Minor League Discussion & Boxes 7-26-14

[Guest]

Felix Pena just got the bump up to AA. Very curious to see if someone from the stacked KC rotation gets sent up. Would have to think Underwood is most likely.

 

I actually would say Skulina, give his age and college experience. Tseng probably would handle it the best, but I doubt they want to move him.

 

There's also James Pugliese, who's dominated out of the pen all year.

 

Tseng would be my choice but I'm not sure there's an opening in the rotation since Paniagua just came up last week.

It's gonna be one of those nights isn't it?

 

 

That's your photo? Did you play at Furman?

 

That's Jay Jackson

 

Ha, I like how you say that as if a normal person would know who the [expletive] Jay Jackson is. And who's to say RammyFanny isn't Jay Jackson? ARam could have bought him a fat steak back in the day.

 

/He looks really big.

 

I remember it being brought up not TOO long ago or else I wouldn't have remembered myself.

Dang he was/is a big boy. Going to get fat once he retires.

Heh. Maybe the white, thin Jay Jackson.

Yeah thought he hit it out. My bad.

Jacob Hanneman is 5/7 with a double and 2 steals in his debut for Daytona.

McKinney 2/3

[RammyFanny]

Another 3-run HR Baez

Out of the stadium it looked like.

[Andy]

It is so [expletive] sweet to see Baez is going super-Javy on AAA like he did on AA last year

[Guest]

@JGoro8: Shawon Dunston with more loud contact-- this time off a tough LHP. He hasn't played much in my previous Kane viewings.

[Guest]

Russell's combined AA line is now (125 PA) .304/.376/.554/.930, 7 HR, 11/21 BB/K

[davell]

Javy is the man.

 

FWIW, Gorosh thinks Dunston is the only prospect among Martin/Hannemann/Balaguert/Dunston. Not impressed with Jeffrey Baez either.

Almora ejected arguing a check swing

[UMFan83]

Russell's combined AA line is now (125 PA) .304/.376/.554/.930, 7 HR, 11/21 BB/K

 

Any chance he sees Iowa this year or is that too aggressive with a month and change left?

[J.R.]

Per Twitter, CJ Edwards is back in Mesa. Did I miss something?

[Brian]

Javier Baez you are ridiculous.

[Guest]

I'm going to keep updating this until it fails to be fun, which is to say it hasn't gotten old yet.

 

 

Month   PA    OPS   HR    K%    BB%
Apr     63   .617    3   35%     6%
May    119   .738    4   34%     7%
Jun    116   .815    4   29%     9%
Jul     96  1.070    8   23%     7%

[rawaction]

Argh! Almora and Russell both k with the bases loaded in the 9th in a tie game. Manager got ejected in between too. Not sure why.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Make that 6/8.

He had a rehab outing there on Wednesday. I hadn't seen anything about him being back in Tennessee, and I would've expected more than one rehab outing if only for stamina purposes.
