[Team Canada]

What's up with the whole season standings instead of just 2nd half?

[Trowekamp]

Is it to cheer it up as half our farm system has been promoted (Villy, Gallardo, Braun, Parra), traded (Inman, Garrison, Thatcher), or injured (Rogers, LaPorta, Braddock) or suspended (Salome).

 

My current top 5 position player follow list include:

 

1. Gamel

2. Brantley

3. Ford

4. LuCroy

5. Gillepsie

 

Top 5 pitcher follow list:

1. Jeffress

2. Miller

3. Amundsen

4. McClendon

5. Welch

 

Pretty slim pickings for how spoiled we have been in the minors that last 3 or 4 years.

[Boy Jeenius]

While I share your enthusiasm on Lucroy, it's too early to put rookie league stats into any semblence of potential. That's also true for Gillespie IMO, although I am regularly shouted down on him. Brewer and Cain would be my 4 and 5 for position players.

That would also be my observation on Anundsen as well. While he too is intriguing, putting up good rookie level #'s is nice, but at least produce some in A ball before making this list. Dillard would be on my list(for now) instead.

[TheCrew07]

I disagree with your pitchers...

 

1. Jeffress

2. Bryson

3. Tyson

4. Periard

5. Seidel/Anundsen

 

For position players I'd go.

 

1. Salome

2. LaPorta

3. Gamel

4 - 5 could be anyone from Brewer/Green to Brantley/Cain to Gindl/Lucroy to Ford/Gillespie. Based on raw tools I'd lean toward Brewer/Gindl

 

edit. Fixed Anundsen's name.

[Trowekamp]

Sorry I should be more more clear.. I didn't mean to say these were the top prospects just the ones I most likely look for first when checking box scores..

Taylor Green would be 6 on my list..

 

I agree that I don't get really excited until a hitter starts hitting in Brevard County or a pitcher starts pitching in Huntsville.

[Team Canada]

We probably shouldn't turn a Link Report into a thread ranking prospects.

Fine though it was meant to be a list of what prospects you like to follow which I thought was the intent of the link report.

[Team Canada]

which I thought was the intent of the link report.

 

Yes, the LR is great for following your favorite prospects. My point (to everyone, not you specifically) was just that if people wanted to have a discussion about which prospects they like to follow (by all means!), it would be preferable to start a new thread devoted to discussing exactly that, rather than the LR, which is meant just to have news about that day's games.

[MrBoozer]

Manatees/D-Rays washed away.

 

Double dip tomorrow starting at 5pm with pregame set for 4:45pm est. I will be riding solo from historic Holman Stadium in Vero Beach.

[Kevbo74]

does anyone have a number for how many games have been rain outs for the manatees?

How about just the number for July?

It's too many, either way. (because I currently check on Gamel first, used to be a tie, salome/gamel.)

[Never Outhustled]

Holy Calix Crabbe. 3-3, with 2 homers. Stars up 3-1. Calix will play MLB.

[TheCrew07]

Figures, after I posted his about OBP being higher than his SLG most years he's been a machine. I should maybe post a negative observation everyday about a player and we'd have the most productive system in the business. Gamel did that too, right after I called his SLG to that point in season, TGJ like...

 

Brantley's SLG is now 60ish points below his OBP. This virtually garuntees 5 HRs in the next month.

Stephen Chapman Ops'ing 1.000 this month...on pace tto maybe squek out 30 homers this year...

 

he also took a walk today...

 

steve strrikes me as the kind of guy that tries to swing his way out of slumps, because he knows when he's hot he can hit anything...

 

andy lefave should be in AA...

[Kevbo74]

It's Jeffress for the late night folks, if you are done watching the Brewers destroy the Cards.

(I'm still waiting for a Braun hit)

[Team Canada]

One more Helena win and all the Brewers (no, AZ doesn't count) will be in the playoffs.

[Kevbo74]

sweet, Braun got the hit I was looking for, and

Jeffress is pitching well

3 IP, 7 K, no walks, no hits thus far.

looks like he likes night games

[And That]

Jeffress not pitchin' too bad.

 

Edit: Helena wins! Playoffs for everyone not based in Maryvale!

[Never Outhustled]

Jeffress loses control in the 5th. I blame Kevbo the Jinxer. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Oh well, striking out 10 through the 1st 4 is still big time dominant.

[Kevbo74]

oh my god, what happened?? I updated to see if he mowed down everyone in the 5th.... and got a surprise.
