August 14, 20196 yr Laureano homer. OPS now near 1.000 for year, he's also nearly 20 (turns 20 in october). Hard to know what sox think of this guy. Yolbert giving us the ole Yolbert 0-2. DSL slash 244/.334/.346 Last year of Cuba slash: .260 / .297 /. 302 I am yearnin for yolbert.

August 14, 20196 yr Just now, Jose Abreu said: Baseball-Reference says he's 18, turning 19 in October? Also, is he related to the other Laureano? You are right, if someone was is born in 2000, and their birthday is in october, that makes them 18 turning 19. Good ole math. Still, the lack of an AZL 2 squad in a year they actually drafted HSers has made some log jams for some nice years in DSL. Look forward to him coming stateside next year.
August 14, 20196 yr I personally am higher on Laureano than Bailey, but both are intriguing. While Bailey is a full year younger and has great eye, Laureano plays CF. I’d be interested to hear more on their defensive profile.

I think repeating DSL should raise some skepticism with Laureano, especially when so much of that class graduated to AZL.
August 14, 20196 yr I believe this was Flores first game back? He pitched really well in Birmingham, 5 IP, 6 ks, 2 ERs

August 14, 20196 yr I don't have the time or inclination, but would be interesting to know the stats posted by Rutherford, Sheets, and Gonzalez when Robert and/or Madrigal were in the Barons lineup compared to when they weren't. Seems like they were all crap in April and May, caught fire in June and July when those two were around, and are crap again.

Seems like they were all crap in April and May, caught fire in June and July when those two were around, and are crap again. I think that definitely applies to Rutherford, but Sheets has still been pretty decent, and Gonzalez actually got on a hot streak as soon as they left.

He’s potentially a 1B/DH down the road (that said, even getting a bat first player at this point is a big win for the LatAm program) Laureano didn’t graduate because it wasn’t justified, but it’s not out of the ordinary for kids at his age to adjust and improve and become legit prospects. Until there is better scouting report, I’d go with the kid who could hit and play CF.
August 14, 20196 yr Robert 1-2 with a single Madrigal 0-1 with a walk Collins 1-1 with a 3 run homer Walker finished 1-4 with a walk and a single Vaughn finished 1-5 with a 2 run double and a strikeout Edited August 15, 20196 yr by soxfan49

August 15, 20196 yr Collins now 3/3 with a HR. Prior to tonight’s game, here are his stats since his demotion: 15.1% BB rate, 19.4% K rate, .227 ISO, .320/.430/.547/.977, .375 BABIP, 149 wRC+ Obviously that BABIP is running a bit high, but otherwise his numbers have really taken a turn for the best.

August 15, 20196 yr K-Rates normalize faster than anything else too. While it doesn't mean his previous rate doesn't matter, it does say this adjustment may have a real impact on a k-rate reduction going forward.
