26th Man types on ML roster-defense/speed/contact

[fish16]

Pretty phenomenal start for the 3 new bats in the system

[Nick]

Lewin Diaz has homered in 3 straight games now.

[Nick]

Jorge Guzman had a no-hitter thru 7, just gave up a base hit.

Meanwhile Sanchez has done it again, another HR tonight. Brinson hit one out too.

Lewin Diaz has homered in 3 straight games now.

Looks like a guy who shouldn't have been on the trade market to begin with. Steal

[Lee Stone]

Per Fish on the Farm, Trevor Rogers to AA. May start tomorrow for JAX.

awesome. He has been unbelievable this year. Garrett shouldnt be far behind.

[fish16]

kameron misner's early returns indicate we got a steal by grabbing him with our supp pick. He looks like a legit 5 tool guy, unlike most of the 5 tool guys we supposedly drafted over the years like Thomas Jones who are just athletes with no real baseball skills.

[Lee Stone]

Connor Scott has found "it" in the last month. The high school kid has been the best hitter at Jupiter since moving up. Yelich revisited. I think he has a claim on CF for a long time.

Jazz Chisholm knocked another ball out of the park today. Strikeouts were his one concern ... he has 0 strikeouts in his first four games!

[fish16]

another great sixto outing.

he struck out today

[Nick]

Connor Scott may be in the verge of that "breakout" could be talking about another Top 100 prospect sooner rather than later.

Connor Scott may be in the verge of that "breakout" could be talking about another Top 100 prospect sooner rather than later.

we have quite a number of guys who seem like they could be in a top 100 list by next midseason on top of the guys who will graduate from prospect status by the end of the year. Diaz, Sixto, Bleday, Cabrera, Chisholm, Sanchez, Lewin Diaz, Rogers, Garrett, and who knows what misner might do next year because he has impressed the hell out of me thus far, though its obviously super early.
