Tnetennba Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 1 hour ago, WestEddy said: That, and moving the schedule of the rookie leagues up. There's also the elimination of the short season leagues that would be the catch-all for the college draftees. That’s what I figured but don’t pay super close attention. Kind of a bummer that high schoolers won’t get a taste of pro game action for a good while now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Quote Best Changeup — Yobal Rodriguez, RHP, White Sox & Alejandro Rivera, RHP, Guardians Rodriguez and Rivera each hail from parent clubs in the AL Central, and on Sunday each of them showed off a nasty changeup. Rivera’s pitch looked and behaved more like a split-change, with the kind of straight downward drop you’d expect from such a pitch. The filthiest version came on the final pitch of his strikeout of Cardinals prospect Edward Guribe, which was Rivera’s lone strikeout of the afternoon. For the season, Rivera has 22 strikeouts in 26 innings over seven starts. Rivera’s equal in the changeup department was Rodriguez, a 17-year-old Cuban who has spent his first summer as a pro carving the competition in the DSL. He worked himself into trouble on Sunday by allowing two hits and a walk but used a filthy, fading changeup to extricate himself from the situation and provide the game with one of its signature moments. 2025 Dominican Summer League All-Star Game Superlatives: Top Players & Breakout Candidates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 (edited) Quote Max Banks, RHP, 14th Round What makes him interesting: A true starter’s arsenal, with six distinct pitch shapes, covering a wide range of pitch movements. The Washington righty has a starter’s frame with the ability to go deep into ballgames. What he needs to improve: Banks lacks a true plus pitch, limiting his upside. He’ll need to succeed as a wide-arsenal type of pitcher, where getting as many of his pitches close to average may make the sum of the parts greater than the individual pieces. If he gets to 95 mph on his fastballs, he has a chance to crack a major league rotation. Quote Caedmon Parker, RHP, 15th Round What makes him interesting: Tremendous feel for spin on all of his pitches, two fastball shapes, a changeup with 16 inches of armside movement and a hard bullet slider. What he needs to improve: This profile strikes me as a supinator profile, where Parker’s plus-plus spin rates could translate into a powerful sinker-sweeper arsenal, mixing in the four-seam, changeup and slider. With the right player dev team, this profile can take a massive leap forward.

southsider2k5 Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 1 hour ago, Squirmin' for Yermin said: yup. I hate what we've done to him this year. Regardless of what we think of it, the fact remains he is worth a ton more as a starter, and a ton less as a reliever. I always felt the same about Pallette, and it isn't that deep. Someone who is playing every day, or starting every 5th day is way more valuable, and should be ranked as such. Even the best closer is only going to log 60 to 70 innings a year.

Autumn Dreamin Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Lots of moves on the farm this week with presumably more to come soon. Most notably, Adrian Gil who has played well in AZ up to Kannapolis. And: 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Gonzalez is gonna like hitting in that park. Will be interesting to see whether the power develops now that he is out of Birmingham. If he does not hit for power, hard to see a path for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalChiSox Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Congrats to Braden. It will likely be a challenging couple months in Birmingham but that will help his growth. I assume Bonemer will be moving up to High A soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beautox Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 If Sam Antonacci contiues destroying AA do you think they'll push him to AAA for the final 10 games? at this rate if he starts AAA next year he could spend the next two years there and be "on track". His profile reminds me of a Jason Kipnis / Corey Koskie like player. Also curious what the reports are on his defense and if he can handle LF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He feels like a guy who will be part of the major league mix fairly early into next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
