Why does it seem we always tend to have the streakiest of streaky hitters in our minor league system?

 

Usually what happens when you go after super toolsy guys that need a lot of refining (Thompson, Anderson, Hawkins). High ceiling, very low floors for all 3 of them when they were drafted.

Too many "all or nothing" players and not enough Ravelos who are more consistent and patient hitters with a higher OBP/contact rate.

 

And we decided to get rid of him

Yes, but nobody really cares about him or Walker at this point...so not worth mentioning, that point's been driven into the ground by now.

 

i was trying to think of a smartarse response. i failed miserably

Beck's sure not missing a lot of bats this year. Disappointing after his excellent performance in ST that we all saw on tv. Maybe he can make the transition to a set-up man?

 

Beck wasn't missing bats last year. It kept being attributed to him working on something.

In fairness, his inability to play any position other than 1B was going to require the development of significantly more power. But yeah, it seems like the org undervalues the rare guy who actually shows a quality approach.

That's why we have the DH.

Take a look at the Dash - they actually have a bunch of guys with much lower K rates than previously (guys like Engel, Barnum, Walker are lower), plus guys like Peter and Narvaez that are high contact guys anyway. Not sure if one of their coaches hit on something or what, but it's apparent with that team.

Sure, and I'd rather they did that a lot anyway. Better chance of significant players down the line.

Jaye has been pretty fantastic so far in AA. Beck ended up with 7 Ks, just gave up some runs tonight.

 

Revamped slider this year. Already had a very good sinking fastball and OK curve.

2-out triple for Thompson in the 10th, Coats drove him in to win it.

 

Coats doing just fine in AAA.
