Zambrano's first few years in MLB, he was a 7-8 K/9 guy. IMO that's feasible for Ortiz. Agreed that he might not push the 9 K/9 Zambrano hit a few times. In terms of stuff and body type, I do think they are pretty similar. Yeah the body type I agree with. He's very aggressive too like Zambrano was. Thank god he isnt the headcase
-
Having issued three walks in 5 innings, I'm not sure I would have picked tonight to make that assertion. The zone was very tight for both parties.
-
Watched it too and I think the Zambrano comp is a little off. I dont think he'll be a big K guy. I did like all the off defensive swings inducing the weak contact. He did seem to get squeezed quite a big. As well as his counterpart Weigel.
-
Just to clarify because I'm curious what you mean. Do you mean control? As in the ability to throw strikes (general ability to hit the strike zone). Or command? As in the ability to hit specific spots with pitches. His ability to hit where the catcher is setting up. The strike zone was tight and he still found a way to get a ton of weak contact. Ortiz isnt much of a strikeout guy but he gets a ton of awkward swings with weak contact.
-
Ortiz was outstanding again tonight. His command is really impressive.
-
Brent Suter's contract selected, will start tomorrow in Seattle

Theyll probably put Houser on the 60. No need to DFA anyone. -
Watched Ortiz tonight. Very heavy FB and got a few chases on the curve and change. Serious upside. Very excited about him. Got up to 78 pitches tonight.
-
From my understanding they told him to turn down the velo to try and work on his control. Its kind of early to write anyone off 2 years out of HS
-
Yeah Gideon was only drafted as a Jr and played pretty sparingly at A&M his freshman year he broke his foot. His Sophmore year was his best year where he started 36 of 44 games. Then his Jr year he wasnt even a full time starter. So far he's looking like a hell of a steal even though he was a HS All American in Texas. I just doubt they skip levels with him because he hasnt had a ton of AB's (53, 136, 76) throughout college. He'll be exciting to see in Appleton.
-
He has been placed on DL with a pulled hamstring.
-
Still nothing on why Brinson was pulled from AAA on Twitter... frustrating.
-
Anyone know why Brinson was pulled from the CS game today?
-
I'm not one to argue, but I don't follow what you mean here. Gatewood has been playing mostly 3rd this year, only 11 games at 1st, and was strictly SS prior to 2016. Are you considering Gatewood a first baseman now, or are you considering Gideon a 3rd baseman? (Gideon played 3rd in college, but has only played 1st this year with Helena.) Since Erceg got called up he's been primarily at 1st base.
-
He probably should be in Appleton tbh. College JR who did hit well in college. He did hit quite a few bombs his JR year in only 67 AB's Heres a BP video of him
-
Maybe I was right all along. Josh Norris @jnorris427 1h1 hour ago The Fresno grizzlies affiliation Status update has been postponed until 4 PM tomorrow
-
Looks like Fresno's big announcement was the call up of Teoscar Hernandez.
-
Yeah now I cant find it. My timeline wont go back far enough and I dont remember who wrote it. Sorry.
-
Where did you see this? Twitter. I think it was BA. Ill look.
-
Where did you see this? Twitter. I think it was Hudson Belinsky. Ill look.
-
Apparently Fresno is making some sort of affiliation announcement tomorrow.
-
Complete pass on Gomez. That ship has sailed.
-
It won't because the fire sale is completed. We have no Gomez/Lucroy/Smith/Jeffress left. There is potentially Thornburg if the reliever market gets crazy next July again and MAYBE Braun. Gone are the days of massive Top 100 prospect hauls. You could probably see a Villar trade or moving on from Guerra or Nelson. Those all could net a decent return. Braun probably wont be getting you a ton back. Hopefully some of the other guys like Jungmann, Peralta, and Domingo rehab some value and become candidates as well.
-
I think you're underestimating the desire of most GMs to assume the risk of picking up a contract that large on a player in his 30s with injury and PED concerns - even a productive one. If there was a team wiling to pick up Braun's entire contract right now, I think we would have seen a lot more chatter about a Braun trade before the deadline. I don't think teams are hesitant to give prospects for Braun, I think they're hesitant to commit to a contract for a player like him through 2020. I know we've been adamant that we're not interested in dumping Braun strictly for salary relief, but any team claiming him risks us re-evaluating the situation, considering his age and injuries and the many outfielders in our pipeline, and saying, 'We're out. We'd rather have the financial flexibility than be paying Braun 20M when he's 36.' Teams say stuff all the time. It doesn't mean much. They'd owe Braun every dime left on his contract. I don't think any team would risk that. I'd bet a lot that he'd clear. Remember when Alex Rios got claimed and they just let Chicago take that contract. I wouldnt be surprised.

100 abs is too small for anyone to judge but another thing to consider is the wood v alum adjustment as well being aggressively placed. He also may have some wear down/fatigue too. If this repeats for another year we can all be alarmed
-
Theyll put everyone on waivers IMO and see if anything can get done. Someone may get desperate and take Garza from us but theres no reason to believe we cant work out moves with some of the other guys. Torres, Boyer, Carter, Kirk, Flores, Maldy, and hell even Anderson could be guys dealt. We did get Blazek for Ax so its possible.
