Not gonna be long til he's in AA.

 

Interesting how Collins is at the same level as Hawkins the year after their drafts. Comical really.

 

Hopefully he can stick at catcher. I'm sure if he were a 1B, he'd be at Birmingham now.

Only two K's, which isn't going to work.

I think at this point, it is pretty likely he ends up as a useful, but non-essential, part of a bullpen. Never gonna miss enough bats over the course of six innigs. But that being, said, hopefully his movement and ground ball tendencies can help him become a long man.

Doesn't matter, 4 K's per 9 isn't going to work at the major league level.

Well, it does matter. You'd still like to see him get some punchouts, but it's more acceptable from him than most other guys.

 

I guess the point being for the type of pitcher he is, a 9-1 go/ao ratio is more encouraging to me than his k rate is discouraging.

A low K rate is ok for his type of pitcher, but like I said, 4 K's per 9 won't cut it in the majors.

He better not move this week. I have got tickets to see him play in Kinston,NC against the Down East Wood Ducks on Wednesday night. Part of my son's birthday present. Then heading on Friday night to Norfolk to see Charlotte play the Tides.

They won't move him up THAT fast, unless someone in BHAM gets hurt. But May or June are certainly likely.
