July 5, 20178 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 08:44 PM) Robert out two consecutive games...any news? Wet conditions? Slight injury? He played yesterday
July 5, 20178 yr Zavala with his 3rd Winston-Salem homer...getting more and more interesting. What are the reports on his defense at catcher, again?
July 6, 20178 yr Nice clean inning for the save by Diaz. Quite the night for the 3rd and 4th pieces of the Sale trade Edited July 6, 20178 yr by fathom
July 6, 20178 yr Saladino 2 for 3 , Delmonico with 12th HR and Liriano with 2 HR's his 6th and 7th. Liriano has had a decent 11 game stretch of hitting. I'd love to see him put together a good 2nd half and come back from those terrible facial fractures and concussion from being HBP. Liriano also threw a runner out at 3rd.

July 6, 20178 yr Guerrero 6 IP 2 ER 1 BB 6 K. Man he's been money this year. Really intrigued to see 1) if he's promoted soon 2) if he gains some serious prospect steam.

But if at the end of the day he becomes Jaime Garcia, I don't think anyone here is going to complain.

But if at the end of the day he becomes Jaime Garcia, I don't think anyone here is going to complain. He doesn't have quite the stuff as our top guys (although his curve is amazing) but I really like his chances. I know me and Dan liked him alot when he was drafted (hell I chose him twice as a true sleeper prospect a few and a couple years ago when he wasn't even on a top 5-10 list and that was with a weak system). I'll gladly take a poor man's Gio or a dynamite bullpen guy if starting fails him.

July 6, 20178 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 10:13 PM) Not without a 94-96 mph FB. That Mark Buehrle guy says otherwise
July 6, 20178 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 09:43 PM) That Mark Buehrle guy says otherwise Yes, but look the Baseball America rankings then. Only Jon garland made it. Kip Wells, but not with us. Fogg and Buehrle were just #8-12 guys in the system, but had the longest careers. His helium was the immediate results out of the bullpen.

July 6, 20178 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 10:43 PM) That Mark Buehrle guy says otherwise He was never a top 100 guy which was caulfield's point. Mark was unbelievable but guys like him and his career are the exception, not the norm. That being said, I've always liked Guerrero. Kid has come a long way.
July 6, 20178 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 09:13 PM) Not without a 94-96 mph FB. From what I've heard the FB is low 90s but can run up to 94. The curve has made massive strides and his changeup is great. Plus he's a lefty, and was well liked by scouts before struggling last year. I think it's pretty silly to dismiss him.

It's human nature, especially in today's game with 100+ Mph readings all over the place. And the three guys (other than Wells) to make the biggest impacts were three finesse pitchers in Garland, Buehrle and Fogg, who was actually a reliever closer at Univ. of Florida, but even then never blew batters away with stuff.

Ah yeah sorry I misunderstood. He could definitely go under the radar. It's interesting because guys like him and Stephens/Adams might almost have a better chance of at least ending up as back of the rotation arms than say Lopez. But the upside is probably way lower of course.
July 6, 20178 yr Side note: Blake Rutherford isn't exactly lighting up A ball. Love seeing Micker far surpassing his offensive output at roughly the same age (albeit with a much higher K-rate)
