A deep dive on some position players in the low minors First, Siani got to AA after finally mastering A+ started terribly but it's heating up White is struggling. Cheng maintaining a little power (5hr) but striking out too much. Almost .800ops last 30 days though. Bowen struggling. Brannigan with po...

Notes on that no hitter broadcast Announcer talking no hitter after 3. Some would complain about the jinx but that talk is done and dusted. Talking about it is just fine. Saying pirates fans are spoiled always winning the division Saying cmon football isn't taking baseball over. If baseball was play...

Yeah that's what i thought. And over Bins right now. Maybe Bins is rehabbing.

Anyway...

Delay was back catching yesterday at AAA

Someone that follows the minors much closer than me said Koch is a lazy bum on defense. I guess we'll see for a game or two

YDLS was 2-2 yesterday with 2bb and 4 steals. Got up to .407avg. I didn't check today's yet. Must be good

¤ Suwinski (F) had a chance to become a big part of the organizion but swung and missed

A+

Watched the opportunity go by

Better

54g in 25-29 I'm going to rank the players performance vs our expectations. S - breakout so far A - top of reasonable expectations B - optimistic expectations C - expectations D - pessimistic expectations F - Bust for the year so far Starting with the most important players First the team grades. Ov...

to make it a club does it need 2 ice cream sandwiches between 3 pieces of bread?

Nick Gonzales 50ab 13rbi .300 and looking the part

Olivares hasn't been a complete dud

she almost sounds hot

Lol

When is the last time they lost 2 games in a row where they had a grand slam?

Rough especially with the 2 dynamos pitching

Davis pinch hit double last night and now 3-5 so far with 2 more hr (6) (49ab) batting .327/1.252

Gorski again (7)
Nunez again (6)

Fellows pitching in altoona so far 16 8h 9bb 16k 1.69era 1.06whip .151avg. Anyway pitched more innings this year than his professional career at 26yo

The Bart thing is funny right now

After crying about losing the catcher to the giants last year in rule 5... can't even remember his name and being so excited about Davis

favorite things of the season so far:

Watching Chapman and Jones. Team pitching. Infield hits. 5-4-3 double plays


worst things to watch this year:

Bednar. The defense. Cutch.

This Chapman one is the one i keep thinking about.

great call http://www.fifthavenueforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3738&p=1217326&hilit=bullpen#p1217326 Just take solace in the fact that your freezing cold take isn’t even the worst take on that page. LL invested a good bit of energy trying to say nice things about rowdy After i totally lambast...

Agreed with Forrester. Yeah wasn't sure what stage Plaz is in. Ydls stunk last year too after call up. Maybe cook him a bit more. It's a big jump. Rivas does fine in the complex but puts up the worst numbers in the league 2 years in a row at bradenton

They pretty much already replaced everyone at bradenton after the atrocious start and since they've been the hottest offense in the league (except Polanco and Rivas) They've gotten solid performances from all kinds of guys now Maguire Bishop Harrison Eddyrod Valdez Forrester Delgado Jerez Alfonso Ca...

Davis hr and 2b. I know 2 were off a position player but now has 4hr and an ops over 1.000 Nunez with his 5th hr showing life Peguero batting .292 .755 Gorski huh. Going all out this year with 6bb and 36k but 6hr now and ops 884 Combined with last year at AAA 166ab 10 doubles 4 trip 9hr 6'2 YDLS str...

It's the G funk era

NickG

People keep giving him fastballs. Guy even shook off 2 pitches with 2 strikes and Nicky sticks promptly drove one

uh yeah

Nick Gonzales looking strong. Even his outs he's lacing them.

Better start 7-2
