Postgame: Marlins Blank Reds 4-0 Behind Jacob Turner's Gem

[Ramp]

dude was onnnnn tonight

and Dobbers went second deck into RF

[AdamRavs]

And he did it against a good hitting Reds lineup in a hitters park.

[Mainge]

Cool. And Brantly is doing swell. Could end up being a nice trade.

Now lets re-sign Anibal.

The game was in Miami.

Brantley is cool.

[HUGG]

Brantley is cool.

I think he's a terrible announcer myself, but to each his own I guess.

[Valid]

Can anyone take a guess as to what Brantly's ceiling is? Could he be an .850 OPS catcher?

[HUGG]

Given that he never topped .755 in the minors, I have a hard time seeing him being an .850 guy.

[Bobbob1313]

Well, .806 in 75 games in Low A and then .820 in 46 in AA.

[nny]

His minor league BB% is 6.7% (13.2% now), his minor league ISO is .112 (.186 now), and he's sporting a .348 BABIP (Too lazy to calculate minor league BABIP since that requires work, but his HIGHEST BABIP in a stop with at least 100 PA is .331)

Chances are his walk rate and ISO halve and that BABIP drops.

But he's also young and can improve.

I wouldn't expect much more than a low 700 OPS out of him though.
