boring dsl game.

A poster bumped an old thread when we were more optimistic about these relievers that a full year later looks funny.

This post was from 2018

Pretty sure I will find this list infinitely more watchable than much of the 15-30, especially the relievers. Gladney, J Rodriguez, Beard made top 30 which is nice.

This aged well

Banuelos shelled in rehab appearance in AZL

Cam Simmons from UVA just hit a homer. He’s now at .292 / .804 ops in Kanny. Feels like he’s played a lot less in Kanny but he’s had the kinda start you’d hope to see from an older prospect.

Cool. At some point a Sox person said they likely would not pitch in games the rest of year. Glad we’ll see a few reports

Did this come from Hahns presser?

I'm just saying it's not like those PPD games that are from like March when we get excited and then realize it's not a new development.

Still though, not like the HR was from April. Glad to see him hit one.

Excellent info in Fegans latest on Collins swing change : https://theathletic.com/1112494/2019/08/02/luis-robert-nick-madrigal-and-zack-collins-search-for-purpose-in-triple-a-whether-its-there-or-not/ “But upon his return from Chicago, Collins not only reached out to set up work with Menechino, but was willing to quickly incorporate his recommended stance and hand placement changes, which might be uncomfortable for a while as he incorporates them midseason (though they’re made more comfortable by good early results). The larger goal seemed to be keeping Collins from leaning too hard into a strikeout-laden, three-true-outcomes identity that has come to define him.” small excerpt

Well said.

I'm hoping that skole is just for this weekend since he can play a position, then yermin is called up when we get the dh back.

I'd be interested to see the vids from his first half last year in birmingham. There was a time when they were trying to smooth out his hitch and he ditched it because it was affecting his production/felt unnatural and he went back to his college swing and was raking for a bit. I wonder if this is back to that swing or a modified version of it he's bought into.

Better yet, promoted!

Yeah I think Walker is most likely to make majors for a decent career, Adolfo best to make it as a starter. Decent career means longevity not necessarily starter. Adolfo > Basabe > Walker > Gonzalez > Rutherford

yeah I'm glad they tried it immediately and it wasn't during a meaningless september.

this has been quite the slog, almost like day games so I can only follow on gameday

so jenderrson caraballo, a 2016 signee that had a decent first year then disappeared, started today in DSL with a performance. He never k'd many, but didn't allow a lot of hits and had a good era. No idea if he had TJS or what. Probably not that interesting anymore

plus I believe they are in good spot for playoffs.

They weren't wrong on Aiken, they drafted him, and he had an incredibly poor medical. You can't really predict that.
