Boxes


NOTES


Spencer Turnbull was pulled in the second inning. It was probably because he had thrown 35 pitches in the inning. In that inning Charlotte had two hits, two walks and Turnbull hit a batter. Jimmy Burnette gave up five runs. Ryan Jennings was charged with one, he hasn't hit his stride in AAA yet.


Ryan McCarty, yesterdays hero, followed up with two hits. Tyler Heinemann and Joey Loperfido also had two hits each.


Nine runs with nine hits for NH. There were two home runs, Peyton Williams and Cade Doughty. Williams had a single, double and home run. He drove in four. A triple to complete the cycle will always be tough for Williams to get. Edinson Paulino had two doubles and two walks.


Grant Rogers just went four innings. He used a lot of pitches, 73, 42 strikes and 31 balls. Four relievers held Hartford to two hits.


Victor Arias doubled in the runner on second in the tenth inning to make it a walk off Sunday in Vancouver. Hillsboro's first batter in the top of the tenth also doubled but Jevon Ward to Arjun Nimmala to Aaron Parker gunned the runner down at home. Earlier the C's were down by four runs in the eighth. Nick Goodwin hit a three run home run to mae is 6-5 and later in the inning a wild pitch scored the tying run.


Arjun Nimmala walked three times, once intentionally, as Hillsboro were wary of him. He also singled. Arias also had a second double and Cutter Coffey singled and doubled.


Fernando Perez had a good start, 5.1 innings, four hits, one walk, four K's.


Chris McElvain made the rehab start for Dunedin and was charged with two runs in four innings. Silvano Hechavarria made his A ball debut and also gave up two runs, he in three innings. With McElvain and Kendry Rojas on rehab, there could be a starting pitcher logjam in Vancouver. The C's already have five starting pitchers, where do you put McElvain and Rojas?


The D Jays had ten hits, four hitters had two. Bryce Arnold homered, Lizandro Rodriguez had a triple.

I spent the weekend at the Nat. A few thoughts after I"ve had a moment to think about the Yesavage/Stanifer start. I'll start by saying that what follows may drive Yesavage fans crazy but its just a few thoughts based on one viewing. One viewing.

- On this day, Stanifer was the better prospect - Yesavage was very good and no hard contact but Stanifer was dominant - Hillsboro was waving the white flag against Stanifer at the end of his stint. This is on this day - not who is the better prospact
- I watched one of the first 2 or 3 outings of Aaron Sancbez, Noah Syndergard and Jairo Labourt in Vanvouver, I left those outings literally buzzing based on the pure stuff I saw, Yesavage didn't leave that impression.
- Yesavage was successful based on change of speeds rather than just pure stuff. I stand by my comment that his FB had very little horizontal movement - I can't comment on vertical movement as I sat directly behind home plate. His FB did not get hit hard but it didn't overpowr hitters.
- Stantifer has a delivery that makes his stuff play up. Two or three times I thought that he had delivered premimum velocity only to see 94 on the clock. The Hillsboro hitters had the same experience - no clue what the issue is but his delivery has some funk to it
- Stanifer has some variation to his breaking ball - it looked like a hard slider sometimes and more over a CV sometimes - either way it was way too much on this day.

I'll just say that I saw a Keith Law session where he described Yesavage as a Number 3 future starter. He took a lot of abuse online about that take. I think if you saw him on Saturday that would be fair take. He's more technician than stuff but that can still be elite. All of this is based on one look. They both looked good on this day.

Great stuff nigel.
Nigel - Sunday, June 01 2025 @ 11:52 PM EDT (#460803) #
To emphasize the point about single viewing. I’ve been watching C’s games for 30 years and the single most dominant pitching performance I’ve ever seen was a start by Jairo Labourt. Most of you will not remember him. He was a LH Jays prospect with a big FB. He sat (truly sat) at 96-97 and threw a wipeout SL that was unhittable. I don’t remember his final line but I think it was something like 1hit and 12ks in 7 innings. I thought I was watching a future star and look how that turned out:). Barry Zito and his big CV had a heck of a night in Vancouver one night but nothing as dominant as Labourt.

-pre season scouting report-
BA: Yesavage should move fast. He possesses mid-rotation upside, most likely as a high-end No. 4.

RoboScout sees Yesavage as a mid-rotation starter or better at peak.
Stanifer While his command still needs refinement to avoid a bullpen projection, RoboScout sees back-of-the-rotation potential based on surface performance.

I think big difference between Yesavage and Stanifer is number of pitches. Yesavage just has deeper arsenal. Stanifer from what I understand is more sinker/slider which is more of a reliver profile. Hopefully, he can develop another pitch more and there is upside there for sure.

Also Yesavage's fastball doesn't have a ton of horizontal movement but that's not abnormal or worrisome in itself. I saw a post earlier this month that showed he had 20.6 inches of verticle movement on his fastball which would be third overall in the majors so he doesn't just get verticle movement he gets elite verticle movement.

I appreciate the scouting report because always interesting to hear what people see live. I don't think projecting someone as a #3 starter is a negative at all. Very few starters project as ace-types and I'd be very happy if he is a solid pitcher for the Jays for years especially as he could be in the majors next year already.
Marc Hulet - Monday, June 02 2025 @ 07:17 AM EDT (#460806) #
Nigel's view on Yesavage pretty much mirrors mine after watching multiple Dunedin starts (via video). I said he'd continue to blow through A-ball hitters but would hit a wall at Double-A with his stuff/approach. He's very reliant on the splitter and they're just not going to chase as much at the higher levels. And I haven't seen another plus offering.

Stuff wise he's a noticeable step down from the other two big arms from the 2024 draft: Chase Burns and Hagen Smith.

Stanifer at 94 mph would be lower than statcast had him in Dunedin; he was up to 97 mph. But he also screams reliever to me because he's almost exclusively a two-pitch pitcher and very heavy on thr fastball. Again, not an approach that will be overly effective at upper levels over 5+ innings.

Both pitchers are intriguing but currently look like a No. 3/4 arm and a high-leverage reliever.

I also remember Labourt :(

Happy DSL day. Two teams now!
Nigel - Monday, June 02 2025 @ 10:27 AM EDT (#460809) #
Stanifer was above 94 with his FB. I just remember twice thinking “man that was fast” and seeing 94. There is something deceptive about his delivery. I couldn’t put my finger on it. I also couldn’t decide if Stanifer was throwing two different breaking balls or just changing speeds and shape of his slider. It was effective. Sometimes video is better than live:)
92-93 - Monday, June 02 2025 @ 10:31 AM EDT (#460810) #
Appreciate the firsthand report, Nigel. Keep em comin!
Nigel - Monday, June 02 2025 @ 10:33 AM EDT (#460811) #
I’ll just repeat that I was impressed by both but I agree with Marc that there are questions to be answered by both as they move up. Gausman makes it work with heavy reliance on just a FB/ splitter combo but Yesavage improving his SL would definitely help things I think.
uglyone - Monday, June 02 2025 @ 11:00 AM EDT (#460812) #
Not shocked by your report - the scouting reports never indicated top-end stuff from yesavage.

Then again, as a guy who loves numbers, yesavage is starting to look very very impressive.
Gerry - Monday, June 02 2025 @ 11:54 AM EDT (#460816) #
Adam Macko went five innings in the FCL today....he is ready for a higher level.

Bonilla has another hit today.
Kelekin - Monday, June 02 2025 @ 12:06 PM EDT (#460817) #
Looks like they properly split the DSL rosters.

The Jays have a few players starting on the IL, the most notable name being Franklin Rojas on the 7-day.
Mike Green - Monday, June 02 2025 @ 12:22 PM EDT (#460819) #
Nimmala walked three times yesterday. His seasonal W (12%), K (18%) and IsoP rates, and his slash line reflects a player ready for promotion. You could leave him there until the end of the first half, but anything else doesn't really serve a purpose. He's getting pitched around a lot and properly taking the pitches and this will happen more as time goes on.
Nigel - Monday, June 02 2025 @ 12:57 PM EDT (#460821) #
As you say Mike, Nimmala was pitched around a lot over the weekend. The big change from earlier in the season is that he is being more patient and swinging at few pitches out of the zone. When he swings though he doesn't get cheated:) The pitching around is probably equal parts Nimmala himself and that the rest of the C's line-up isn't overly intimidating.
Gerry - Monday, June 02 2025 @ 01:26 PM EDT (#460825) #
ESPN has updated their top 10 Jays prospects. If you click through on the King/Yesavage link in the article you get a video analysis of King and Yesavage. They love King and are unsure about Yesavage, mainly because of the way his pitches work and the lack of comps.
Kelekin - Monday, June 02 2025 @ 01:52 PM EDT (#460829) #
I know I posted about it before but lots of hitters to watch this year in the DSL - Polanco, Coronado, Sanchez, Blanco, Rojas, both Sotos, Flores, Archila, etc.

The Jays still have around 2 million to spend in the IFA market this year. I imagine we'll see some more Cuban signings, or other players that perform well in international tournaments.

Offday stats update.



Asterisk = not currently at that level (promoted or demoted)


AAA

* C Heineman (34): 7pa, 28.6b%, 0.0k%, .500bip, .500avg, .250iso, 292wrc+
* C Brooks (26): 3pa, 33.3b%, 0.0k%, .500bip, .500avg, .000iso, 240wrc+
* OF Roden* (25): 83pa, 10.8b%, 8.4k%, .371bip, .361avg, .222iso, 178wrc+
8 OF Robertson (27): 160pa, 16.9b%, 25.0k%, .341bip, .275avg, .214iso, 141wrc+
* IF Stefanic* (29): 119pa, 15.1b%, 11.8k%, .370bip, .319avg, .053iso, 141wrc+

Roden still the one clear standout in AAA this year. Hasn't really played in his 2nd callup tho.

Robertson and Stefanic both hitting well as per usual but nothing good enough to launch them out of the AAAA category.


* CF Clase* (23): 106pa, 13.2b%, 23.6k%, .438bip, .315avg, .056iso, 127wrc+
* UT McCarty (26): 23pa, 8.7b%, 26.1k%, .308bip, .250avg, .250iso, 126wrc+
* IF Rivera (24): 108pa, 17.6b%, 31.5k%, .396bip, .258avg, .157iso, 125wrc+
* OF Pinango (23): 2pa, 50.0b%, 0.0k%, .000bip, .000avg, .000iso, 122wrc+
* C Clarke (27): 45pa, 15.6b%, 13.3k%, .355bip, .297avg, .054iso, 120wrc+
* OF Loperfido (26): 212pa, 9.0%, 22.2k%, .348bip, .279avg, .142iso, 116wrc+
* 1B Tirotta (26): 149pa, 10.1b%, 33.6k%, .372bip, .261avg, .202iso, 114wrc+

All these guys having solid years but all seem to be relying a bit too much on babip tbh.


* 1B Nunez (24): 137pa, 10.9b%, 24.8k%, .300bip, .246avg, .178iso, 109wrc+
* IF Jimenez (24): 15pa, 13.3b%, 20.0k%, .400bip, .308avg, .000iso, 107wrc+
* UT Schneider* (26): 160pa, 15.0b%, 28.7k%, .310bip, .226avg, .165iso, 105wrc+
* C Sanchez* (28): 102pa, 8.8b%, 25.5k%, .295bip, .253avg, .187iso, 105wrc+
* UT Barger* (25): 45pa, 11.1b%, 28.9k%, .250bip, .211avg, .211iso, 96wrc+
* IF Wagner (26): 30pa, 0.0b%, 13.3%, .250bip, .267avg, .200iso, 90wrc+

Averagish production out of this bunch, though Barger is showing that that was likely a babip blip for him.

Anyone have any injury update on Wagner?

* IF Martinez (23): 179pa, 9.5b%, 29.6k%, .267bip, .204avg, .172iso, 78wrc+
* UT Palmegiani (25): 102pa, 15.7b%, 25.5k%, .208bip, .141avg, .051iso, 67wrc+
* C Bethancourt (33): 78pa, 9.0b%, 17.9k%, .135bip, .162avg, .206iso, 56wrc+
* IF Kasevich (24): 0pa

Might be time to start legit worrying that non-OED Orelvis might not be a prospect.

Palmegiani should be the first guy dropped if we ever get healthy enough to make this a real roster crunch here. Is Bethancourt injured?


AA

Age-Appropriate

* IF Paulino (22): 116pa, 9.5b%, 26.7k%, .324bip, .252avg, .184iso, 126wrc+
* OF Martinez* (22): 41pa, 17.1b%, 14.6k%, .222bip, .182avg, .030iso, 73wrc+
* IF Harry (22): 96pa, 10.4b%, 27.1k%, .214bip, .167avg, .107iso, 63wrc+

Paulino starting to make a move here. Held his own at AA last year despite being young for the level, and now turning it up to well above average now that he's age-appropriate. Looks like a real prospect to me.

Unfortunately Harry is really struggling after a solid start after his promotion. Don't know if he was an emergency callup or not, but he would seem to be an obvious candidate to be replaced by Nimmala.


Slightly Old for Level

* OF Pinango* (23): 192pa, 14.1b%, 21.9k%, .357bip, .298avg, .224iso, 169wrc+
* C Gilliland (23): 7pa, 14.3b%, 57.1k%, 1.000bip, .200avg, .200iso, 155wrc+
* OF Bohrofen (23): 179pa, 10.6b%, 33.5k%, .283bip, .208avg, .176iso, 99wrc+
* OF Brown (23): 88pa, 10.2b%, 27.3k%, .365bip, .260avg, .065iso, 99wrc+
* IF McAdoo (23): 153pa, 8.5b%, 35.9k%, .296bip, .194avg, .101iso, 68wrc+
* IF Dejesus (23): 85pa, 7.1b%, 37.6k%, .319bip, .192avg, .103iso, 57wrc+
* C Sharp (23): 84pa, 6.0b%, 28.6k%, .265bip, .178avg, .027iso, 56wrc+

Well deserved promotion for Pinango. Hopefully he succeeds in AAA now. Schreck the only other deserving promotion in AA right now.

Gilliland is the free agent catcher we signed last year. I have no idea why he only started playing the past couple weeks. Is he good?

Not good enough from the rest here. At least Brown has speed/defense upside here i guess.

Old for Level

* OF Schreck (24): 165pa, 15.2b%, 24.2k%, .310bip, .265avg, .257iso, 166wrc+
* UT Doughty (24): 82pa, 7.3b%, 24.4k%, .370bip, .284avg, .108iso, 115wrc+
* 1B Williams (24): 179pa, 9.5b%, 33.0k%, .299bip, .214avg, .126iso, 84wrc+
* IF Rivera* (24): 46pa, 6.5b%, 52.2k%, .333bip, .163avg, .093iso, 40wrc+

Schreck should obviously be up in AAA by now. We have a logjam it seems.

Doughty and Williams have shown signs of life recently but still nowhere near good enough to get excited about.

Then again, Rivera continues to hit in AAA despite his poor (small sample) stats here.


A+

Young for Level

* IF Nimmala (19): 212pa, 11.8b%, 17.5k%, .319bip, .291avg, .236iso, 146wrc+

Stud prospect. Promote him whenever, but no later than midseason.

Age Appropriate

* OF Arias (21): 165pa, 13.9b%, 21.2k%, .369bip, .281avg, .108iso, 124wrc+
* IF Coffey (21): 175pa, 10.3b%, 27.4k%, .330bip, .242avg, .105iso, 90wrc+

Arias has come back from injury strong. He'll be in line for a midseason promotion to I think.

Coffey holding his own but nothing more.


Slightly Old for Level

* IF Pinto (22): 85pa, 9.4b%, 16.5k%, .264bip, .284avg, .324iso, 165wrc+
* IF Harry* (22): 52pa, 9.6b%, 19.2k%, .314bip, .277avg, .213iso, 127wrc+
* 3B Keys (22): 196pa, 15.8b%, 24.5k%, .269bip, .217avg, .172iso, 114wrc+
* C Parker (22): 158pa, 9.5b%, 19.6k%, .283bip, .243avg, .164iso, 101wrc+
* OF Martinez (22): 61pa, 11.5b%, 24.6k%, .306bip, .216avg, .039iso, 80wrc+
* C Deschamps (22): 27pa, 7.5b%, 51.9k%, .375bip, .136avg, .000iso, 29wrc+

Any update on Pinto?

Too bad Harry has struggled in AA so far because the others here don't look any better.


Old for Level

* OF Micheletti (23): 163pa, 15.3b%, 17.8k%, .210bip, .203avg, .203iso, 107wrc+
* IF Goodwin (23): 129pa, 12.4b%, 19.4k%, .256bip, .224avg, .131iso, 101wrc+
* UT Orf (23): 78pa, 21.8b%, 25.6k%, .282bip, .186avg, .068iso, 98wrc+
* C Gilliland* (23): 22pa, 18.2b%, 40.9k%, 222avg, .118avg, .000iso, 26wrc+

Nothing exciting on the surface here, but Micheletti has started to surge a bit, and you can squint at his line and argue that with a normal babip he'd be looking pretty great.

Interesting that Gilliland barely stayed here - clearly they were targeting him for AA this year, which is interesting given his lack of experience, though makes sense by age.


A

Age Appropriate

* OF Shaw (20): 153pa, 18.3b%, 21.6k%, .365bip, .293avg, .179iso, 158wrc+
* OF Joseph (20): 120pa, 2.5b%, 20.0k%, .310bip, .270avg, .198iso, 117wrc+
* UT Chirinos (20): 164pa, 11.6b%, 26.8k%, .340bip, .254avg, .123iso, 110wrc+

Shaw continues to look great.

Joseph looked prospect-y last year by holding his own at this level at only 19, and now he's starting to making a move (like Pinango) now that he's more age appropriate. Looks like a prospect to me.

Chirinos solid as well.


Slightly Old for Level

* OF Munoz (21): 71pa, 9.9b%, 29.6k%, .417bip, .323avg, .323iso, 186wrc+
* C Duran (21): 177pa, 11.3b%, 22.0k%, .376bip, .302avg, .181iso, 146wrc+
* IF Beltre (21): 202pa, 10.9b%, 14.4k%, .320bip, .275avg, .096iso, 113wrc+
* OF Aponte (21): 167pa, 7.2b%, 28.7k%, .306bip, .237avg, .197iso, 106wrc+
* IF Toman (21): 158pa, 8.2b%, 28.5k%, .326bip, .229avg, .086iso, 83wrc+

Any updates on Munoz?

Duran continues to hit well. Probably blocked by Parker though, who while not having a great year is still a prospect imo so not the worst thing in the world.

Beltre and Aponte continue to hold on to prospect-y status by their fingertips. Toman not so much.

Old for Level

* IF Rodriguez (22): 40pa, 20.0b%, 15.0k%, .320bip, .258avg, .129iso, 140wrc+
* IF Freethy (22): 103pa, 21.4b%, 22.3k%, .309bip, .231avg, .154iso, 133wrc+
* C Tibbitts (22): 82pa, 12.2b%, 29.3k%, .326bip, .246avg, .200iso, 121wrc+
* OF Hernandez (22): 65pa, 18.5b%, 23.1k%, .316bip, .226avg, .075iso, 104wrc+

Some good numbers here even considering age. And a couple of these guys have some name value too. You'd think they'd be promoted already tbh.
uglyone - Monday, June 02 2025 @ 02:42 PM EDT (#460832) #
Catchers are unique because there's just not a lot of room for them at each level, so sometimes they get stuck in line.

So i just wanted to look at the catching pipeline and see if there's a logjam or not.

Important to assess which of these guys are catchers in name only, and can't really field the position. I've asterisked the ones that i think might not actually be catchers.

MLB:

* Kirk 26: 183pa, 111wrc+
* Heineman 34: 51pa, 172wrc+

AAA

* Sanchez 28: 102pa, 105wrc+
* Bethancourt 33: 78pa, 56wrc+
* Clarke* 27: 45pa, 120wrc+ - is he a catcher?
* Brooks 26: 3pa, 240wrc+ - might just be an injury callup

AA

* Sharp 23: 84pa, 56wrc+
* Brooks 26: 63pa, 43wrc+ - promoted but prob just due to injuries. but may be released it the org actually wants Gilliland in AA>
* Gilliland 23: 7pa, 155wrc+
* Stone 23: 15pa, 78wrc+ - prob just an injury fill in

A+

* Hornung* 24: 122pa, 146wrc+ - i'm sure he's not actually a catcher anymore. hasn't played a game there this year.
* Parker 22: 158pa, 101wrc+
* Stone 23: 63pa, 49wrc+ - have a feeling this guy is just org filler. but we might not even have room for org filler if we get healthy.
* Deschamps 22: 27pa, 29wrc+

A

* Duran 21: 177pa, 146wrc+
* Tibbitts* 22: 82pa, 121wrc+ - still playing some catcher but not sure he can stick there
* Lojewski* 23: 41pa, 6wrc+ - super utility guy that plays some C


So probably:

* MLB: Kirk 26 - Heineman 34
* AAA: Sanchez 28 - Bethancourt 33
* AA: Sharp 23 - Gilliland 23
* A+: Parker 22 - Deschamps 22
* A: Duran 21 - Tibbits 22

with guys like Brooks 26 and Stone 23 floating as needed.


I doubt the org cares too much about Sanchez and Bethancourt in AAA. Those are just placeholders.

But at the moment Sharp is really really struggling and might be clogging up the pipeline a bit. But he's a decent prospect so I think they want him to keep playing. I'm interesting to see if Gilliland is anything at all.

It helps Sharp that Parker is only holding his own in A+ and not pushing too hard for a promotion yet. But Parker's a decent prospect too imo.

Duran's the one that's pushing for a promotion but he may have to wait a bit.
GabrielSyme - Monday, June 02 2025 @ 02:52 PM EDT (#460833) #
Johnny King's day is done after 3.2 innings, 4 singles and 7 strikeouts.

He still hasn't given up an earned run and now has a 19:3 K:BB ratio in 11.2 innings.

They may want to try and get him pitching deeper in games, but it's pretty clear to me that he's ready to move up to Dunedin even though he's still 18.

Hornung is defintely not playing C anymore (I'm not sure that he was ever catching:)). Parker is the main C in Vancouver. I'd like to see him a few more times before commenting but I think he's interesting.

Coffey is a really hard guy to get a read on. He can look really bad at the plate (like, really really bad) but then does something that makes you take notice. Really high variance prospect.

As Marc has noted, Parker isn't great defensively (at least at this point). I think they'll move him slowly and hope he develops behind the plate, since he isn't going to be able to play anywhere else.

Tibbitts has been injured for some time, but pretty unlikely to stick at C.

Deschamps is a very good defender from what I've read.

Duran really is the only exciting catching prospect in A ball or higher, unless Sharp turns it around.

All the exciting catching prospects are in the DSL. And there's a few. The long and the short of it is...it's a good thing Kirk is under contract through the rest of the decade.

King definitely has stuff to work on but think he can probably do it at Dunedin as well. Clearly overmatching the complex teams. I don't know where the system would be overall if ranked right now but I'd venture to guess around middle of the pack. To me, too many people looked at the general rankings and saw being lower as being a bad system but it wasn't a bad system after July last year.

Sandlin and Wagner starting their rehabs.

Bonilla's last 9 games:

39 PA, 165 wRC+, 10.3 BB%, 15.4 K%, .333 ISO

Hopefully it's a sign of him figuring something out.

looks like Kasevich broke his wrist.
John Northey - Tuesday, June 03 2025 @ 02:07 PM EDT (#460866) #
Poor Kasevich. This year could've been his big chance as the immediate backup for Bo, show that he is ready to step in for a full-time ML job in 2026. Sucks.
Kelekin - Tuesday, June 03 2025 @ 02:44 PM EDT (#460867) #
Brutal.
uglyone - Tuesday, June 03 2025 @ 03:25 PM EDT (#460869) #
intersting thing is that Kasevich as an good glove iffy bat SS has a similar overall profile as Rivera, and now it's Rivera having the surprise AAA performance that Kasevich had last year. Though Rivera's offensive profile is kinda the opposite of Kasevich - lots of Ks and solid power, with iffy contact. Makes him much riskier and more variable than the very safe profile of Kasevich (a profile which could pop if he ever ends up developing any power at all).

And that risk in Rivera's profile is clearly demonstrated by his horrendous performance in AA.

At the plate, given Rivera's awful AA stint (which is most of his MILB career), obviously Kasevich is a preferable offensive profile, though it seems Rivera has a better reputation with the glove (though Kasevich's glove may be underrated by many).


AAA

* Rivera 24-24: 108pa, 17.6b%, 31.5k%, .396babip, .258avg, .157iso, 125wrc+
* Kasevich 23-23: 173pa, 8.1b%, 14.5k%, .369babip, .325avg, .108iso, 119wrc+

AA

* Rivera 23-24: 414pa, 10.4b%, 31.2k%, .245babip, .169avg, .073iso, 51wrc+
* Kasevich 23-23: 393pa, 6.6b%, 10.7k%, .313babip, .284avg, .080iso, 102wrc+

A+

if Vladdy had to deal with both Barger and Rivera he'd have his hand in a bucket of ice every half inning
Kelekin - Tuesday, June 03 2025 @ 05:15 PM EDT (#460874) #
The tough thing with Kasevich is that depending on who you ask, he's either a future .300+ hitter or won't make any impact at all. And similarly with the glove, some think he'll be amazing and others think he'll move to 2B. It's made it hard to get a read on him.

Rivera for sure has a future as a defensive bench option. His .258 average (which has dropped significantly) is held up by an unsustainable .396 BABIP. His K rate is terrible. But what's interesting is that his BB rate is up significantly at AAA; possibly indicating he does pretty well with the ABS system.
Nigel - Tuesday, June 03 2025 @ 05:23 PM EDT (#460878) #
I'll stick my neck out and vouch for Kasevich's defence. He played SS and 3B in Vancouver and I think that he's a legit above average defender at both. I don't see the promise in his bat though (although I do know that his exit velocities ticked up at AA/AAA).

Any doctors here or people who fractured their wrists? Wondering what the recovery time is for an adult. I know lots of kids recover quickly but I assume recovery for an adult is slower?

Will Robertson has homered in his first two at-bats tonight. He is hot.
Gerry - Tuesday, June 03 2025 @ 07:56 PM EDT (#460903) #
And now a third home run for Robertson, all hit off Frankie Montas. Also two HR for Orelvis.
greenfrog - Tuesday, June 03 2025 @ 08:33 PM EDT (#460907) #
27-year-old Robertson has a career .770 OPS in the minors. He’s currently at .972 this season. Part of the reason for this is that his walk rate has gone up this season. 8.4% career versus 16.9% this year.
