Corey Black confuses me so much

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

He's a guy with good stuff that has poor command of the strike zone. Don't see what confusing about it.

Kyle Schwarber would have the best OPS in the FSL if he had enough bats to qualify.

Jairo Perez.

 

btw - McKinney at #7 is the only teenager in the top 50 in OPS in the FSL

okay...He's the only 20 year old in the top 25. Everyone else is 21 or over.

Thanks.

[ctcf]

wow McKinney already has 4 triples at Daytona.

[davell]

Vogelbach HR, but they're in a delay now.

ALMORA BOMB

[rawaction]

Corey Black hitting a wall? Bad again today. Career high in innings.

Schwarber HR

 

Just in case there was any doubt that they'll want to start him in AA next year.

[ctcf]

Good lord Schwarber. Dude is going off right now

[Vinestal]

Schwarber HR

He seems to be getting his second wind. The HR cleared the light tower in RF that's what they call a towering shot.

[Vinestal]

The other Baez with a HR

[davell]

Almora 2-3 with a 2B and HR, Russell 2-3 with a 2B

[Vinestal]

Almora 2-3 with a 2B and HR, Russell 2-3 with a 2B

Make Almora 3/4 he just singled

[TruffleShuffle]

Well this is all delightful so far. Bryant, Soler please join in tonight.

[Quakers]

What is the story with Daniel Lewis (Boise)? He looked pretty good in relief the two times I saw him.

[A New Era]

Can anyone shed some light on Almora? He wasn't lighting the world on fire in A+ but got promoted anyway. Struggled some but seems to have gotten hot lately. Most of the other top prospects are easy to follow. Tears the league to shreds, gets promoted, does the same with new league.

 

Could anyone with more knowledge explain his struggles, the reason for his promotion, and reason for optimism?

Well Almora had hit very well right before the promotion to AA, his overall numbers weren't great but I think they based the promotion on what he was doing at the time.

Loved him in Last of the Mohicans and There Will Be Blood.

[Vinestal]

Almora was removed after a diving catch in the 9th, they pitch hit for him in the bottom of the inning. Hopefully he's ok.
