Link Report for Wednesday 9/16 - Southern League Championship Series, Game One in Biloxi

Thankfully for this team made baseball something to look forward to in this terrible major league season.

I'm inclined to agree that Arcia's debut will be big, and if we had a 3rd base prospect in AA or AAA to be excited about, I might even imagine that loading the majors with those young guys and having a chance they might all go Astros 2015.

Orlando Arcia is a beast. Fantastic season, and he really turns it on during the playoffs. Pretty neat that the Shuckers in their first season have this awesome roster who are this close to winning a championship. It's just AA baseball, but winning a championship at any level is pretty special. And this is a special team.

His growth rate season to season has just been unreal & rapid. Same could be said for Phillips. Both 21, each season they have taken giant leaps forward, both are something that we haven't had in long time. They are top 20-30 prospects in baseball. Arcia making a case for Top 5....considering he was fringe top 100 & stuck behind Tyrone Taylor by many coming into the season, that is a pretty good rise!

 

Both of them seem to just have that it factor, swagger, & clutchness that we haven't had much of since the untuckem crew (Fielder, Braun, and rest of gang).

 

Issue is that they have made such rapid gains every year and both still have plenty if projection left. Some may call me crazy but if Arcia starts to fill out, with his natural swing/power I honestly could see him hitting 15-20 HRs a season once he hits prime. I just don't want to see them rushed. There is no hurry. I believe both should be in AAA, still learning to win as a group & still growing there game. Bring them up August or September like Santana this year. 2017 will be their year to shine. August/September will give them that 1st taste, experience, and allow them to adjust. Same goes for Lopez, Hader, Wagner, Houser unless absolutely needed

 

I call Biloxi in 3 again, offense is roasting, and pitchers have been incredible! Just clicking on a Cardinals in 2011 September to October level
