June 14, 20178 yr http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20170613 Shields rehab start, weather permitting. Guerrero starting for Birmingham
June 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 07:44 PM) Guerrero gets grounders. Too early to start calling him GGG?
June 14, 20178 yr Collins is 2-2 with a HR. Obviously we'd all like to see fewer strikeouts, but his batting line is still impressive. Robert's box score on MLB Farm currently showing 0-0 with 2 BB's, 1 SB and 1 CS. Edited June 14, 20178 yr by maxjusttyped
June 14, 20178 yr Look at Collins' numbers on the season. Low BA, High K's/BB's and hits bombs. I'm not saying its a bad thing but it looks like an Adam Dunn stat line. Which, as starved for power as the Sox are, I'd happily take.
June 14, 20178 yr 2/2 in K's for Moncada. Against a rhp. Guerrero's in the top 2-3 for Southern League K's, last time I checked.
June 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 08:26 PM) Guerrero has been pretty awesome 7 out of his last 8 starts. This is more like the 2015 Guerrero.

If Collins' defensive improvements are legit and he can hit like Adam Dunn he'll end up being one of the best catchers in baseball.
June 14, 20178 yr For those that are watching a lot, why is Moncada striking out so much? Early on, he was taking a lot of strikes

Early on, he was taking a lot of strikes This last PA, that was not the case. He took 3 balls off the plate, then took a strike, then fouled a pitch off, then swung through strike 3. All of the strikes seemed to be waist high and outer part of the plate....pitches he should be able to square up and take the opposite way.

I'm not saying its a bad thing but it looks like an Adam Dunn stat line. Which, as starved for power as the Sox are, I'd happily take. His strikeouts should go down. His average should go up. I am very hopeful that his offensive slump has mainly been because of how much effort he has been putting in defense.

If Collins can put up Adam Dunn numbers with league average defense behind the plate he'd be so valuable it's ridiculous.
June 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (Nokona @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 03:08 AM) If Collins can put up Adam Dunn numbers with league average defense behind the plate he'd be so valuable it's ridiculous. I would love if he could even put up 60 pct if Dunn's power
June 14, 20178 yr Really great performances recently by the bottom half of our starting rotation guys....Adams, Guerrero, Danish (his mlb start), Hickman, and more help's on the way. Jordan Stephens. Not to mention Flores, too. Plus at the least three more pitchers on the way from the draft. Edited June 14, 20178 yr by caulfield12

At age 22 (same as Collins now) Dunn put up 56 XBH in the bigs. Collins has a long way to go to find Adam Dunn's shadow.
June 14, 20178 yr before the season began i picked Jordan Guerrero as my break out candidate and after a horrid April he has been on fire. Even in April he was still limiting walks and striking out a ton of guys. I see a lot of oft injured former Cardinals pitcher Jaime Garcia in him and if the sox can get a 3/4 out of a 15th round pick that would be quite impressive. Calling our future rotation. Giolito Rodon Kopech Guerrero Hansen

Giolito Rodon Kopech Guerrero Hansen Giving you a bullpen/trade bait in Fulmer, Adams, Dunning, Stephens, Burdi and Lopez, among others. (And our most recent draft class, as well). I would have Hansen ahead of Guerrero, though, based on pure stuff.
