Sorry to say, but Leake was a bad signing from the get go.
He didn’t fit here on several levels. Mo should have know this.When did Knizner play 3B? He was listed as a catcher when he was drafted out of NC State. Did he also play some 3B there?
Looks like the low prospect ranked one position pony has 4 RBIs tonight to help the Cards get off to a good start on this road trip.
Maybe the Cards knew something when they moved Carp to 3B to make room for him.Kelly has won the Gold Glove for the best defensive catcher in all the minors. He’s special defensively. And he has as pretty high ceiling offensively too. Was drafted as a power hitting third baseman.
CC – it has become a lot more challenging for me with all the guys coming up from the Academies through the DSL. Plus a few free agent signings. Need to do some homework once I do the annual end of season stats for all players (on a spreadsheet – old fashioned). I don’t know a number of players in the GCL and at Johnson City and State College. Used to know almost everyone on those rosters in years past.
My player of the day yesterday (FWIW) was Brandon Benson. 4 out of 4 with 3 RBIs. Dark horse, but had eye popping numbers at Geo. St. before being drafted –
210 ABs
22 HRs
78 RBIs
.395 BAWas referring mainly to the 2 primarily relieve pitchers starting at Memphis and Springfield. Unusual.
Just curious. Is there anyone on the JC team that potentially brings more to the table on a positional basis than O’Neill, Bader, Sierra, A. Garcia, Arozarena,
Alvarez, Edman, Sosa, Robertson, Knizner, etc. Anyone who can bypass any of the above? Anyone who has any obvious major league impact potential some day? Maybe a Big Bat if they develop? Thanks very much for your input.As Brian has said, we need impact (“big”) bats. That requires some prospects who are really outstanding. Is Pinder a better prospect than Bader, Sierra, A.Garcia, Arozarena, etc? If not, he’s totally blocked. Knizner may qualify if he can match Kelly defensively. Can he do that?
Can Knizner and Pinder be true contributors some day at the major league level, when what we really need are middle of the order bats – or two or three? Or are they just average guys like many others in the system?
Does anyone know if Oviedo’s velocity is returning to the high
90s? Someone said it was down this year.Luke 3 out of 5 with a homer last night. Tearing it up since being sent down.
Mayers with 2 shutout innings and 4 Ks. Why doesn’t it transfer?
