SoxAce Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 W-S is being no hit in 6 so far against Glenn Sparkman. (legit prospect in the Royals org) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 So what do we do about Ravelo and Smith? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeky Magee Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 4, 2014 -> 09:05 PM) So what do we do about Ravelo and Smith? Ravelo is age appropriate and can move up when the infield jam is cleared up at Charlotte (today's 1B was Saladino, a shortstop by trade). I'd promote Smith now, but I guess it depends on what you think of Phegley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a 1B that should be ahead of him in AAA though?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a 1B that should be ahead of him in AAA though?? Black and Wilkins are more placeholders/AAAA/filler...at one point, some viewed Wilkins as more than that, but not so much recently.

Jake Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I'd probably leave Ravelo alone for a while and see if he can convert some of his hitting prowess into power prowess. They have a bunch of IF in AAA and I doubt they want to move Wilkins to AA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Speaking of first basemen, Ty Williams had 3 errors and 2 K's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam8610 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 To people who know more about this sort of thing than I, is Recchia a "real prospect" or a "AAAA/Filler guy"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely just a filler guy, but he has yet to fail at the levels he should not be failing, so that's good. AA has slowed him down a little as expected, but he is finally facing more age-appropriate players. He will likely just fall in to the Leesman/Axelrod/Carroll type role which provides value at the end of the rotation when needed, but he's no one we have penciled in to a future rotation, I can promise you that.

ron883 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I've heard Ravelo called decently athletic. Could he not handle the corner OF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could he not handle the corner OF? won't it be better to let him fully develop esp with his hitting and let see what pos he can hangle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree he most likely isn't anything, but disagree with some other things here. He was brought in as a similar type to Axelrod (flopped from SD), Carroll (from CIN) or Leesman (career minor leaguer), but he's proven to be more than that. No, I wouldn't pencil him into a future rotation either, but I do think he's can be a successful major leaguer as a back end starter or a middle reliever. His stuff is, IMO, at a level above the other guys you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
