Around SBN: Following UFC 146 Loss, Jason 'Mayhem' Miller 'Done' in UFC

I know this was brought up a little in the last minors thread but just wanted to get some more opinions about it.  

From Scott Lucas:

RHP Sam Brown
RHP Ben Henry

1B Clark Murphy
IF Daniel Lima (saw a little of Bakersfield in 2010)

Play begins Friday at Tri-City.

Star-divide

Some thoughts:

 

  • Though it seems natural at this point, Profar assignment is still a big deal.  And this might also seem like it goes without saying but Sardinas isn't there and they are basically the same age (Profar a tad older I believe).  Didn't Goyo think that Profar was getting overrated by a good BP performance and that otherwise they were similar SS prospects?  (Edit: Checked up a bit and, as of March, he stood by his story).
  • Randol Rojas.  I don't know what to make of him.  DSL co-pitcher of the year last year but isn't MPerez/Profar young (he's 20) and while BBTiA had him at a respectable #22, they project him to be a #4-5 starter.  There seems to be more buzz about him than that but I don't really know what to make of it.
  • Interested to see what Pimentel and Yan do.  Maybe Zach Osborne as well for unknown reasons (although his stats won't be as telling).

Anything else interesting about the roster?

Yeah, Profar and Pimental are the two I'm most keen on

Although I don’t have high hopes for Guillermo.

Andrew Clark, too.

Also of note, Alfaro and Deglan are staying back in the complex league. Not surprising, but reduces the catcher sexiness of this roster massively.

If he spends one more year there

they should just change their team name to the Spokane Yans.

As an org, it appears we are becoming more and more dependent on the talent influx to come from LA, because that 2010 draft collective looks ugly. It will change a bit as guys like Nicholas, Reyes and Olt come in, but still…

I mentioned to Jason Cole that I hoped the Rangers might think about offering a contract to Dallas Baptist OF Ryan Enos. Why not at least let him try to battle for playing time?

What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.

We need these.

Wait.

That post says @Tri-City, but the schedule for the Dust Devils says @Spokane. I’m assuming the post was a mistake, right? Otherwise, I’m going Friday.

I assume so

It’s Scott’s post so maybe he knows something different than the schedule

Ovi Santos

I’m calling him Santa Egg from now on.

one and one and one is three

awesome

any thoughts on Sardinas? Is this just the Rangers wanting to get him regular playing time? Also, is Profar definitely ahead of Sardinas in your mind?

by ab03 on Jun 14, 2010 5:13 PM CDT up reply actions  

Jason Parks and I are in agreement

that Sardinas’ ceiling is probably a tad higher than Profar’s, but Profar is undoubtedly the more advanced player. Sardinas also has a mature approach/plate discipline, but Profar’s swing is more advanced from both sides, he’s probably a bit more polished defensively and––most importantly at this point––his body is more mature. Sardinas is rail-thin and would probably be getting the bat knocked out of his hands constantly in Spokane.

Interesting...
Johan Yan gets back to Spokane––as a sidearming reliever.
