2022 Prospects

[moonslav59]

I know I seem obsessed with the K:BB ratios of some of our pitching prospects, but I can't help myself...

 

IP Pitcher K:BB

43 Walter 60:3

40 Pannone 40:5

40 Bello 52:13

42 Murphy 51:17

37 Seabold 37:10

44 Santos 32:9

31 Groome 29:12

32 Winckowski 34:6

21. Ward

22. Koss

 

Late 2024

2. Mayer

19. Jimenez

20. McDonough

24. Lugo

 

2025

9. Gonzalez

14. Jordan

26. Paulino

27. Bonaci

 

2026

8. Bleis

 

Pretty well spread out.

 

Despite everything, we have more everyday player talent in the system than we have had in quite a few years. And a couple have huge ceilings.

 

Hang’em Chaim has two types of position players that seem to get his attention:

 

1.) hit tool players. High contact rates.

2.) big power guys. Low to medium contact rates.

 

Based on this, Jett Williams should be very appealing to Hang’em Chaim in this upcoming draft!

I knew Mayer would pass Casas.

 

Glad to see Bello moving up.

 

Who is next? Walter?

Binelas has 10 taters in May; if he stays this consistent through the summer and reaches 30 (combined, at whatever levels), he's Mr. Mojo Rising...

 

... but the next promotion to the parent club will be a pitcher or pitchers, who won't get rated unless they're gas masters. Same with on base guys like Granberg or Rafaela, who may be better bets to stick in the bigs short-term than all-or-nothing swingers who immediately get listings in the Exploitable Chapter of the MLB Pitchers' Book.

Rafeala and lugo are having fine years.

 

Blaze Jordan is on fire in may, can he keep it going?

I think Rafaela has a chance to reach the top 100, but Walter might have the best chance of all.

Many of our top pitching prospects have really cut down on the BBs. Has the focus changed in our minors?

 

 

Our top pitching prospects by rank (OPS Against, K:BB & IP'd)

 

4. Bello .514, 52:13 in 40 IP

 

6. Walter .592, 60:3 in 43

 

7. Mata (N/A)

12. Winckowski .499, 34:6 in 32

 

13. Seabold .498, 37:10 in 37

 

None have regressed, and just about all have improved their standing, IMO.

[Larry Cook]

Miller with his 6th tater of the season. Go war eagle.

[Larry Cook]

Wong with his 1st tater of the season.

 

Refsynder with his 4th tater of the season,

Hickey with his 4th tater of the season.

Bello went 6 in the 13-2 Woo win.

3 H

2 ER

3 BB

10 K

Brasier and German each with a hitless IP.

 

R Hernandez went 4-5 as the DH, but even that only got his season OPS to .477! Duran went 3-5 w a 3B and BB.

Fitzy had 2 hits w a 2B and 3 rbi.

 

Portland won 2-1 as Groome looked good:

6 IP

4 H

0 ER

Greenville won 9-1, as McDonough, Rafaela, Binelas and Northcut each had 2 hits. Yorke went 1 for 4 w a 2B and BB

Groome and Bello are getting closer and closer.

[moonslav59]

Groome and Bello are getting closer and closer.

 

German, too.

 

I think Seabold, Winckowski, Duran and Casas are already "ML Ready." Guys like Fitzy, Refsnyder and maybe a couple other fring players.

[moonslav59]

Gotta wonder how close these guys are to being promoted:

 

Woo > Boston

Casas

Duran

Seabold

Winckowski

Bello

German

(Fitzy, Valdez, Refsnyder and others)

 

POR > Woo

Walter

Murphy

Granberg

(Maybe Koss & Hamilton, later)

 

Greenville > POR

Binelas

Rafaela

Lugo

Northcut

Jimenez

McDonough

(Maybe Yorke, later on)

 

Salem > GRE

Gonzalez

Uberstine

Kavadas

Hickey

Mayer

Paulino

Other than promoting a spot starter to open in a double header game, the most likely guy to join Boston by summer if he stays consistent is probably German. A reliever can always get work in a bullpen that needs help, and the Sox will want to keep their starting prospects on regular turns in the minors -- unless someone is so good he can bump a big leaguer to the pen (or if a vet is traded).

[Noles_1335]

Why isn’t Hang’em Chaim investing in pitching early in drafts? There is very little quality starting pitching in Greenville and Salem!

 

SP is Salem is terrible. Not really sure any arm here will make it out of Greenville!

Wikelman Gonzalez will definitely make it to Portland. Jacob Webb is a maybe.

German more than Casas?

 

(Also, Winckowski & Seabold can pitch in relief, too, but I do like German, a lot.)

Short sample size, but it seems he's improving at the higher level.
