SouthSideGeorgia Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) I realize Edgar Quero is only 21-yr old. But he has 495 plate appearances in AA combined and this season alone is raking. 0.300 BA, 4 HR, 14 RBI, 1.125 OPS Seems like a promotion is earned to AAA and hoping he can be on the Opening roster next year with Korey Lee.

SoCalChiSox Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Yep...this is one of the few positions I am actually excited about for the future. Quero/Lee should be a very solid catching duo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be starting over Maldonado right now. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an unbelievably dumb trade by the Angels and they made multiple stupid trades last year in desperation mode to make the playoffs with Ohtani when realistically that was never happening. Even if none of the prospects they traded ever amount to anything it was dumb because they traded a bunch of assets for expiring contracts and did so without getting back a legitimate difference maker.

zisk Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Drew Thorpe on the bump tonight. Going for 3rd win in 3 starts. He might be promoted to the bigs with no stop at AAA. Charlotte can make any pitcher look like garbage. Let alone a finesse guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Sox Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) I’d let him do his thing in AA a while longer. He was rushed to the level last year and did a good job keeping his head above water, but this year he looks much more comfortable and aggressive in the box. Let him work with that approach for a little while and refine his defense. He just turned 21 a couple weeks ago. Lots of time.

If he succeeds there, it is a really good sign. Birmingham is a pitchers park. I want to see hitters who can hit in Birmingham and pitch in Charlotte.

He’s 24, fully grown and the right size for his height. He’s already worked out his pitch repertoire and he’s not apt to gain more velocity at this stage. Once the MLB team finally rids of Flexen and Soroka as starters, I say promote Thorpe directly to the bigs with no stop in Charlotte. Going with a rotation of Crochet, Nastrini, Cannon, Thorpe and Fedde would give us something to watch most night. Clevinger obviously impacts that, but they could go to a six day rotation, or Clevinger or Thorpe could spell Crochet from alot of innings. (i would not say the same on Iriarte, would needs to gain weight at this stage. But at least he is performing well) Edited April 18 by SouthSideGeorgia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee looked bad at the end of last season but he took those struggles and obviously put the work in during the offseason....love to see that.

I think it'll be more telling if he can continue to miss bats against more advanced hitters. He's going to live and die based on his k rate imo.

I wouldn't promote him to Charlotte. The barons are winning. Let him be a part of that. Learn to be on winners. Charlotte will frustrate him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
