So is that the issue with Jungmann? Steve Blass syndrome?

 

If so, that may be that with him. What a crazy situation. The guy looked like Tom Seaver until September then kaboom.

I agree. This has not been the minor league season I had hoped for. Very few players have made the leap.

 

I know we were looking at a top 10 system to start the year, I wonder where we rank now?

Opinion or link? I couldnt find midseason rankings of farm systems, only top 100 lists of players?

All the starters in Colorado Springs have high ERA's. I'm not that concerned. Besides wind, altitude and umpire inconsistencies being factors in a majority of games, a lot of times at AAA, players are being put into positions that they have no business playing, such as Wilkins in the OF. For instance last night, Orf gets moved to 3rd base (Middlebrooks callup), plays that Middlebrooks makes at 3rd, Orf doesn't. Instead of no runs in the first, it ends up being 3 runs. I like Orf, but he needs to stay at 2nd. A number of miscues and bad defense last night cost them the game. Yes, I watched the whole game. Last year Thornburg was absolutely horrible at AAA (think his era was above 7)...and this year, well he's performed great.
