matt mervis is on pace for 57 hr's and 114 rbi. i will again say the cubs giving up on him after just over 100 at bats in favor of vidal brujan made no sense.

Also, i have to take back what i said last night. after looking into the minor league profile of cash considerations, i like that pickup for bride. lot's of potential.

josh naylor has turned himself into a nice little player. it's a shame he accidentally stabbed a teammate and we had to get rid of him for the legendary marlins run of andrew cashner.

Robby snelling with another great outing in AA last night. He wont be there much longer. 3 starts this year, 16.1 IP, 20 k's, 2 walks, 2.20 ERA and .98 WHIP.

Just read that andrew Salas is the youngest player in A ball or higher at 17.1 years old. 2nd youngest is a brewers prospect who is almost a year older at 17.9. Salas now has an .816 OPS and 8 walks to 6 k's. He's going to be in the next update of the top 100 lists you have to think, and possibly pretty high.

Starlyn Caba from the luzardo trade has 14 walks and 5 hits on the year, which is something. He also had more walks than hits all of last year.


Norby is back today with pauley going down.

I still have reservations about Edwards. Ignoring his lack of power and poor(albeit serviceable) defense, his BABIP is in the 400s(398 last season) and his savant page is mostly blue and he is pretty bad against any non-fastball.

Very odd player.

he's had the high BABIP his entire career, throughout the minors as well, because he is fast and has a tremendous eye. You dont need to hit for power to be effective. He doesnt swing at bad pitches often and is in the 75th percentile of speed. His chase rate and whiff rate are always good because of this, and he is a good player overall because of it. he's just a flat out good hitter with a great eye. he's not a good SS though. I'd stick him at 2b and see what happens.

His baseball savant page is not mostly blue, it's just blue in the areas relating to hitting the ball hard. he has low numbers for bat speed, hard hit %, expected slugging, and average exit velocity. as long as you dont try to confuse him for a power hitter, he's a damn good player.

I mean, that's not really true. He's a light hitter even as far as light hitters go, he doesn't even maximize what little power he has, and his BABIP is 50 points higher than what he put up in the minors.

I like him, but he does have some red flags.

DLC was sent down to AAA by the Braves. In the 60 games he's been gone, he's been the least valuable player in baseball at -1.6 WAR.

[Namaste]

Marlins traded him at the perfect time. Genius.
