Minor League Discussion & Boxes 8-26-13

Kiley McDaniel is doing something very odd with Raisin's tweet right now.

 

Either he didn't understand what he was saying or that's some kind of attempt at humor.

 

lmao what a dork. WHY ARE ALL PROSPECT EVAL GUYS SUCH LOSERS. wait i just answered my own question.

 

I was going to say the same [expletive] thing. All the young pundits are nerdy wannabe hipster/douchebags.

 

i think kyle's bit about parks being nothing but a middleman is probably true. these guys aren't scouts, they're just conduits -- i wonder if it's a sore subject that gets brought up to them from time to time.

 

Hahaha, where's that tweet convo? I'd like to read that one. I know I mentioned the other day when it was happening why no one called him a middleman, but if Kyle actually did that I wanna read his reaction to it.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

They didn't bring Johnson back out after the delay. 3 scoreless, 2 hits, 3 K.

[TruffleShuffle]

home run baez.

[MWV]

Ho hum.

[davell]

He's getting 400 at bats in the majors next year.(and will be our HR leader if he does)

[A New Era]

Really excited to see Armando Rivero in our bullpen next year. Man he looks TAAALLLL. He's only listed at 6'4 but he looks like a freaking TOWER.

[Guest]

home run baez.

Lol. Shwing, pitching a tent.

[davell]

[Little Slide Rooter]

Olt with 3 BB so far tonight.

[CubInOK]

Shockingly, this thread isn't 5 pages yet.

[ScrubMD]

Javy Baez, you silly bastard.

[Tyrant]

No one cares anymore unless he hits multiple homers

Tennessee Smokies ‏@smokiesbaseball 22m

 

Javier Baez's blast went an estimated 415 to left field at #SmokiesPark. It cleared the fence and left the ballpark completely.

 

tennessee won 6-0 and have qualified for the playoffs as the second-half divisional champ.

Something about contact rates being more predictive than k% or something like that.

[Warpticon]

Daytona played 3 innings and got suspended. :lol:

[Guancous]

home run baez.

 

Three more to go.

[imb]

Three more to go.

 

Yeah, I want 40

His contact rate at AA (swing and miss divided by swing and miss/foul ball/BIP/HR) is just a touch about 65%. That's awfully low, and 65% in the majors is about as low as you can possibly be and still be remotely useful. It's Reynolds/Stanton territory.

What's his contact rate been before AA?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Dunno, minorleaguecentral doesn't track it below AA.

[TruffleShuffle]

home run baez.

 

Three more to go.

 

for what? he's on 35 home runs (17 for daytona, 18 for tennessee).

 

the smokies have 5 regular season games left and you'd expect baez to sit out at least one since they've qualified for the playoffs. would be cool if he could make it to 40 when you take into account playoffs.

To overtake George Springer for the minor league lead, I'd imagine.

 

Also, George Springer looks like he's what Brett Jackson could've been if he didn't regress
