But then why do the defensive framing stats show they’re bad at it?

You're asking the wrong person, my guy.

Cannon looks like he could be a Paul brother.

He sure does.  I wonder if he can box or wrestle?

Cannon gives it up to 5'8 manlet that weighs less than my wife.

You've heard of a MLB popup. That was a little league popup from the wee man fletcher.

Massey is 6 foot and 195.  Local kid from Palos Park.  Went to Brother Rice High School.

Yikes.  Dude just does not look like he is ever going to hit, and it doesn’t look like his small stature helps his case at all…

Glad the Sox already taught Vargas how to chop the ball into the ground

Hi Chris. 
You're right.

He's a monster, Cannon didn't have a chance.

I didn’t say that but you described Massey as if he was the size of Dominic Fletcher.  He’s not that tiny.

Andrew Vaughn…  stud first baseman.

Baldwin needs a 2 strike approach.  The swing as hard as you possibly can in case you hit it approach doesn't work in the big leagues.  Just ask Lenyn Sosa.

I am pleased with how the ball jumps off his bat (gap power) when he makes contact, but he swings and misses an insane amount for someone with his power potential.

Gotta love clueless Schriffen talking up 29 year old Nick Senzel as if he’s still early in his career and ready to bust out due to his talent.

He has some sneaky juice but he swings too hard and gets himself off balance far to often.  You can get away with that against minor league pitching but he needs to be more balanced and in control to consistently hit big league pitching.  He's not giving himself enough of a chance against these guys.

Since I don’t want to poison the MILB day thread, why is every prospect seemingly struggling right now?  Montgomery, Gonzalez and Zavala…not good

Getz wasting 40 OF starts on Gavin Sheets after he traded a top 10 prospect for a 26 year old OF and a talented, controllable reliever for a 25 year old OF (both of whom had full seasons at AAA) is quite something.

All for guys who got no returns for to play there 

May need that certain song from The Sound of Music tonight after this one. Wonder if Nancy were still here if she would play it. (You know the one.)
