Weather forecast for Des Moines isn't looking good for Iowa's game today. Chance for inclement weather for the rest of the affiliates today too. Hopefully, they won't all be postponed. :beg:

Postponed

Cold

 

Iowa's game.

Is it wrong that, of all the current prospects that are in the system, the one I want to pan out and end up as an impact player at the ML level the most is Vogelbach?

Considering we almost assuredly have nowhere for him to play, yes. :-)

My guy is Torreyes, so I can't say much.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Anytime Soler wants to hit a HR again is fine by me. Or at least have a bunch of hits fall in.

 

It's like no one wants to be the No. 1 prospect in this system.

I think it's fair to give Soler another week to get back into a grove after what he's gone through the last 3ish weeks (even though most of it has been brought on by himself) before we really start worrying about/questioning him.

Being annoyed by a slump doesn't mean I'm questioning his long-term projection or anything. It'd just be nice if we didn't have to go all the way down to Vogelbach before we have a "wow, look at that guy's start to the season" prospect.

I gotta go Javy. If he makes it we have a star SS. Plus Starlin Castro. Pretty unreal.

Javy's easily my 2nd, easy guy to see making a huge impact. Honestly, if we find a way to get Price, I hope Almora is the lead piece.

Dallas Beeler has a no-hitter through 4.

 

@SmokiesonRadio: Jae-Hoon Ha was scratched from the lineup. Ha injured his back during batting practice and was taken off the field on a cart.

If Javy's K% and BB% stay about the same, I hope it's him.

Maybe Ricketts can use some of that sweet scoreboard revenue to bribe MLB into adopting the DH in the NL, then.

 

Maybe it's just a gut feeling, but he's just got that leader vibe, and I think his bat is really legit.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Alcantara has fallen on hard times as of late. .171/.216/.286 over the past 10.

You mean keep the spot warm for Appel or Gray?

Must all of our Korean prospects keep breaking? That's why I'll never own a Kia.
