April 20, 20169 yr http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20160420 Kanny playing now. Birmingham also a day game. Edited April 20, 20169 yr by flavum
April 20, 20169 yr Walk and a SB for Engel. He has such a weird batting line right now. .229 BA but he also has a 156 wRC+.
April 20, 20169 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 11:35 AM) Tanner Banks with a morning shutout. Kannapolis won 1-0. And who is Tanner Banks?
April 20, 20169 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 12:58 PM) And who is Tanner Banks? Non-prospect, unless something has changed. 2 year starter at Great Falls. He's had success, but nothing special about the stuff. 24 years old in Kanny. Impressive game he had today, though.
April 21, 20169 yr Just a small point, but why is Jacob May batting last? He's a key prospect and is missing out on an at bat most nights because of that. I'd like to see Delmonico play some OF, if he's capable. Don't really need these DH/1B.

I'd like to see Delmonico play some OF, if he's capable. Don't really need these DH/1B. On May, I am pretty sure it's a protective thing. Remember, this is a guy who missed a big chunk of his AA season, and since he was recovering from his concussion (and the absence in general) that late season stint probably wasn't as developmentally helpful as they'd like. He was promoted to AAA anyway, and I think they want to keep the pressure at a minimum, let him slowly acclimate. Which I agree with. As for Delmonico, he's really a 3B, but has struggled defensively there. So he's been some 1B and DH too. That profile doesn't exactly scream outfielder. Also, the club really does need 1B more than 3B right now, prospect-wise. And the outfield is probably the strongest position of prospect depth they have. I'm guessing that either Hayes gets demoted or Davidson leaves the org in the next few months, then Delmonico can go to Charlotte.
April 21, 20169 yr Recap Posted. Quite a few starting pitchers are opening the season well. And even the ones who didn't, like Fulmer and Danish, have improved each start. Offensively though, the system hasn't looked so good. The exception is outfielders, a number of whom have been doing quite well. That Dash offense is really bad. Which I think we all predicted.
