bmags Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Quote Jared Kelley, RHP, White Sox The White Sox’s second-rounder made an immediate impression in Arizona. He flashed three plus pitches, including a fastball up to 97 mph, to go with signs of command, a sound delivery and impressive poise for his age. Kelley got noticeably heavier between the spring and fall and evaluators noted they would be concerned if he got any bigger, but for now it’s not an issue. Also damn board fav priester sounds like he's off to a good start Quinn Priester, RHP, Pirates Priester blossomed from a projectable righthander with a low-90s fastball into a physical force who sat 96 mph and touched 99 mph this year. His curveball added power to become a borderline 70-grade pitch as well, and he did it all without sacrificing his advanced strike-throwing ability. Evaluators considered him arguably the top pitcher in Florida and didn’t hesitate to put front-of-the-rotation projections on him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Let’s hope he can keep his weight where it’s at, a little alarming he got heavier since the spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh. These guys are not living normal lives. I will be more worried if it happens once he is in a real camp situation. I am guessing a lot of guys lost it once they went home.

Weight has always been an issue for him though, so while there may be a semi-acceptable reason it’s definitely something to keep a close eye one.

Cmon. Who hasn't put on some quarantine weight? And anyways, I think pitchers can be successful and fat.

Just my opinion, but I think there is a difference between Chris Getz hyping up prospects in a random interview and people like James getting intel from people in the know.

Hopefully he develops some power. Got to love the tools and advanced approach at the plate at such a young age, but it’s so hard to really to know much at this point given he still hasn’t made his stateside debut. I personally hope they push him to Kannapolis next year, but that would be aggressive and I’m guessing it’s going to be a packed OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 I forgot the interview but Getz has said placement will be more about playing time than appropriate levels. Still here is a guess that I’m sure I’ll miss someone big on WS C - Green, K Sanchez INF - Y Sanchez, Sosa, Zangari, Quintero, Nunez OF - Bush, Mieses, Comas, Allen P- Martin, Bilous...I unno Kannapolis C - Torres, Goldfarb INF - Ramos, Rodriguez, Polanco, Gladney, Mendoza OF - Beard, Glass, Krogman, Coronado, Guerrero P - Thompson, Dalquist, Kelley, Horn, Pineda So yeah a whole lot of players unaccounted for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mieses & Comas to A+ is incredibly aggressive, but at the same time if the goal is to get all these guys playing time then some will have to be stretched to your point. I’d also expect Delgado, Weaver, Curbelo, & Abbott to see full season action somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Even with another month in AZL before it needs to stock draft prospects, I’d rather the AZL outfield of 2019 get to full season ball than worry about Mieses and comas who have had a very gradual pushing to date. I like them both. The hardest ones are weaver and Delgado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of now I have this: High-A Winston-Salem: OF: Bryce Bush, Duke Ellis, AJ Gill, Jon Allen. INF: Sam Abbott, Luis Curbelo, Yolbert Sanchez, Lenyn Sosa Catcher: Evan Skoug and Gunnar Troutwine. Low-A Kannapolis OF: Comas, Mieses, Coronado and Weaver Infield: Ramos, Gladney, Rodriguez, Delgado, maybe Mendoza. Catcher: Tyler Osik Chase Krogman could end up in Low A OF. I think Glass and Beard are definitely back in AZ though. Lots of decisions to make. Edited January 2, 2021 by Y2Jimmy0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
