Hadn't seen any mention of hit, but he's hitting well over .300 with 3 HR's already. He got big money and I know there was talk about how legit he is and if he's really as young as they say but either way its good to see him producing.

Is he gonna stay there or go back to Bristol or Great Falls?

I assume if he rakes we'd see him go to short season, but he could just stay there as well. It wouldn't shock me either way as the young dominican guys can get brought up really slowly and he is still incredibly young, even if his age is wrong by a year or so.

 

Oh and it is in just 6 games (3 hr's, 11 RBI's).

Remember how fast he started out last year? Hopefully he can keep this one going.

Good to see him producing even if it's only the DSL. Hopefully he'll go to Great Falls in a few weeks and get some PT there b/c if they hold him out of rookie ball after being in it last year, that's not a good sign. I just hope he's not like 2 years older than we think.

If we can get anything out of him, that is great. After the mess he was involved in, I have written him off.

That kid looked every bit of 14.

 

After 10 games the DSL Sox are 10-0. Silverio with 4 HR and 16 RBI. Also at this point in his career he's an error machine at SS.

Damn, that's impressive for any league. We must either have some really good talent there or guys too old to be playing in that league. Hopefully the former.

In Silverio's case he just turned 18 . Didn't have a particularly impressive season at Bristol especially with the glove. But he's very young with tons of upside.

Isn't he it the one they found out is three years older?

It was speculation by Bureau, but whether true or not, we really don't know.

There's also another SS in the DSL that is only 19 and he's been hitting the ball very well, don't have his name in front of me but he's got a great OBP, high BB, low K's but less power. Another interesting MI prospect. Less errors than JS too.

He's still raking:

 

.339/.387/.688 6 HR 33 RBI 5 2B 8 3B

 

Think it's about time to move him back to Bristol?

 

I'm sure his D is still raw, but good to see him mashing....

He has 8 errors so far which would put him on pace for approximately 50 in a 162 game season. Maybe a move to 3B or a corner OF spot is in his near future.

It seems every young prospect I have read about lately has a ton of upside but is lacking in defensive fundamentals. I am trying to recall the last homegrown infielder who made it all the way through A/AA/AAA ball and to the bis without changing their position.

It's pretty common for a young player to make a ton of errors at such a young age. I am not worried about that, he will learn the position and become much better better. But, yeah, it's about time to get him back to Bristol and see if he can hit in American ball/

I'd be more worried about his age than his errors.

I know it's only the DSL, but 21 of his 50 hits have been of the extra-base variety (7 HR, 8 trp, 6 doubles). .327 BA, .608 SLG. Unfortunately, he's also got 12 errors, but at least he's not taking his glove to the plate.

Disappointing that not only is he not advancing from a year ago, but he is down a level from a year ago.

I think that it was pretty evident that he was in over his head in Bristol last season, maybe he'll get to move back up at some point this season though.
