[Guest]

Taiwan Easterling promoted to Peoria.

[javy knows my name]

Taiwan Easterling promoted to Peoria.

 

Jesus.

[Vinestal]

Taiwan Easterling promoted to Peoria.

 

Jesus.

 

No Taiwan, Jesus is still in the DSL.

[Guest]

Taiwan Easterling promoted to Peoria.

 

Jesus.

 

Well, he'll be 23 by opening day next year and he hit .500 with a 1.232 OPS for his stint in Mesa, so I think that's probably the appropriate action.

[Keener98]

Taiwan Easterling promoted to Peoria.

 

Any idea if he will be there for tonights game?

He was there for like a week. It's still fast.

Not too fast considering it's a college draftee and the AZL. Brett Jackson was in Mesa for 3 games. Same for LeMahieu. Barney was there for 5 games. Flaherty skipped straight to Boise, Colvin too. You get the idea.

[Guest]

Taiwan Easterling promoted to Peoria.

 

Any idea if he will be there for tonights game?

 

Yeah, he's in the starting lineup. Rubi Silva is shifting to 2B for today's game. He played some second in Cuba.

Yeah. For most advanced college guys who sign after the Mesa/Boise season starts, Mesa is just a chance to get their feet wet before they go to Boise or Peoria. Easterling is probably not as advanced as those guys were but he hit well enough to force the promotion.

 

I'm guessing DeVoss is next within a few days.

2B Cory Spangenberg was the Padres' first round pick, but that seems to be about it.

[Guest]

Ha led off tonight's game with another double, and scored on a Vitters sac fly. This is Ha's 4th straight game with a double since returning to AA.

[Guest]

Jackson is 1 for 1 with a 2B and a walk

LeMahieu is 2 for 2

Flaherty is 1 for 1

[Keener98]

Easterling just crushed a 2 run Homer in his 3rd at bat for Peoria to tie the game. It was smashed

[StarlinOnYou]

Nice.

 

Szczur went 2/5 today. Now hitting .263

[Little Slide Rooter]

Logan Watkins continues to light it up with a 2-5 with a 3B. His promotion might not be too far away. I cant see Nate Samson or Matt Camp blocking him.

[Guest]

Holy smokes, that's quite the turnaround for Watkins.

 

April/May: 166 PA's, .196/.283/.270/.553

June/July: 136 PA's, .413/.496/.561/1.057

[Little Slide Rooter]

Flaherty adds an RBI 2B.

Is Richard Jones anything more than another Justin Bour who will turn into another Rebel Ridling who will turn into another Jake Fox?

[Guest]

Andrew McKirahan is making his debut for Arizona tonight, entering the game in the 5th inning with the AZL Cubs down 2-1.

[TruffleShuffle]

Is Richard Jones anything more than another Justin Bour who will turn into another Rebel Ridling who will turn into another Jake Fox?

 

that's not fair to compare him to those guys. jake and rebel actually know how to take a walk.

[CubsWin]

Is Richard Jones anything more than another Justin Bour who will turn into another Rebel Ridling who will turn into another Jake Fox?

You forgot Matthew Spencer.

 

Jones is 5 months older than Bour and Bour is putting up basically the same if not better numbers one level higher. Bour's the best of the bunch and even he's not considered much of a prospect.

[Outshined_One]

Word has it, Rohan to Daytona, Geiger to Peoria.
