Lyle Moooton

For someone who posts so much you never really actually say anything.

Thanks?

I don’t think he’s a “true” SS. He can probably fake it for a couple years.

The strategy, from what I could interpret, was to get these guys for minimal prospect impact and flip them for something better. how is that going? Booser looks like a stroke of genius. Dude looks like Matt Thornton with the life on his fastball. Assuming he can keep it sort of up, he could net a very nice return. Gilbert has been less encouraging, though serviceable. As of this moment I don’t suspect he has much value.

It’s the most important position on the field, so it’s nice to know we likely project well. there’s a note later on in the article on how catchers tend to be easily extendable and that may also be part of the strategy. See who extends for less, deal the other?

Being right and “winning” the argument has become more important than anything else.

If Bonemer keeps performing how he is as a 19 year old who could feasibly start his career at SS, he could leapfrog those two even if they perform well.

Colson over .300 the past week. Still striking out too much, though.

Haven’t seen this posted anywhere else, but FG just slapped a 70 grade on Ramos’ defense at 3rd.

I think this is a pretty tremendous sign. Of course the offense is still s%*# because the talent simply isn’t there to impact the ball, but it’s a good sign nonetheless.

Wouldn’t be shocked if it was Maton.

Colson leads off the game with a 115 mph single off a 96mph fastball.

Good call you’re right

In Hagen’s first start it took him a couple innings to find his release point and once he did he was quite literally unhittable. He didn’t get a chance this past weekend because he hit his inning pitch limit, but feasibly could have done the same. If the issue is being more consistent with his mechanics and release point - or at least finding it earlier in the game - that’s what the minors are for.

I seem to remember when we drafted James Beard comments on how weak his competition was with high school baseball in Alabama. That would make me apprehensive on putting much stock in Hall’s numbers.

Good to know, thanks

Still no Ramos

He was gassed, but I don’t mind pushing him a little. Good possible learning experience.

Robert is so smooth out there. What a jump.

It depends who the prospect is. I’d love Hope, but I also have no hope.

Colson lines out at 112mph to cf. tough break.

Oops.

Reyes’ slider looks really good.

Smith done.

Any word on the issue?
