June 4, 200520 yr These two are absolutely obliterating the Carolina League. They're 1-2 in the C-league in hr's. Daigle is 2nd in hr, first in rbi, 3rd in average, and has a good obps. Collaro is hitting .285, first in hr's, 3rd in rbi's, also has a pretty good obps. I rarely hear bout these guys form anyone. Is it because it's still high a? Or are they older than what you would like from a hot prospect? Does anybody know when these two will move up to B-ham? Any info is apperciated.
June 4, 200520 yr Daigle is a little older and has bounced around a few organizations. I believe this is his 2nd or 3rd year at Single A so even though he's doing well, it's a fair assumption to say he is a non-prospect. As for Collaro, he will be 24 this year and has also had trouble advancing within the system. He has great power but strikes out a ton and rarely walks.

June 4, 200520 yr Collaro is still only 22. Age is not a big concern with him yet. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My bad, born 1983. They love his power but he is striking out quite a bit and has been in the org. for a while. I hope he makes it but the odds are against him.

I think he's one of those guys thats developing a little late but has as much power potential as anyone in the system . The big question with him is how much more they can cut down on his stroke. So far we have seen big things and a major improvement. He's always had power, the problem was he strikes out too much (still does, but he's making strides) and he wasn't capable for hitting for much of an average (thats improving as well).

June 6, 200520 yr Collaro will be eaten alive as he moves up in the org unless he starts walking more, which is doubtful.
June 6, 200520 yr Author They need to move Daigle up to Bham. I mean, lets see what we've got with this guy. Because he's totally destroying the C-league.

Collaro is doing quite well surprisingly, he did skip low A ball (he might have been there a bit before last year, never fared well. I am not crazy over him due to BB/K ratio, but he has improved immensely.
June 15, 200520 yr QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 04:33 AM) Bump! Looks like people are talking about this guy now. Kind of hard to look past those ridiculous numbers. He'll be up in bham as soon as Rogo is in Charlotte which should be coming soon.
June 16, 200520 yr I've been talking about Collaro on my blog since last year... I've got an interview with him from my post on May 6. He doesn't say much, but he does talk about working with Ibanez on his discipline at the plate. I just did a piece on daigle this week.
