Home Runs. We will see many, many of them.

 

We're going to hit 1000 total from 2016-2019

 

I don't want us to trade any of these kids.

bryant needs 14 home runs in his last 29 games to reach 50 for the season.

 

i'm trying to think of the last time i was as confident about a prospect's future success (assuming health, of course) as i am with bryant. has to be prior, probably.

He broke his leg badly in a game tonight. It was disgusting.

 

 

I haven't seen it. I never want to. I fully support the auto ban, tim.

Wow... that was a shot. Are we sure he is just a 15-or-so HR guy?

better question: are we sure he's not the #1 prospect in the game?

Yes.

Not sure but I'm pretty sure he knew about that guy's existence when he said that.

Any idea what his contact numbers look like this year

Russell (20) is at 81.4% with Tennessee

 

Bryant (22) was 68.8%

Baez (20) was 65.5%

 

i don't anticipate Ks being a problem for Russell at all

I have a feeling as of tonight, that's about to end.

And a rotation of Sands, Steele, Stinnett, Clifton, Masek/Conway/Meija/Leal would be pretty fun.

I guess I take the scouts word on it, but it seems like a 20 year old with that kind of ridiculous bat speed who's jacking up HRs in the Southern League at this rate would project a higher power ceiling.

 

Yeah, the main thing making me question it is his age and the level he is doing it at. I wouldn't really question what the scouting report says on his power because of a small sample of games. But, his age, solid frame, and everything else makes me think the 15-20 HR potential might need to be 15-25 HR. I'm not questioning him being a 15-HR type of guy; it's just, him being a 20-25-HR guy wouldn't exactly shock me.
