David Perez has struck out 34 batters and allowed 37 to reach base.
Jorge Alfaro has an 877 OPS.
These two men are going to be disgustingly good at baseball.
No official move as of press time but looks like Davis is heading to the majors, which means there's a Mendonca-sized hole in Round Rock, which means there's an Olt-sized hole in Frisco. Anyone wanna tweet up @molt2222 and ask him how's the collarbone? Or... or does Renny handle 3B and Jurickson or Furcalito goes to Frisco?
That Jurickson thought is sexy, gentlemen.

Jake Brigham as a reliever- 15.1 IP, 16 H, 17:6 K:BB.
Ryan Strausborger has a 808 OPS on the season and a 907 vs LH. My dream that he becomes SuperGentry remains.

Omar Beltre hasn't pitched since July 3rd.
Alexi Ogando has an average fastball velo of 94.8 per Fangraphs, this year. Derek Holland is at 93.6. They are two of the top ten in average velo in MLB this year. The Rangers farm has developed two of the ten fastest fastballers. That is neat. Even neater is that CJ and Ogando are in the top 11 in MLB in fastball value per fangraphs.
Tanner Scheppers has allowed one hit in his last four outings, with no BB's and 3 Ks over 4 innings. That's also neat.
Jake Skole's last ten games have resulted in a 342/419/579 line. That's a 998 OPS with a 237 ISO.
Miggy has struck out 76 batters in 53 innings.
And then there's Chris Davis.

INB4 Holland's velo is inflated by only throwing four seamers
My mind just says throw ball throw hard and strike. - Marteen
This is somewhat of an interesting point
Whether you throw a 4 seam or a 2 seam fastball shouldn’t make a difference on the speed at which the ball comes out of your hand. It’s simply that a sinker loses more speed on the way to the plate due to air turbulence. So are you claiming that a radar gun actually reads the speed when the ball is closer to home plate? I don’t claim to know the answer, if you’re wondering.
"Evolution happened, now get over it." Michael Shermer
That data comes from Pitchf/x
And the quick and dirty I found was that they use three 30 fps cameras to track the ball from release to plate. I don’t want to say they don’t use radar, but I don’t think they use radar.
Wikipedia says
The two seam fastball will often have one or two miles per hour less speed than the four-seam fastball, however the slight pronation of the hand and off center spin on the ball will carry the ball down and toward the pitcher’s dominant side, down and to the right for right-handers, and down and to the left for left-handers.
But their cited page is 404’ed, so… there’s that.
Texasleaugers says there’s a 1+ MPH difference in the cumulative league average between 4S and 2S, which is a little less than I would have expected.
Mostly, I want Holland to start throwing a cutter or two seamer too.
My mind just says throw ball throw hard and strike. - Marteen
He's thrown a 2-seamer in the past.
Very, very rarely, though. Rarely enough that it could be a mistake in classification by Pitch F/X.

Absolutely.
He is young, has good defense from both sides of the diamond, and can mash the ball. I think the +.800 OPS in the big leagues this year might help his stock even more than the ungodly numbers at AAA.
Yes...
but it’s probably not as high as you’d like, and I really don’t want to see him go.
"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance."-Socrates
As is so often the case, no one says it better than the Gin Blossoms
If you don’t expect too much from him, you might not be let down.
My mind just says throw ball throw hard and strike. - Marteen
It doesn't help that he's slumping.
His OPS the last 10 games is below his seasonal OPS (1.188 v. 1.237).
Rock the J2, JD!
He has to have some value, but his home/road splits are getting worse.
Home
30 G .408/.447/.983
120 AB | 9 2B | 20 HR | HR every 6 AB
Road
16 G .288/.324/.561
66 AB | 4 2B | 1 3B | 4 HR | HR every 16.5 AB
Pretty dramatic splits. Hitting 20 HR in 30 G at home is like having a player hit 20 HR in a month. I still remember Juan Gonzalez’s hot July where he hit 15 HR. I would check the paper everyday to see how he did. Davis has hit 33% more HR over about the same time period. I still think what he’s doing at home is so insane that it is impressive anywhere, but the splits to put a damper on it a little bit.
I think Davis alone may be changing the park factors of RR
ha, but Im not really going to subtract too much from him for doing alot of it at home, even though its a hitters park. His ridiculous HR hitting would fly anywhere methinks, maybe have 2 or 3 less HRs in another park, but that’s still an insane number of HRs.
I really think he’s getting back to his 2008 self and I could see a solid 280/330/520 line from him in the majors if given a shot to play everyday. His on base might slip closer to 300 but he’d still be a valueable player with his ridiculous power.

Anyone know his status. I had high hopes for him. Wasn’t he regarded higher than Ogando a few years ago? Not sure? I think hevcould help if he is right and healthy.
He's either two or three years older than Ogando.

Did anyone read the Keith Law article on ESPN Insider today about Leonys?

It’s hard to not give a guy a plus on hit when he doesn’t miss pitches.
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
Yo
Texas has apparently already tweaked Martin’s swing by bringing his hands lower in his setup, which works to shorten a hitter’s path to the ball. That said, the 23-year-old can still get pretty long — he wraps the bat slightly around the back of his head and loads his hands fairly deep. To compensate for this, he starts his hands early and ended up out in front too often last night. In BP, he hits only with his hands, with little hip rotation, no stride, and a stiff front side that makes him look like one of Michelangelo’s Prisoner statues. In the game, however, he does stride and his whole front side goes soft, pulling his right shoulder back and his bat upwards in the process; with that kind of swing he’s going to tap a lot of groundballs to the left side.

I hope he's better
but I’m guessing the strengths and weaknesses are the same, great arm, good hands (though Profar’s are probably better than Jeter’s were at this age), average-ish range (no telling how Profar will age into his late 20’s and beyond).

Wow.
That’s certainly thought provoking. As with most Jeter@SS comparisons, I’m going to guess a (much) lesser hitter while being significantly better defensively (as measured by UZR).

Hard to expect
hall of fame offense from just about any prospect, but Parks’ scout comments of a 65-70 bat tool and closer to 50-55 or so power is at least the same kind of profile. You’d have to think that Profar doesn’t approach Jeter’s SB prowess, but some power years in the range of what Jeter has done wouldn’t surprise me. The longevity of offensive quality is impossible to project in a kid.
by Brett Perryman on Jul 22, 2011 3:38 PM CDT up reply actions
I was thinking this the other day, when I remembered that Elvis idolizes Jeter.
Profar is far more like Jeter on the field, but I have no idea how they compare as clubhouse guys.
I looked up Jeters minor league numbers, it wasn’t until his 3rd year that his walks exceeded his Ks and his power showed up.
Profar has him beat by a year in that regard.
Jeter was in AAA in his third year; Profar could be too.
Rock the J2, JD!
The character/clubhouse aspect
is one of the main reasons he reminds me of Jeter. I don’t know what Jeter was like at age 18, and what he went through early in his MLB career (championship teams) obviously moulded him as much as he moulded those early teams, but Profar’s intangible qualities are reportedly through the roof, and he is certainly an engaging, magnetic guy who loves to be on a baseball field.

The Illinois native was a 45th round draft pick of the Pirates out of high school but instead chose to attend Howard College in Big Spring. With a big frame and above-average velocity, Sadzeck has caught scouts’ eyes this spring. As a freshman this year, he posted a 3.56 ERA in 60.2 innings. He allowed 61 hits while walking 34 and striking out 49. He recently signed a letter of intent to play his sophomore season at the University of Texas.

There’s SOMETHING there, at least. RT @lonestarball: @Kevin_Goldstein Any thoughts on Tommy Mendonca? Do the glove & power make up Ks?

If he can continue this 900 OPS stuff
and put together something next year in AAA, it will get very tough not to think he’s got something.
"I’d love to walk in and hug everybody every day, but that’s not critical to us winning." The JeDi
Barret Loux knows the K
122 in 102 IP. 10 Ks in 6 2/3. His components are absolutely excellent so far. Hopefully we’ll get to see what he can do at AA for a month before the end of the year.
"I’d love to walk in and hug everybody every day, but that’s not critical to us winning." The JeDi
have we heard any medical stuff?
weren’t all of the experts saying that he was like Scheppers? only a finite number of pitches in the arm?

no idea
and unless someone has all the medicals, I think it would be hard to put a limit on someones arm. Those things are always fragile, but unpredictable.
"I’d love to walk in and hug everybody every day, but that’s not critical to us winning." The JeDi
I think there was a lot of jumping to conclusions with him
based on a shady move by the D-Backs.

would you guys be pleased if he turned into a switch-hitting version of Yunel Escobar without all the prima-donna crap?
I so would
>mfw
I've been thinking
how about Brian Roberts but a good defensive SS? Roberts at his best was a great doubles/extra base hitter who could take a walk. Not a big guy, but definitely had some pop in his bat. Didnt really hit for a huge average, but was more around .280 or so with a .350 or so OBP.
"I’d love to walk in and hug everybody every day, but that’s not critical to us winning." The JeDi
Through his peak, Roberts was a 4-7 WAR guy
Add that offensive performance to shortstop and add in positive defensive values and ohmygosh I want that.
My mind just says throw ball throw hard and strike. - Marteen
yea, exactly
but of all the guys I could think of, Im pretty sure for a middle infielder type Roberts profiles the closest offensively to the type of numbers Profar is putting up in A ball. Of course, who knows how the skills he has in the future will play in the majors. I always like Roberts and that would be an awesome outcome.
"I’d love to walk in and hug everybody every day, but that’s not critical to us winning." The JeDi
One thing is that Roberts is a faster guy who stole a ton of bases
thats not what Profar is going to be diong in the Majors,

Converted infielder, for those who aren’t up to speed on him.
Rock the J2, JD!
Could be interesting.
No one really bit on it when I posted it in the Beltran trade thread. So, I guess there haven’t been leaks lately.
But, here’s some good news. Finally confirmation of a couple of the J2 guys:
Texas also signed Venezuelan pitcher Yohander Mendez to a 2012 contract. The 16-year-old is a 6-foot-5, 175-pound left-hander who played for Magallanes in the Venezuelan Winter League this past offseason.
Outfielder Eduard Pinto, 16, also signed a 2012 contract with the Rangers. Pinto, who stands at 5-foot-10 and weighs 155 pounds, also played for Magallanes in the Venezuelan Winter League last season.
Rock the J2, JD!
Word leaked that we had a deal with those guys a while ago
but still doesn’t make it any less awesome. now lets sign the FIsh[er] men and call this year the runner up to the greediness that was the 07 season

Based on his stats is it not fair to say that he has not been very good in low A ball?
Now, it may be ok that he has been stinking there (b/c of his age/experience, etc) but no one can deny the fact that low A ball has not been kind to Kellin Deglin.
He's a catcher
if he’s a slightly below average hitter, he’ll be quite valuable.

I seriously thought about saying I was feeling a HR in his debut
but I talked myself out of it. I figured he hasn’t been focusing on baseball at all since he had much more important things to worry about. Then he goes out and hits a HR in his 1st AB.
hehe
well done Clark. Definitely routing for this guy.
"I’d love to walk in and hug everybody every day, but that’s not critical to us winning." The JeDi
Skole at .385/.385 OBP/SLG
can he get to .400/400 by the end of the year? He’s been doing better and better.
"I’d love to walk in and hug everybody every day, but that’s not critical to us winning." The JeDi
probably not on the SLG

well, seems to sit around 94-95 as a starter so who knows
thats good velo for a starter. That’s probably 60 grade by itself (I have no idea though) so maybe a little movement and its 70? Total speculation.

DSL Rangers OF Chris Garia is hitting .386/.470/.471 this month. Switch-hitting 18 y/o from Curacao is perhaps fastest player in the system.

@zywica Not much baseball background – was a sprinter. So he was raw. Bet he’s at instructs though. Coaches saying he has improved a ton.
If he’s faster than Sardinas, that is FAST. 75-80 grade speed?
"Certainly, we were penalties, and we stopped ourselves." - Les Miles
oh that is awesome
I remember reading when he signed that he was a sprinter, and then thinking there’s gotta be huge never-getting-off-the-ground potential. Very encouraging that he has, indeed, gotten off the ground. And switch hitting and showing patience, no less. Now just gotta see if he has any power in him.
Tepesch, 7/26 -- Hickory rotation playin' with shrooms head!
Hickory totally screwed with the order of their rotation. Instead of Buckel today, it’s Tepesch. He did quite well this morning: 6IP, 2H, 0R, 4BB, 4K, 6:3 GO:AO
Also, I’m sad to report, Skole has made an out today. Three of them. All by K.
Profar 1-2 with a BB.
Tellis, playing catcher (hmmm, though Deglan caught last night which would be a quick turnaround) goes deeeeep. 1-3 with HR (9).
Villanueva did too. 1-1 with HR (13) and BB. Too sexy for the Mets.
Hickory is up 3-0 after 7.
Also, it’s indescribably cool that Perez and Erlin can pitch on the same day.
Rock the J2, JD!
