Minors 6/11

PrintC - Perez/Brigham tag team combo of doom (!!!!!!)
- Perez got knocked around in the 4th, ending up with a line of 3.2/3/6/3/5/3.
- Brigham was decent enough though, pitching the last three innings for a line of 3/4/1/1/1/3.
- Typical mystifying Beltre night. No hits, but a walk (!?), an error and two steals.
- Gomez got his fair share of K's, but between his horrific defense and SF's ridiculous A+ team, his numbers aren't too great. 6/8/7/4/2/8.
FRS - Harrison Rehab start (!!!)
- Harrison: 4/3/1/1/3/1. Not too impressive, although he put up a strong 9:2 GB:FB ratio.
- Tim Smith went 2/4 with a double.
- Whittleman: Golden sombrero. Assuming he signs, Mendonca is basically our best 3B prospect already.
OKC - FELIZ WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Feliz ran into trouble in the 3rd, giving up 4. Someone also stole home off of him. However, he only walked one and only needed 72 pitches to get through 5. Positives!
- Max went 2/3 with a BB and a 2B. Please start playing well so you can bolster a trade package.
- Mendoza's been horrific as a reliever in his latest stint for the Redhawks. Gave up 4 runs in an inning tonight.

Feliz perfect thru 2
Then in 3rd, double, single, double, ground out, single, with all this 3 runs in. Don’t get why he isnt pounding the ball inside, guys are getting contact, but everything is opposite field. Seems they are slapping the ball oppo.
Saw that yesterday
and promptly forgot about it with all the draft headiness. He always seemed like a real standup guy (though maybe with his arm hanging limply at his side.)

Well, Feliz didn't exactly dominate
but at least only 1 BB in 5 IP.

Fixin to?
That boat has sailed long ago. The kid just isn’t very good. I’m in the same position with West though. He’s still got time but nothing with his bat says he’s got what it takes.
Which is why I’m very glad they drafted a few 3B. I hope that kid Revell is shown the money and signs.
well
i’m not giving up on him yet…
He’s damn sure better than adam fox

Max
2-3, 2B, BB

See what a difference being healthy
makes. I still love you Max. The 2nd half turnaround started two days ago.
I listened to Perez
Just cruisin’ along then walks the bases full, gives up a single … went kinda down hill fast after that.
Rare meltdown for Perez.
That's what the box and play by play looked like
meltdown, not real worrisome if he has that once in a blue moon.

He's still about 9 months younger than Matt Purke.
These are the sort of things you can live with with a kid this young.

Perez lost control in the 4th inning tonight.

JIC anybody was wondering ...
The Rangers will assign players to Spokane sometime in the next week before they’re required to report on June 16th [Tuesday] for a three day mini-camp. Workouts are June 17th (7 p.m.), June 18th (1 p.m.), and June 19th (1 p.m.). All workouts are open to the public and free of charge.
Then play starts Saturday night the 20th. Let the DiFazio Era commence.
How many draftees
will (or won’t) be signed by June 20?

Enough college guys to fill out the SPO roster
… more will trickle in as their teams are eliminated from the CWS.
This was probably mentioned somewhere
but Frisco has Beavan scheduled to start on the 15th. They have their rotation listed as Harrison/Hyatt, Kirkman, Kiker, Roark Beavan. OKC lists theirs as Feliz, Hunter, Rupe, ?, ?

Today's updates
haven’t filled in all of the spots yet. OKC has Elizardo Ramirez going in the #4 slot and TBA in the #5. Frisco has a TBA in the spot in which Harrison and Hyatt pitched last night. I’m sure that there will be jockeying at least at the MLB and AAA levels when Harrison goes back in for his next turn, Moscoso being bumped down to OKC, stuff like that. I would figure that Frisco just has to pick from among guys on their roster, though.

no offense
i am starting to get a little worried about the position players in our farm system. can you name five guys who are really worth getting excited about? Smoak, Borbon, post-injury Max, and I guess Moreland and Bianucci. Lemon and Tim Smith and Vallejo might be a tier below them, and Beltre still has to be in the mix because of his age. Still, it really seems like a weakness in our system, and this draft certainly didn’t address it. We better hope some of these young Latin position players start to develop.
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
I don't think that Vallejo is a tier below
Moreland and Bianucci, for what it’s worth. Agreed though, there are a lot of position player gaps at the moment.

Position prospects
There’s a lot of room for debate as to whether all these guys are legit prospects but…
OF – Borbon, Boggs, Golston, Beltre, Moreland, Tim Smith, Bianucci,
SS – Garcia, Arias, Duran
2B – Vallejo, Lemon
1st – Smoak, Murphy, Ortiz
C – Max, Pina,
Plus all the latin kids I know nothing about that are hiding out in Extended.
Is the list impressive? Not really but the roster is getting younger and a pitcher like Poveda or Kiker can always be flipped for a bat if needed. I think the comment JD made to Durrett that I posted about the dirth of position players in this draft certainly showed in their choices. Still if they sign some of those toolsy outfielders plus a couple of the higher dollar guys like Revell they’ll be okay. Especially if they do well with some of the Latin position prospects they’re supposedly attempting to sign.
I kept thinking
de los Santos was a pitcher. So noted t ball.
And how bout this for a theory. JD has a history of getting a young kid, Beltre, Pasiano, Melo added onto trades. Instead of focusing on young pitchers I expect a few position players to start coming back when a catcher is dealt, along with one of Smoak/Davis. Mitch Moreland is trying to convince me he’s for real as the DH starting Sept. 2010 so dealing Davis won’t bother me.
There are two de los Santoses
Miguel is a pitcher, Leonel is a catcher.

It's like with the Pimentels
We’re collecting.

Well that explains why I was confused
I was fairly sure he was a pitcher. Good to know there’s yet another catcher in the org.
Have you heard of Tomas Telis?
Add him to the list. He’s above Macumba for me.

Yes I knew of him but didn't include any of the Latin guys.
I know there are a couple of kids in extended but beyond Telis knew nothing about them. Are we going to get a Spokane/AZL primer when rosters are announced? Especially all those latin kids that I know you know about.
Yeah I'm sure there will be a lot of talk
in the minor league threads. Jason Cole does a good job with those guys on scout.com too.

By the way
I talked some DSL in today’s farm roundup (that I wrote yesterday evening before this discussion). The deep followers know all of this, but some might not be too familiar with some of these names.

You also have to look at the majors
C – Salty/Teagarden
1B-Davis
2B-Kinsler
SS-Andrus
3B-Young
OF-Hamilton/Cruz
Pretty much all of our positions have long-term solutions. So is it bad that we don’t have premium hitting prospects besides Smoak? If anything, I rather have great fielding prospects to help out all of our premium pitchers out. Great defense can go a long way in developing their skills and mental part of the game.
No offense.
Bit I think system depth is overrated.
Having great prospects at every single position looks great on paper and all, but as long as we have good players coming up that’s all that matters.
Other holes can be patched together through trades and signings.
I’d much rather have 15 good pitching prospects and 5 good position prospects than an even split.

Chris Davis will be fine. Relax.

I'm not sure that pitching is overvalued in the current market, but...
It appears that the Rangers may believe that is the case. The Rangers are pulling ahead in the arms race, and if they sign Purke, Scheppers and only 1 out of 3 of the other guys they drafted, you can probably say they’ve got a comfortable lead over everyone else.
Guys like Buchholz, Hughes, and Kershaw are essentially priceless. The only real counter-example is that Edwin Jackson was given away for Matt Joyce.

That's a good take
on the current value of top pitching prospects.
G G G E-flat_______ F F F D__________....
Having great prospects at every single position looks great on paper and all, but as long as we have good players coming up that’s all that matters.
Lots of truth to that. There is a component for position prospect development where quantity is a plus. You’re more likely to find a Rusty Greer or Max Ramirez if you strive for positional depth, but I’m not sure that you’re that much more likely, because, for one thing, position prospects are more predictable than pitching prospects and don’t see the same kind of attrition due to serious injuries. When it comes to position prospects I’d take a handful of Justin Smoaks, Buster Poseys and Elvis Andruses than a whole slew of Marcus Lemons, Mitch Morelands and Jose Vallejos.
I’d much rather have 15 good pitching prospects and 5 good position prospects than an even split.
In a vacuum I’d probably prefer that as well, but the downside is that you are less likely to have as many good players. There is definitely a trade-off that could change that dynamic, depending on what sort of shape your organization is in. If I’m the Giants or A’s, for example, I might not mind being closer to even right now. Given their park and everything, the Rangers will probably almost always benefit from having more good pitching prospects, though.

Harrison’s the only starter who avoided getting hammered in the third of fourth inning.

Hmm...
What’s going on with Zach Phillips? Hasn’t pitched in 6 days.
Does Zach Phillips have to choke a bitch to get to Frisco?
Good question.
Maybe they’re stretching him back out in side session… I wouldn’t be against that. I think he deserves another shot at the rotation.
by NoNameOnCard on Jun 12, 2009 3:44 AM CDT up reply actions
Unless someone like Tatusko
fills it, there is now an opening in the rotation that they obviously knew they were going to create. Boscan is the only starter who might merit a promotion from Hickory, and I doubt they do that for a good while since he missed time with the injury.
