Nvm Carlos tha God

Amado Nunez 2-2 with 2 2Bs

Also worth noting Gonzalez after a slow start has been on fire in August with a .400 OBP

We don't talk about it a lot, but damn Al Albuquerque is a great name.

What a perfect night. Now Moncada go homer 4x

Sorry I can't embed but video of double https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/897984480807354368

This kid is ridiculous

Awesome night so far

That is a good question.

Dan Hayes is in Birmingham btw

This guy is legend

Well Adolfo too who has turned it around some. We definitely need one of these guys to hit. Was really hoping for a better year out of Nunez, really could use some MI prospects

Would like some big offense today, it's been pretty quiet.

So because it's usually first to drop I've been following DSL. I've noticed almost all of the bigger names from our 2016 draft (Guerrero excluded) are performing pretty well. I thought I'd put this here since it's interesting. Does it mean we have a bunch of stars? No. Just thought I'd do the work so it's easier and because I often mix up who these players are. Assume all are 17 unless listed. OFFENSE THE ONES YOU KNOW Let's get the big dogs out of the way. BTW like most of this class is OF so they haven't played too many games. (OF) Luis Robert 20 yo- .285 / .500 / .463 - good job good effort we all know of him. (OF)Josue Guerrero - .201 / .263 / .363 - 35% k rate, and 3 home runs. He has power, the .150 is h iso isn't bad. Not making contact yet however, and the scouting report aside from sox according to badler was long/loopy swing. THE NEXT TIER (OF)Luis Mieses - 428k - .265 / .307 / .318 no HRs, 3 3bs. Nice 17% k rate but only 9 walks. (OF)Anderson Comas - 425k - .295 / .320 / .338 5 2bs. 18% k rate, again only 7 walks. here was some comas quotes: -BADLER (SS/2b) Lenyn Sosa *IN AZL!!* - .265 / .325 /. 327 - Only a 13% k rate, and an 8% walk rate. 1 home run already. Really impressive for someone his age. Here was a sample: The Surprises © Kleydar Sanchez - 50k - .350 / .392 / .394 15% k rate, 4 walks total. Smaller guy at 5'10 that showcased as OF, but sox took a look at C and put him there. Badler said he had a good arm and was fluid behind plate. (OF) Anthony Coronado - $150k - .282 / .379 /.472 4 HR and 19 2bs. Best power of the 17 year olds. Here was Badler at time The bad? 27% K rate (though he has power) and a 9% walk rate. But again, a better .iso than Robert. THE PITCHERS Caraballo - 350k - The good? 2.33 ERA The fun DSL stuff? 34k and 24 BB in 54 IP. Herrerra - 50k - The good? 2.24 ERA with a more respectable 44k and 16 bb in 64 IP. 1.04 WHIP. Pineda - 50k and is 19, not 17. The good? 3.83 ERA and only 13 walks in 56 IP. The not so good, only 37Ks at an older age. All quotes courtesy of http://www.baseballamerica.com/internation...EZ4YhwVgfrRD.99

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 11:34 AM) Yeah give me the big crowds for the playoffs, but for a regular season game 20-25k is perfect. Yep. It is a bit annoying when only half the vendors are open.

Yeah, US open has had a pretty nice run of storylines recently though, due for a clunker.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 09:50 AM) It is a 1250% ROI. I'd be cool with that. Oh most definitely. But Disney is about to get into streaming. That is just the tip of the iceberg. And all of the new entrants are going to go to MLBAM for technology and expertise, or would have. Disney is about to drop a billion in content, I'm just surprised they didn't get more.

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 11:13 PM) Thanks, man. I live NW of ATL so BHam is only an hour and a half..two hours from the house. Been wanting to go check out the Barons on a Kopech night but the rest of the roster was never anyone warranting the drive. With Jiminez and Collins up, Kopech night would be great to catch. Nice, let us know if you go.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 09:35 AM) I'd argue GarPax were quicker to embrace trades and rebuilding than Kenny. Dude. This hurts me to read. One - different sport and levels of contention Two - Kenny did much more to extend the competitive window of a championship team than they did Three - the vision the sox have shown in their rebuild and, to date, acute timing of the market to maximize returns and show fans what they are intending to do was 1000x fold better than garpax But that the drama in the bulls org is so much worse than KW drama says soemthing. The lying, backstabbing, trashing reputations, and then failing in EVERY attempt to replace the player you said was trash was the most embarrassing episode in Chicago sports in my lifetime IMO. They have pretty much destroyed the NBA for me.

It's funny because EL is the low man on Cease but seeing him in top ten made me realize how little I think about him. Cease is a really good prospect that would have been our like #2 guy last year.

If I had guessed prior to this I would have imagined them getting a crap ton more. That thing has been a straight up cash cow in a time when people are paying a ton of money for content and are waiting for the returns. But, hope the sox put that $50 million into getting these prospects as good as possible.
