    Have to keep reminding myself that 1) This is the youngest ACL team for both hitters and pitchers and 2) pitching in the ACL is more about surviving than excelling.
  2. CheeseheadInQC
    Same
  3. CheeseheadInQC
    I thought after the 3-inning outing maybe they were keeping him in Wisconsin to stretch him out, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

    I am hoping that Anthony Flores is this year’s Daniel Corniel. Basically settle in eventually and propel himself into next season. The strikeout numbers are definitely there.

    Yah, I submitted my list last night and the bottom three spots were guys left out of my first iteration a couple of days ago. The only tier changes came from one guy who was in either way and two guys who were out, but with the big fifth tier (15-36), things were very fluid.
  6. CheeseheadInQC
    This is one of the reasons I wish they started the rookie leagues at the same time. If they play the same number of games, promoting one of them effectively shortens his season. I don’t think there is a single other level like that.
  7. CheeseheadInQC
    I have said it before, but I really think Alastre is this year’s Baez.
  8. CheeseheadInQC
    Based upon early season performance/last year’s performance/batting order, it appears the ACL offensive prospect tiers among those currently playing are: Di Turi/Bitonti Alastre/Ibarguen Tyler Rodriguez Although that last one is probably just me.
  9. CheeseheadInQC
    @Brock Beauchamp Could you add Filippo Di Turi? I haven't completely solidified my list yet, but he is better than 50/50 to make it at this point. This one is tough. I feel like some of the guys I had in the 10-20 range last time haven't solidified their spots and a bunch of players have risen up into that area. I've only got 11 players who I think definitely belong in the top 20, two players who probably belong in the top 20 and 23 players who deserve significant top 20 consideration. 23 players for 7 spots.

    Each inning was better than the last. It is too bad he hit his pitch limit because the way he was pitching I think he probably gets through the fifth unscathed the way the fourth went.
  11. CheeseheadInQC
    O’Rae had a few hard hit balls. There are guys who run fast without it looking like they are running fast. With O’Rae it was very obvious how fast he was running. He has got some wheels.
  12. CheeseheadInQC
    Never fails. Whenever I go wanting to see a pitcher, they struggle. Herrera was laboring in the first.
  13. CheeseheadInQC
    For someone renowned for the huge hacks he would take, Martinez’s stat line this season has been surprisingly, well, balanced. He’s striking out at a relatively low clip for a power hitter, he isn’t overly pull happy and has been generating a lot of line drives. The walk rate could improve, but it has been an interesting development to see the hitter he has become in double-A.
  14. CheeseheadInQC
    So far so good for Henderson’s rehab start.
  15. CheeseheadInQC
    I believe the combined line for the Smiths in Biloxi is something absurd like 45 strikeouts to 4 walks.
  16. CheeseheadInQC
    Which is extra ridiculous given the DSL website slider says it starts today.
  17. CheeseheadInQC
    It will really only affect high school hitters among top prospects. The college hitters, at least the top prospects, would get moved up quickly anyway, and the high school pitchers haven’t thrown much in rookie ball since all the changes were introduced. Even the college pitchers usually only threw 2-4 innings in complex league ball total.
  18. CheeseheadInQC
    I have to think a few of them will be pitchers. That staff is pretty thin right now for complex league ball. I could see a couple of Suarez, Smith, Quezada and Jesus Flores being in the next group announced. Only sort of surprises so far seem to be Antony Gomez and Ishmael Yanez.
  19. CheeseheadInQC
    Can’t get much better than that. A number of our international signees have found the A to high-A jump difficult lately. Hopefully he is the exception.
  20. CheeseheadInQC
    I think there is a good chance they go defense with both seconds before grabbing Puni or Coleman with one of the thirds.
  21. CheeseheadInQC
    I agree about the thresholds. I always thought especially the offensive linemen it was more a product of what traits they valued more than other teams (agility) vs. what they valued less than other teams (arm length). Therefore they drafted a lot of shorter, quicker linemen. It doesn't mean that the Packers wouldn't draft guys over a certain height, it is just that the arm length that usually went along with the height was more prized by other teams than the Packers so they were higher on other boards than the Packers'. I don't think it should be used to say the Packers wouldn't draft an offensive lineman over whatever height. My one draft rule is don't pick receivers because of H/W/S or for a specific role before round 5. Pick receivers who are skilled at actually playing the position (route running, etc.). I fully acknowledge I am not the guy to make those judgements, but it just seems like the football skill guys bust at a lot lower rate than the athletic skill guys at that position.
  22. CheeseheadInQC
    It seemed odd at the beginning of both last season and this one when the Brewers seemed to be treating Barrios as the better prospect than Areinamo or Guilarte given past performance and prospect rankings. Maybe they were onto something.
  23. CheeseheadInQC
    Maybe the numbers significantly changed from when the article was first posted, but a lot of Turang's metrics heading into today are acceptable for a player of his skill set. Fangraphs has his exit velocity at 89.4, which is above average among second basemen. His rate of soft contact is down 10% from last year and is decidedly above average, and his hard contact is up more than 8%. His launch angle isn't really an outlier. His line drive rate is also up. Maybe the xWOBA is a hint that the contact has been less than the sum of its parts, but with his speed and defense, a version of Turang who sprays medium-to-hard-hit line drives all over the field has value even if none of those reach up to the 110 mph mark.
  24. CheeseheadInQC
    Fun stat: The Mudcats have 8 pitchers 20 or younger and 7 of them have an ERA of 3.00 or better and a WHIP better than 1.20.
  25. CheeseheadInQC
    Ohtani is to blame a bit, but I never saw the obsession with making guys two-way players. So few do one or the other well enough to reach the big leagues, let alone both. At this point, Low is a pitcher, and once he is back from injury I hope the Brewers develop him as such.
