SPO-8:30- Thompson
HIC- Off
BAK-9:30- Bleier
FRS-7:00- Perez
OKC-9:00- McCarthy
AZRL- Off
Biggest minor league night of the year? Has to be since McCarthy is in OKC right? I mean who is this Perez guy starting for Frisco?

He had absolutely zero left to prove in Hickraw.

At the game. Line looks bad, but most of the early hits were dinkers and rollers that found holes. Homer was crushed, though. Fastball command wasn’t there, but hitters were a bit behind him often. More later…

good
Hopefully these start trickling in over the week as opposed to just a few more at the deadline. If we don’t sign at least 1 more HS pitcher, 1 HS 3B, and a Jabari (in addition to Purke/Scheppers, of course), I’ll be merely amazed at our draft class as opposed to being overwhelmed to the point of lunacy.
by naropean on Aug 12, 2009 10:31 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Great news
I think Purke and Scheppers are sure to follow. I worry more about some high-ceiling later in the draft though.
I propose a 5-year moratorium on trading any young Ranger pitchers who throw over 90 mph.
by Ajax68 on Aug 12, 2009 10:31 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I still think Schepp wait's till December or January, but I expect Purke to sign.
I’d love to see Reggie Williams andLemke get done though.
I know I have a borderline unhealthy affinity for speedy center fielders, but I really want to see us bring Williams into the fold.
I know he’s raw, but reports say pure 80 speed on the kid along with good baseball aptitude, and pure 80 speed doesn’t grow on trees.
He’s pretty much a long shot to sign, though, right?

I suspect we will wait until after the rule 5 draft and drop drop someone from the 40 and give Scheppers a ML deal

You protect who you need to from the rule 5 draft
Then most likely teams either have full 40s or will have to trade you something for the guy you drop. For instance, instead of being able to select a guy like Kirkman for example in the draft based solely on draft order if you drop him after the draft and say a couple teams want him and try and claim him you can potentially work a trade and get a prospect back for him instead of losing him for nothing.

But that kind of ignores the fact that they wouldn't have to keep him on the 25 all year long like they would if they rule-5'd him.
It’s much more likely a guy like Kirkman would get claimed off waivers when taking him off the 40 than he would when there’s all the strings attached with a rule 5 selection.
I mean, sure, you’d lose him for nothing as opposed to maybe being able to work out a trade, but what do you think you’re gonna get in a trade? Is a Hamburger really worth the risk? Not in my book.

And if you can get that and swap out Kirkman for Scheppers on the 40 I think it makes sense

If you run someone through waivers for the purpose of removing him from the 40, how can you trade him?

After a player clears waivers, you have 10 days to trade or send him to the minors.
with the player being able to reject the assignment and become a free agent?

I thought you had 10 days to
trade, release or submit him to waivers. Once he clears waivers, and if it is his first time being booted from the 40, he can be assigned to the minors.

Kris Davis might be trying to change his name to Kris W. Davis
he’s starting to take some walks. 2 more last night giving him 9 over the last 7 or so games. His 19 to 31 BB/K ratio is way, way better than the ratios he had previously in the minor leagues. I dont know if he’s changed his mechanics to fix his mass hole in his swing he had at the ML level this year, I think he has considering his K-rate isnt too bad, but the increased walks might be just as important if not more important to Chris’ development.

10% walk rate
in OKC. As he makes better contact he forces pitchers to throw differently. I think the walks are more effect than cause here, but it’s a good sign either way.

If you held a gun to my head and forced me to pick one I’d say Main, no Davis, no Main, no MaxRam, no Davis. Probably CD for me. Just because he performed so well at the ML level last year. I’m still a big believer of Main and MaxRam though, and seeing them falter like they have has really hurt too.
