So are Morel and Flowers about to be traded since they aren't playing? Interesting our 2 best prospects on that team aren't in the lineup.

Is Jon Gilmore a real prospect?

If he could play SS he would be. That sub .100 ISO is pretty sad.

 

He's still young though, so maybe some power will come.

Where is Jordan Danks? Is he injured?

Danks has a hip injury

Did Salgado get a hit tonight? Do we need to start the old Buddy Biancalana David Letterman skit for him?

Nice start for Holmberg. 7 shutout innings. Didn't walk anyone.

I would bet more on the fact that Flowers only plays like every other day anyway for some reason, and Morel tore his labrum 2 days ago....

Jon Gilmore with a solid 5/6 day, but had an error. It is listed as his 28th error. 28!! Can that be for real?

1 perfect inning for Sale with 1 K.

He makes mark Teahen look like Omar Vizquel.

 

Speaking of which, maybe Omar should have a clinic in the offseason for Gilmore.

And I think he's on the DL now, they added Kyle Shelton from W-S to the roster.

Look at his slugging percentage from last year to this year. It's a marked increase and based on his numbers from past seasons I would say that he's still very much a work in progress so there is potential for him to improve. Next season will be the litmus test for him.

Yes, it's for real, the man is a butcher, I hope that playing 3B he has a good arm so he can be moved to the outfield if he doesn't improve his D in the next season.

His SLG has risen because his BA has risen, not because his power has increased. When looking strictly at power, ISO is a far better indicator than SLG, and Gilmore's ISO is only very slightly better than last year.

I like Gilmore alittle more than some.. but I think people are gonna be even more disappointed if/when he moves up to that Barons ballpark with his under-developing (so far) power, unless he still wants to continue to hit .330+.

Given he's not actually a power hitter, the big park will help with his BABIP, not that it needs any.

Shirek calming down a bit, looked OK but not great. Hopefully he finds a groove again, because when he was rolling, he looked like he was headed for AAA.

 

Serafin not adjusting well to High A so far.

 

As for Gilmore, hard to read a whole lot in to # of errors, but that is a big number. His lack of power worries me less than others, because he hits for high average and its a lot easier to AVG into SLG than the other way around.
