He has a ways to go before passing Stiever or Lambert who both have better pure stuff. However he has really put himself on the map this year. I’m looking forward to how he performs in AAA in a hitters park.

My guess is that his defense is ahead of his offense at this point. This is pure speculation on my part, but, playing low A ball, they’ll let you kick the ball all over the infield as a defender if you really need the reps. By them playing him at DH frequently, I’d guess they’re not super concerned about his fielding ability. An alternative theory is that he is having some issues with his throwing arm and they just want to rest it. Again, I’m just speculating.

More or less, although if they were players who were super talented and in high demand, they would’ve gone earlier in the draft. Big time players get big time money, always have, always will. Most of these senior draft picks are just happy to get $10k and a chance.

Over a month now. Lots of HR’s, BB’s and K’s.

Wow, talk about moving the needle.

Rodriguez with another homer and 2 SB on the day. That’s 8hr and 18sb on the season for him. It would seem that he’s a pretty twitchy athlete with those power/speed numbers he puts up. He’s one of my favorite prospects to watch.

I don’t see Lamb as a part of the team’s future, as such I’d way rather see what Sheets brings to the table and let him get MLB at bats and coaching. With Abreu’s age advancing, Sheets could potentially be our 1b/DH of the future.

Maybe he can be a throw in to sweeten the pot in a bigger deal. I doubt we get anything for him straight up.

A power prospect is debuting at DH for WS today, really hope that game doesn’t get postponed.

Tatis 0-3 with 3k’s. Bust! ?

I’ll say it again, the sound his bat makes connecting with the ball is just different. He has bad swing and miss tendencies but his power is no joke.

The sound that bat made was impressive. Different level type power

There’s a long history of guys who “figure it out” at a later stage but they are certainly the rare exception. Scott Podsednik comes to mind as he had no success until he was 27. Ultimately I hold out almost no hope for this guy until he actually proves his performance is real at the MLB level.

Agreed, lots of raw talent on that team.

Kannapolis is on the verge of a winning streak!

One of the few bright spots for Kanny so far. He is young for the league and shows real potential.

Yes, that’s why I wouldn’t mind shipping him off. Moncada is our 3b and there’s almost no way Burger will replace him. So let’s move him while he’s hot and get a replacement for our OF

True, but he is highly talented. I don’t propose that we could flip him for a superstar OF, more like a serviceable replacement for our injured guys. Burger has been impressive at the plate thus far and we don’t really have a place for him in the lineup in the foreseeable future. We can trade from this position of abundance to fill in our injured outfield. That’s the only point I was trying to make.

There’s always plenty of teams who can use a young power hitting corner infielder.

With Burger’s hot start I see him being used as a potential trade piece. There’s no place for him in our lineup at 1b/3b/DH for the next several seasons as these spots are locked up by young talent. Burger might be enough to get us a good mid-level outfielder to fill the gap until Eloy or Robert get back. just a thought
