Phegley homers again. His power is legit.

Phegley is hitting around .275 his last 7 games, hopefully he's coming around.

He’s need to start walking a bit more, but he’s having a nice stretch.

When Jordan Danks slumps, he really slumps.

The more I see Danks season progress, the more I think 2011 should be his estimated time for making the majors.

Seth Loman is on a tear. 4-4 tonight with a 2b and 3 RBI's

Tyler Flowers is now at .316 with a 3-3 line tonight.

It took Flowers a a few weeks to adjust to AAA, but it looks like he's on the road to figuring it out there.

Here's Holmberg's final line from the suspended game. Might have covered this before.

Does Homberg have any upside? If so what is his project AA/AAA timeframe? 2012?

He’s need to start walking a bit more, but he’s having a nice stretch.

 

He has hit 3 HR's and RBI's in his last 10 games and is hitting the ball better. I read somwhere an assesment of his backstop skills but can't remember where. Does anyone know how good of a catcher he is projected to be? Is he a project like Flowers?

I wonder how long it will take Fields to adjust to AAA.

Holmberg has a lot of upside. He had a nice selection of pitches, and a pretty profound High School pedigree. I’d mark as a potential #3-#4 starter, assuming he can pick up his strikeout rate. He’s very young, so his ETA is up in the air, but given the aggressive timetable of Buddy Bell’s system 2012 is a fairly realistic possibility.

One of my buddies was scouting the Bristol game the other night, he said Holmberg was absolutely dominant.

What talk?

I think 2011 has always been more realistic.

2012 would be awfully quick.

Very hard to put a timeline on a high-schooler but ya, he's got upside and he could be a very good one but I think any guesses right now would be very generalized.

 

If things went really well he'd hit AA in 2011 or so (that would allow for at least a full season in A ball).
