Candelario HR. When his power shows up, he's going to skyrocket up lists.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Baez's OPS would lead the Southern League if he qualified. Just a 20-year-old leading the league in OPS with a lowish BABIP while improving his SS defense. NBD

Javy single in his 3rd AB.......He'd be in the major league lineup tomorrow, if Hendry were still here. Edited August 6, 2013 by davell

That is so true. I honestly think he'll be a september '14 call up at the very latest at this point though. Even with a conservative FO like ours.

Arismendy Alcantara has been a bit streaky this season so his line over his last 10 games (.190/.292/.238) doesn't really raise any red flags for me. But he has played 19 games in 19 days if you include the Southern League All-Star game. Prior to that, he played 5 games in 3 days, then traveled to New York on July 13th, played in the Futures Game, traveled back on the 15th and had one day off before playing in the All-Star on the 17th. That's 25 games in 26 days. In the south. In July and August. He's already played a dozen more games than he has in any previous season. The dude's 5'10", 160 lbs. Anybody think he might just be a tad tired? Yowza...

Hey, they finally gave him a day off!

Just for funsies, http://mlsplits.drivelinebaseball.com/mlsplits/mlecalc says his AA line translates to 211/263/464 for a .727 OPS.

Jed has already said he hopes some of these guys are playing on the big league club at some point in 2014.

[davell]

Honestly, I think I'll take that statement back. He would have been dealt, along with Almora for Justin Upton.

Guys I expect to see by September of next year: Javy, Alcantara, Hendricks, Villanueva, Szczur, Loux, Vizcaino, and Neil Ramirez, if he's the PTBNL. Obviously, we'll see Olt, Grimm, and Cabrera.

With his last walk, Baez has an 8.9% walk percentage. That would be above average in MLB.

 

 

 

(That's 8.9% in AA)

resorting to gimmicks to beat him

Yeah, outside of championships, I can't think of one thing in all of my sports fandom that I want more than for Javy to be a superstar.

The second strike was looking on a terrible strike call, at least 6 inches outside.

Really disappointed Loosen is struggling at AA again.

That was former Southern Miss Golden Eagle Colin Cargill. He's having a really good season, by the way. I'm sure nobody cares.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Baez strikes out again. *gets out of the bandwagon line, back into the cliff jumping line*

[rawaction]

Probably time to start demoting some pitchers to get them some work in KC.

[TruffleShuffle]

grimm has allowed 5 runs (4 earned) in 2 innings, but he's allowed 7 singles and has 0 walks against 3 strikeouts.
