The amount of bodies we throw at these lower levels….
Even with the biggest signing classes, they still keep adding to them with late blooming pitchers.
Whatever they're doing, it's pretty subtle.
The Dodgers stuff was just so blatant that it was obvious what was going on. Pages was basically doing jumping jacks. I don't think I've picked up on anything specifically the Brewers have done.
Juan Ortuno:
April: .222 / .349 / .264
May: .321 / .463 / .547
Brady Ebel:
April: .167 / .340 / .218
May: .302 / .430 / .460
Handelfry Encarnacion:
April: .198 / .330 / .326
May: .231 / .398 / .523
All have at least 1:1 BB:K in May.
Oh boy.
Get Frias in there (after adding Mills), and that team is fun as hell after looking dreadful
Stick with the plan.
First round will be a 17 year old high school “reach” or the best college bat, either way they will take 3/4 of the slot value. I like Zion Rose and Rocco Maniscalco. Rose is a Chicago kid (southside, thankfully).
All college arms and bats for the rest of 2-10 saving as much as possible. We don’t have the pool money to go over slot by much if at all.
Rounds 11-20: Go nuts.
It would be a lot more comforting if we got a glimpse of guys getting their velo up. I get a little jealous seeing teams like the Red Sox immediately bumping them up a couple ticks (granted those are college guys and our oldest high schooler of this bunch is Letson).
Hard to be patient.
