Countdown to Opening Day

You we haven’t really had a pitching prospect who has taken the reign and dominate unlike the last two years with Joba and Hughes.
Nevertheless, Montero is racking like crazy. With his bat, I don’t care position he plays, the guy has the type of potential with the bat that is just extraordinary, especially if he can stay at catcher yikes.
McAllister comes pretty close.
Hey Mike A what did you thought of Kershaw yesterday? I though he looke impressive and his stuff looked just nasty.
I only saw clips on BBTN. He looked fine, but I read somewhere that he only used two pitches all day, his fb and curve.
According to Gameday, he seemed to also be using some sort of mid 80s splitter.
Edwar Gonzalez belongs in AAA he is killing AA right, abusing LHP his OPS is 1.118 this guy needs to take Porter or somebody’s job up there.
He was 25 in high A before getting his promotion. He’s had 62 ABs in AA. They haven’t even had the chance to see what happens when the league adjusts to him. You don’t promote a guy every time he goes through a couple good weeks. Especially when he had to sit in High A until he was 25. It’s much more likely that he’s on a flukey hot streak than it is that he’s turned a corner.
I’m sure we will see Traber gone when they bring up Robertson
Nice to see Monetro back after coming out 2 days ago.
If Edwar moves up to AAA he’s be flying up the system after spending a few years in A+
I think it may have clicked w/ him, I mean look at his RISP numbers, SLG %, OPS and AVG, and low strikeout rate, I’m gonna over do it w/ him but his stats remind me of someone in Colorado. Except that guy in Colorado is stronger than Edwar and more polished and Edwar may be 1/3 of what he is.
Might as well give him a shot, right handed bat that’s producing thus far
Fowler?
The guy you’re talking about was hitting .307-.361-.505 in the big leagues when he was Edwar’s age. The two are worlds apart.
who’s this player?
Matt Holliday
Mr. Holliday. At least that’s who I believe A.D. was referring too.
Brandon eluded to him, I personally doubt Edwar will really be anything like Holliday
oh wow.
to be fair holliday came out of freggin nowhere, but not everone can just turn it on like that.
What do you think of promoting Cox to the Majors instead of Veras?
Veras has been pitching very well. Everyone’s allowed to have a bad day once in a while.
I think they want to get Cox more time in the minors coming off surgery…but I do like the idea of Robertson
Seems like that Betances argument – somebody over at the Pending Pinstripes comments section made – is quite accurate.
Less hits, more walks; Less walks, more hits. . .
he’s 20–give him time
Mike, when do you think they shut Dellin down–70, 90, 100 innings? something less or more?
You got me. He’s at 55 IP now, and it’s only mid-May. I hope they’ll let him get him get to at least 100 IP this year, preferably 120.
Steven White to the pen didn’t look so hot today
“The guy you’re talking about was hitting .307-.361-.505 in the big leagues when he was Edwar’s age. The two are worlds apart.”
yeh and I know and that is not realistic enough to compare him to Matt, Matt Holliday in AA 22 yr. .276/.375/.391, when Edwar struggled in A+ at age 24 he hit .259/.300/.382 he just for whatever reason couldn’t get it going but I’m not going to blindly say he is a Matt Holliday no one can say that like Whozat said he might be on a hot streak, he started in A ball this season w/ a clip of .279/.319/.559.. 878 OPS not only that was getting clutch hits for Tampa just like he did in A ball a few yrs. ago. Right now you take Edwar’s 2008 A ball plus AA ball his numbers look like this
2008 at age 25 in 194 ABs .309/.341/.546 and an OPS of .888
he has 8 HR and 35 RBI in 28 less ABs in AA he already is 1 RBI away from tying his total of 18 in A ball. It’s something to hope for he is a better defender than Matt but IDK if he is as good of a hitter yet, though the projections do look nice.

Looking forward to Horne making his return, really see what he can do
In terms of his injury status and overall potential what’s up with Abe Almonte? Taking into account his age and level he seems to have a pretty special blend of power and speed…or is that me just overhoping?
He is only 19 yrs. old, but has good numbers, so far. Give him time, he’ll move, maybe even this year27/08?
