“Funny how with the big league team doing well the Nunez talk has almost totally died. I think there is a direct correlation.”
Yeah, I confess I haven’t given much thought to Malcom N. over the first month of the minor league season. For me though, CC, it’s because there’ve been so many unexpected performances by prospects — both good and ill.
Much worse than expected: Reyes, Hudson, Montero, Urias, Kruczynski, Hurst, and Cabrera.
Much better: Gorman, Herrera, Sosa, Edman, Rondon, Oviedo, Toerner, Whalen, Nootbaar, Julio Rodriguez, and Woodford sort of. Oh, and Jesus Cruz. Absolutely Jesus Cruz.
So there’s been a lot to take in, a lot to process for trends both positive and the other.
(Apologies to any overachievers I forgot. And if I left out any underachievers, you’re welcome I guess.)
