I see no reason why Johnson or Turner wouldn't be the spot start on the DH.

 

I guess. If Beck would have gone 6-7 strong, that probably would have gotten him the call. We'll see what they do with the order now that it's six days out.

 

Hopefully they can get a split that day and win the other two games.

But why Beck even if he did have a good game?

Zach Thompson a spec to watch?

Maybe. Tall frame, OH gets nice downhill plane, fastball runs to mid-90s with some movement. Offspeeds are all works in progress. Messed with a splitter for a while, not sure he still uses it though. Slider supposedly looked good in spring camp.

 

Probably a reliever profile, but he's worth keeping an eye on. He's repeated Kanny, but not too old yet.

To add: He's very similar in profile to Kyle Hansen for me.

Tim Anderson has walked five times in 35 games. With limited power, does anyone think he can come up here and put up even a .700+ OPS? How's his defense progressed? I know that used to be a weakness, and with all those things combined, it just doesn't seem like he'd be a high WAR player in MLB. There's too many red flags for me personally to be that high on him.

He's walked 5 times in 16 games. Walked none before that. Same pattern last year in BHAM, raised his walk rate from zero, slowly, to about 7% in August.

 

His defense progressed a lot last year, but he does still need reps. But the actions say he's capable of being probably better than average at short with time.

 

He's never going to walk a ton, but more importantly, he does adapt and become more selective with time at the level. He's clearly #1 in the system, and I have pretty high confidence he'll be at least an average overall SS in the majors. Not guaranteed of course, but I'd bet the over.

Is Adolfo any closer to returning? Kanny comes to Charleston beginning of June. I'd like to see him.

 

No word I've seen or heard yet, but I will ask around.
