    I'm going to infer from this tweet that Almora isn't engaged anymore? Either that or he showed up at the wrong time to go horseback riding with someone.

    We could really use a quick reply here at nsbb.

    New deadline is Monday's home opener apparently.

    Damn Brewers. Edit: next AB Fowler ties it up!

    That breaking ball looks good...and I think a little different than I remember. But I probably just don't remember very good.

    And that is why people who were talking about tanking for Rodon in 2013 like a year ago are insane. full disclosure - i might have said something like that at some point. if i did, i was being stupid. Tank for Turner. I kid.

    BA feels Meadows is more patient and that he projects to hit 25 HRs at his peak. CR, did they give a HR projection for Frazier? I assume it's more than 25 if he got the advantage over Meadows in power? That seems to be the big thing with Frazier. I see Kiley McDaniel say he's more like an "average" 15 annual HR guy (yet ranks him really high), whereas I think he can be around Baez's level and be a 30 HR kind of guy if things break right. Curious as to what BA says on it.

    Yeah, Appel's competition is certainly a lot more challenging. No doubt.
  12. RammyFanny
    Although he can certainly get there, I don't think Bryant's the clear cut number 2 yet. Appel is certainly at the top i'd say, but given his history with the Astros i'm not ready to say they'd take him 1-1 even if he keeps doing what he's doing. And while Manaea seems to be trending down, let's keep in mind he still has like a 1.02 ERA or something, better than Appel. Three weeks from now if he puts together a few 15K performances where he's sitting at 96, I have a feeling people are going to forget his slight drop in stuff from the early season. It's really wait and see at this point with everyone. The fun thing about Bryant though is that there's a pretty good chance he's a fast track guy similar to Zunino, and there's a decent chance he'd be up sometime around the times Baez and Soler are called up. Now of course, BPA always, but the timeline thing is still worth mentioning at least.

    I know numbers aren't everything, but for kicks and giggles, I decided to compare Junior season numbers of Bryant vs. some of the best college hitting prospects over the years: Kris Bryant early season numbers: .386/.561/.986 -- 12 HR's. Leads Div. 1 with 26 walks and i'm not sure on K's, though I thought it might be 16. Keeping in mind there's still a ton of games to be played, and of course that slugging has to come down at some point, but... And right on cue, a big ol' fluff piece from BA on him: His coach seems to think he's an OF in the pro's: http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/college/2013/03/three-strikes-week-five-3/
  14. RammyFanny
    Bryant went 2-6 with 2 BB's and 2 K's and another walkoff HR, this time in the 14th.

    Soler's boxscore won't look special, but he really seemed like he was in hitters counts in all of his at bats. Looked like he had a very good eye. Plus that foul ball he crushed would've topped Baez's HR if he could've got it fair.
  17. RammyFanny
    Frazier tweeted that he homered again yesterday, for anyone keeping track. Edit: Just saw that was posted on the last page.

    Everything from Law was on Manaea, he only mentioned Gray in that last sentence.
  19. RammyFanny
    Great view on Gray's highlights yesterday.
  20. RammyFanny
    I'm getting really close to putting him ahead of Manaea at this point. Law has http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/blog/_/name/mlb_draft/id/9059159/sean-manaea-yet-recapture-cape-cod-league-form-mlb-draft

    Kris Bryant 3-3, 3 HR's, 2BB tonight. :shock: Stanek has been demoted to Sunday starter as well apparently.

    Lots of draft stuff on ESPN today. Law debut his top 50. http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/9019400/mark-appel-sean-manaea-ryne-stanek-top-prospects-2013-mlb-draft 1) Appel 2) Manea 3) Meadows 4) Stanek 5) A. Wilson 6) Bryant 7) Frazier 8) Gray 9) Denney 10) Shipley Others: Dominic Smith (19), Reese Mcguire (28), Moran (30), Judge (32), Ziomek (37), DJ Peterson (43), Jagielo (48). Then Law had a chat. Interesting draft questions include: Piece on Manea: http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/9050726/indiana-state-sean-manaea-steps-mlb-draft-spotlight-college-baseball

    CR, are you sure Manea pitched this weekend on Saturday? ESPN insider said all 3 games were rained out and insinuated he didn't throw. A quick search of their opponents website said the same. http://www.ekusports.com/news/2013/3/2/BASEBALL_0302134809.aspx

    Like CR said, the game is on 692 for anyone with Direct TV. Not blacked out.
