April 25, 201015 yr You bastard. Start the post with nothing in it and edit later to make it look like you were first.
April 25, 201015 yr The Purple Phallus beat up a pretty good pitcher in Tim Melville. That's good to see.
April 25, 201015 yr How has Morel been looking so far this season? Defensively? Anyone seen him play so far?
April 25, 201015 yr I haven't seen Morel play, but what I have seen, you'll never have to worry about his defense. The guy is stellar over there.

April 25, 201015 yr Morel, Sierra (from Shakira's hometown) was 4/5 with two doubles, Gilmore and Kenny Williams, Jr., with offensive honors. Trayce Thompson 1/3 with another 2B. Batting .344, did make a fielding error. A catcher (Sierra) that weighs 150 pounds? Is that accurate? Edited April 25, 201015 yr by caulfield12

April 25, 201015 yr Is it just me, or has it seemed like Flowers has not been playing much lately? Did not play the 18th, 20th, 22nd, or 25th. And we have only scored 5 runs in those 4 games that he did not play in over the past week.
April 25, 201015 yr First homer on the year for Miguel Gonzalez and Terry Doyle with 4 no hit innings so far for the Intimidators.
April 26, 201015 yr QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Apr 25, 2010 -> 06:55 PM) Gonzalez finished 2-3, 2 HR, BB. Thompson 2-3, 2B Trayce also had a SB. I'm getting real excited about this kid. I initially laughed at the Mike Stanton comparison article last year, but now it doesn't seem as far-fetched.
April 26, 201015 yr It's just frightening to think what Thompson's power potential can be. I hope scouts have good things to say about him a year from now. I hope the words "can't miss" are included.
April 26, 201015 yr Just curious, what is the ABSOLUTE best possible offensive upside of Morel? Someone like Kouzmanoff or Teahen? Or better? What are some current major leaguers you would make a comparison to...?

Always seems to be linked to this guy : http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/randajo01.shtml That's pretty good, honestly, considering the level of defense he plays.
April 26, 201015 yr Serafin a tough loss, gave up only 2 ER, but 6 R total on 4 Kanny errors. Silverio has 8 on the season already.
April 26, 201015 yr QUOTE (DirtySox @ Apr 25, 2010 -> 07:10 PM) Trayce also had a SB. I'm getting real excited about this kid. I initially laughed at the Mike Stanton comparison article last year, but now it doesn't seem as far-fetched. The 2008 Draft looks like it could be one of the best the Sox have had in a long time.

If Morel could hit .285 with 10-15 HR and 80 RBI, that would be wonderful considering his defense.

What are some current major leaguers you would make a comparison to...? Really hard to say right now. The defense seems to be there. Does he have the offensive skills to be a serious 'everyday player' type of MLB prospect? Don't know. People weren't sure last year he had the power to be an everyday 3B. But he surprised people. Then the question was whether he could hit for a high enough average... and he lead the AFL in hitting. What type of player is he really? This season should tell us alot. Edited April 26, 201015 yr by scenario
April 26, 201015 yr Those numbers sound a lot like what we'd expect from Teahen, although 80 RBI's a BIT reaching perhaps...I think most would expect 60-75 to be honest, with our offense. Randa is interesting, you'd be absolutely delighted if he (MOREL) put up those same numbers Teahen recorded with the Royals' high powered offenses a decade ago (albeit no pitching)...I think there was one year he had over 100 or close to it and around 9-12 homers, if memory serves correct.

The 2008 draft is already the best we've had in at least 10 years. Beckham by himself makes this true (although he's stinkin' up the joint right now). And TT is a 2009 draft pick by the way.

However, 2008 with Gordon-Morel-Hudson-D2 is great, though 2009 could be just as good if guys live up to potential, especially Mitchell and Thompson. Best 2 drafts they've had in a long time though.
