June 6, 20178 yr 71 pitches for Rodon. Couldn't get out of the 3rd. 5 er, 2 bb, 6 k's. Gave up two doubles, HR, single among 4 hits over 3 1/3.
June 6, 20178 yr QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 05:20 PM) 2B Danny Mendick hitting .296/.385/.493 at W-S, good for a 142 wRC+. Was name-checked on Fangraphs' fringe prospects a few weeks back. Old for the level, good for a promotion I would say. Slightly OT, but Carson Cistulli's track record of finding undervalued players on the fringe 5 is very impressive.
June 6, 20178 yr QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 04:50 PM) Slightly OT, but Carson Cistulli's track record of finding undervalued players on the fringe 5 is very impressive. Yep. A team could do much worse than just use that list for the 'throw-in' part of big trades.
June 7, 20178 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 7, 2017 -> 01:11 AM) The dude Dunning threw at, hit a 3-run homer. Good for him, that was BS by Dunning
June 7, 20178 yr QUOTE (daggins @ Jun 7, 2017 -> 01:44 AM) Dunning doing weird things. 9 outs, all K's He's definitely not the type of pitcher I was expecting reading the scouting reports coming into the year.
June 7, 20178 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 07:11 PM) The dude Dunning threw at, hit a 3-run homer. That must've angered him. 10 Ks for Dunning through 4.
June 7, 20178 yr With Stephens, Guerrero, Adams, Danish, Hickman...we're starting to have the makings of an impressive bottom 10+ in starting pitching depth. 1. Kopech 2. Lopez 3. Giolioto 4. Hansen 5. Fulmer 6. Dunning 7. Stephens 8. Adams (8/9 could be flip-flopped) 9. Guerrero 10. Hickman (I know this is a reach, but have to root for a TJ kid from Chicago Public Schools who ends up at Iowa for baseball of all places). 11. Danish 12. Pineda (haha, well, just because of his family connection) Edited June 7, 20178 yr by caulfield12
June 7, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 07:26 PM) 5IP, 0 ER, 11K for Dunning 18IP, 4 ER, 23K for the Eaton trade boys Free The Draken
June 7, 20178 yr In DSL Coronado was 4-4 with 2 doubles. J Guerrero was 1-5. Mieses had 3 hits. All of those were 2016 signings? I think.
June 7, 20178 yr Author QUOTE (daggins @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 08:29 PM) Bernardo Flores and Matt Cooper too. And Luis Martinez. All three of those guys should be ahead of Danish & Hickman.

June 7, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 09:24 PM) 3-4 2b for Moncada Not at all surprising it took him a week or so to get back into any sort of rhythm after the thumb issue.
June 7, 20178 yr Forgot about Cooper...the other ones, not so familiar with. As far as Hickman goes, there was a lot of talk in the Midwest that he could go in the second round (or even late first) at one point during that draft season. He obviously fell (later).
June 7, 20178 yr Definitely get acquainted with Bernardo Flores. Good sleeper pick. Hickman could be interesting, haven't read reports on the stuff, old for his level but lost two years to TJ, so that would make sense.
June 7, 20178 yr QUOTE (daggins @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 07:43 PM) Definitely get acquainted with Bernardo Flores. Good sleeper pick. Hickman could be interesting, haven't read reports on the stuff, old for his level but lost two years to TJ, so that would make sense. Hickman was a staple in the Hawkeyes’ starting rotation this season, finishing at 9-2 and posting an ERA of 2.99 in 16 starts. Previously, the junior had been a two-way player (catcher as well) before switching solely into a pitching role in 2014. He started five games and appeared in 12 more that season, finishing with a 3.93 ERA. Hickman’s other hometown team, the Cubs, originally drafted him as a catcher in 2012 in round 20. But as he made the switch to the mound, scouts became intrigued by his big frame (220 lbs.) and his potential as a power pitcher, especially after he topped out at 96 mph. However, this spring the interest dropped slightly, as Hickman failed to keep his velocity late in games and struggled controlling his breaking ball. Even so, his physical ability gives him the potential to move up the minor league system of the White Sox, and a chance to play professional ball for the city he grew up in. dailyiowan.com Edited June 7, 20178 yr by caulfield12
