Bryson Brigman and IFA for Maybin
http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp...tting/2018/ALL
Solid SS/2B type. 23 in High A Ball Mariners #19 Prospect
Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 30 | Run: 55 | Arm: 45 | Field: 55 | Overall: 45
The only player to appear on three world championship teams for USA Baseball, Brigman, as a Draft-eligible sophomore at San Diego, was viewed as one of the more well-rounded college shortstops in the 2016 Draft. The Mariners selected Brigman with the No. 87 overall pick in the third round, and he signed for $700,000. Making his full-season debut in 2017, Brigman, despite being an older player in the Class A Midwest League, showed little impact potential at the plate but excelled with his glove at both middle-infield positions.
Brigman does a lot of things fairly well, though no single tool is plus. He has a solid approach, makes consistent contact from the right side of the plate and can steal some bases now and again. The quality of Brigman's contact leaves something to be desired, though, leading some scouts to question whether he'll ever be strong enough to consistently drive the baseball. He's a capable defender at shortstop, though most believe he'll need to move over to second base, where his below-average arm strength is a better fit. But he was impressive with his glove on both sides of the second-base bag in the Northwest League, committing just two errors apiece at the positions.
The Mariners intend to give Brigman the chance to stick at short, but his ability to play second should work in his favor and ultimately could help him carve out a role as a quality backup at both spots. To achieve that, however, he'll first need to make gains at the plate.Last edited by tjfla; 07-31-2018, 03:01 PM.Comment

Bryson Brigman, INF – Brigman is a hit/run middle-infield prospect who had a long track record of success as an amateur. I had a second-round grade on him ahead of the 2016 draft. Pro scouts consider him to be significantly lacking in power and consider Brigman a fringe defender at short, so there isn’t even a clear path toward a utility gig here right now. But I think Brigman’s feel for contact merits continued looks. He’s a high-end makeup guy who showed some movement in his batted-ball profile last year, increasing his fly-ball rate from 20% to 28%. https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.asp...57&position=2BOriginally posted by tjfla View PostComment

Cubs apparently about to get Kintzler from the Nats according to Rosenthal.Comment

Phillies get C Wilson Ramos. Was that to keep him away from Washington? Could Nats still move on Realmuto?Comment

He’s a non prospect really. His numbers are like that because of the league he’s in. The deal was for the IFA money. The California a+ league is a ridiculous hitters leagueOriginally posted by ¿NICK? View PostComment

Kintzler was a marginal contributor. Marlins can still pitch Realmuto, Barraclough and Straily for Robles and C KieboomOriginally posted by rmc523 View PostComment

Not trading barraclough would be a ridiculous and inexcusable mistake

Also, looking at the league's batting stats this year. (At least their league leaders) And the numbers don't seem particularly inflated.Originally posted by ¿NICK? View PostComment

What does "uh" mean? Is there a Marlin fan who wouldn't make that trade? Marlins get their CF and a SS/2B for the next five years.Originally posted by rmc523 View PostComment
