2B Danny Mendick hitting .296/.385/.493 at W-S, good for a 142 wRC+. Was name-checked on Fangraphs' fringe prospects a few weeks back. Old for the level, good for a promotion I would say.

Slightly OT, but Carson Cistulli's track record of finding undervalued players on the fringe 5 is very impressive.

With Stephens, Guerrero, Adams, Danish, Hickman...we're starting to have the makings of an impressive bottom 10+ in starting pitching depth.

 

 

1. Kopech

2. Lopez

3. Giolioto

4. Hansen

5. Fulmer

6. Dunning

7. Stephens

8. Adams (8/9 could be flip-flopped)

9. Guerrero

10. Hickman (I know this is a reach, but have to root for a TJ kid from Chicago Public Schools who ends up at Iowa for baseball of all places).

11. Danish

12. Pineda (haha, well, just because of his family connection)

In DSL Coronado was 4-4 with 2 doubles. J Guerrero was 1-5. Mieses had 3 hits.

 

All of those were 2016 signings? I think.

 

I believe so. All are 17. Anderson Comas too (2-5, 3B). Mieses just turned 17 on May 31.

Definitely get acquainted with Bernardo Flores. Good sleeper pick.

 

Hickman could be interesting, haven't read reports on the stuff, old for his level but lost two years to TJ, so that would make sense.

 

Hickman was a staple in the Hawkeyes’ starting rotation this season, finishing at 9-2 and posting an ERA of 2.99 in 16 starts.

 

Previously, the junior had been a two-way player (catcher as well) before switching solely into a pitching role in 2014. He started five games and appeared in 12 more that season, finishing with a 3.93 ERA.

 

Hickman’s other hometown team, the Cubs, originally drafted him as a catcher in 2012 in round 20. But as he made the switch to the mound, scouts became intrigued by his big frame (220 lbs.) and his potential as a power pitcher, especially after he topped out at 96 mph.

 

However, this spring the interest dropped slightly, as Hickman failed to keep his velocity late in games and struggled controlling his breaking ball.

 

Even so, his physical ability gives him the potential to move up the minor league system of the White Sox, and a chance to play professional ball for the city he grew up in.
