Minor League Updates

Here's an interesting stat. Julio Rodriguez was 10 - 0 in base stealing last year. This year he is 1 - 3. Did he lose speed or did the catchers get better at a higher level?

My guess is a little of both. He is listed at 180, but probably closer to 220 right now. My guess is he has bulked up and lost a step. He is apparently still pretty fast for his size though, but 180-220 in about a year, he is bound to lose a step. Dominical league defense is pretty bad though. They have games where the errors for each team is like a football score 13-17.

I'll take the extra bulk if it results in HR's. He can always get to 2nd out of the batter's box. How many stolen bases did Edgar have???

49 including one in his final season at age 41 when he could barely walk.

I think he's going to be a Nelson Cruz that can be a plus defender in RF. He's 220 at 18, I bet he'll end up around 240, and will be hitting 450+ feet HR's (He hit one 242 the other day at 18 yo).

In addition to all his HR the last few weeks, on Friday he hit a single that hit the middle of the fence in RF, missed a HR by about 3 feet there. Dude is dialed in.

Looks like it hits the punch dude in the balls.

Is it just one guy that runs the Mariners Minors twitter? Pretty cool to keep updating all the prospects like he does. Do other teams have similar accounts?

Can't be just one guy, right? I once asked him if he was mad at his Mom for naming him Milb.

I don't know. I imagine him with a setup like this with all the games on at once.

Lol He once apologized because gameday was down and he couldn't provide any updates. I said "I thought you saw all the games in person" He must just love me. lol
