May 26, 201411 yr http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20140526 Leesman for Charlotte McCully for Birmingham. They are also playing their suspended game up 6-2 in the bottom of the 7th. Bucciferro for the Dash Barnette for Kanny
May 27, 201411 yr QUOTE (fathom @ May 26, 2014 -> 04:57 PM) Hawkins and his hot start seem like a long time ago. Numbers are nose diving QUOTE (flavum @ May 26, 2014 -> 07:26 PM) Hawkins 2-5 Anderson 3-5 Someone spoke too soon
May 27, 201411 yr QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 26, 2014 -> 08:41 PM) Jacob Morris went 4-5 with 4 doubles Hawkins' K numbers are escalating alarmingly, though. 17 K's in last 35 AB's. Almost down to an 800 OPS after being around 900 for most of the first six weeks. Edited May 27, 201411 yr by caulfield12
May 27, 201411 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 26, 2014 -> 09:42 PM) May? That should put him above the .200 mark now on the season. No, Jacob Morris. Iirc selected in one of the mid-20 rounds of last year's draft, hit poorly in a small-sample in college but a great athlete, considered a plus, possibly plus-plus defender in CF, high K, decent walk, power potential, low avg.
May 27, 201411 yr A meme worthy day down in Kanny today. Collected 12 hits and scored 9 runs, but your top 2 prospects went 0 for.
May 27, 201411 yr Noticed that there are a bunch of catchers throughout the system with pretty good offensive numbers, including the guy at Kanny (Omar Narvaez) who is up to .317 now. He's 22 with 5-6 years pro experience. Don't know if any of these catchers are prospects, since their names never show up on prospect lists. What say you, Northsider?

Narvaez has a lot of years under his belt, he's no longer challenged in A ball. Maybe he's very fringe at most. I personally have believed in Smith all along, because of the story behind the age. I even wrote a piece in the offseason comparing Smith and Nieto, and the conclusion I came to is that Smith probably had as much chance of MLB success in 2014 as Nieto if not more (which is to say, not very much). I think Smith could be in the mix in 2015.

I think Smith could be in the mix in 2015. I like Narvaez quite a bit, but his ceiling is backup catcher or a light hitting defensive specialist starter. When you are evaluate catchers a lot depends on their defensive abilities, skill at calling a game, rapport with pitchers; stuff that doesn't show up in a box score. He is supposedly a good defensive catcher and his caught stealing percentages are excellent, but I plead the fifth on firsthand knowledge.
