Another off day for Jesus?
Or reading fail. My bad.
Mike, what do you see Pirela’s ceiling as? A Luis Castillo-type?
#busts
no! 6 earned runs for Jairo. This guy is supposed to be our best pitching prospect.
No he isn’t.
Ummm yeah, I’m gonna go ahead and ask you to move your desk into the basement.
All five levels lost tonight?! Confidence level: -10
Palabrakemper is going to be a freakin’ star. Best pitcher we have in Trenton.
Strategery.
Lockbox
Yah
Mike – whats up with Slade Heathcott? He’s in EST, anything about his performance there? Any estimates on when he’ll show up in Charleston?
Wow, in retrospect that Sheffield to the Tigers deal really sucked. Oh well…..looked good at the time. Takeaway – never rely on a guy named Humberto
If Eduardo Nunez doesn’t have the glove for ss, is he a possibility for CF? has arm, speed, and appears to have a bat….
Yea he has enough athleticism to make that move. Although with Granderson and Gardner I can’t see the team moving him to CF. They’ll keep him at SS and keep him in AAA until his defense improves enough.
Please please keep it up DeAngelo. I love this kid and what I saw from him at Staten Island.
I wouldn’t be shocked if Zoilo Almonte started hitting well soon as well.
