Eagles27 Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Not a fan of our second round pick. Hopefully he comes in well under-slot, but there were some good players available. The system desperately needs talent, so reaching for a guy who wasn't ranked in the first 3-4 rounds is disappointing. Hopefully we're going heavy on prep players with upside tomorrow.

Mesa_Titan Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Sounds like we got some real good value on the catcher Cal Raleigh in the 3rd and Gerber in the 8th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mesa_Titan Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I don't understand why you pitch to Trout there. 2 outs, man on second. Walk him every damn time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, especially after he took Cook deep yesterday too. They need to start making the rest of their lineup do something. Stop giving Trout pitches to hit.

Mesa_Titan Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Seager is an embarrassment this year. We need a new 3rd baseman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathetic ending there after Kimbrel got himself in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagles27 Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Hamels isn't great, but he's probably the best we can realistically hope for. I don't want to trade any of our few decent prospects for a pitcher when we're going to be facing the Yankees/Red Sox in a 1 game playoff. (assuming we don't blow the WC) With his salary and option/buy-out he shouldn't cost much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And would be a decent insurance for a potential Leake-Gonzalez-LeBlanc blow up/injury/fall back to earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagles27 Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 Good news & bad news on the prospect side today. We signed 1 of the top IFA prospects. #7 on MLB.com #4 on BA #9 on Fangraphs Noelvi Marte This is one of the more exciting power hitters in the class. Marte has thunderous, pull-side power that should be plus at peak, perhaps more. He has a long, slow leg kick that doesn't add much right now as most of Marte's power comes from pure hand speed and strength. With broad, tapered shoulders and a sizeable lower half, he body comps to Jonathan Schoop. His size prohibits projection at shortstop on its own, and Marte's hands and arm are also problemtatic. Realistically, he projects to third base. He has the raw power to profile there comfortably if he hits. but Sam Carlson had TJ surgery... https://www.instagram.com/p/BkvbdexAtgq/?utm_source=ig_embed Been a terrible year for his development. Spent the whole season rehabbing just to have TJ anyway. Won't see him until 2020, and probably not in the majors until at least 2024.
