QUOTE (flavum @ May 9, 2014 -> 02:14 AM) Keon Barnum- looks good in uniform. Can't hit. Nathaniel Stoltz also had a comment about him regarding he saw him hit one ball hard in the few games he saw him, and it was foul. Seems like injuries might have prevented Barnum from ever getting his minor league career on track.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 9, 2014 -> 02:09 AM) Ok, Robin. That's enough. Considering the awful lineup he was facing, that was just a horrible start by Carroll.

Not sure if this is what is hobbling him, but Castro had a dirty slide into Abreu's ankle in the 9th last night.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 8, 2014 -> 05:02 AM) I think fathom was referring to a tweet Stoltz had yesterday (correct me if I'm wrong fathom). Stoltz responded to a tweet and said Hawkins looked overmatched in his 0-5, 2K performance. There has been other games where Stolz has noted how much quieter his hands are, how he has improved his balance and how the two strike approach is better than where it was last year. Speaking towards the system as a whole, it's been a bit cloudy lately. Just from writing the recaps there hasn't been many notable performances or strong runs outside of the few top performers. We have had the bright spots (Micah, Ravelo, Danish), some ugly performances (Davidson, Beck) and some hot and cold guys in Hawkins, Thompson and Anderson. Even so, the only performance so far that is really alarming is Chris Beck and we have had reports where his line didn't really paint the whole picture. Luckily, we still have the draft next week to give us a top 50 prospect, Davidson can only get better, and there's a handful of lower level pitchers that should be fun to watch. We also have guys like Rondon and Engel where the only need to hit a little bit to be productive hitters. Michalczewski's quietly showing an advanced game at the plate. The system did just get drained to an extent with Johnson and Semien graduating because that was the lion's share of our upper level talents. Yep, he had a tweet to CJ Wittmann Jr. where he agreed with his assessment from a few weeks ago about Hawkins. I believe that was the assessment which stated his ceiling was that of a bench player.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 8, 2014 -> 03:08 AM) 21,075 for a Cubs/Sox game. Your move Brooks Boyer Seems like it will definitely be lower tomorrow night.

21k....Gordon "Rickey Henderson" Beckham deserves more respect from the fan base.

Great, great series so far.
-
I saw where Nathaniel Stoltz inferred that he thought Hawkins was not very good. The offensive players in the system are slumping it seems.

Wow thrilled to be wrong

Awful job by Ventura of letting Russell face two lefties to start the inning.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 7, 2014 -> 02:20 AM) Pathetic. This hitting has been so bad There's not a lot of talent in this lineup right now. Injuries have destroyed this roster.
-
Have these hitters never seen a slider?
-
Insane strike zone
-
Missed that by a foot
-
Not even close to a strike. Someone wake up Robin.
-
Gold glove caliber...yeah right.
