Hot or Not in the Minors

[D-train]

Can they send JK back to Tacoma for a month without blowing his Super Two status?

If he doesn't start hitting, then he doesn't deserve the "super 2" status.

Not sure why they would worry about his Super 2. Do they not want to make him mad again??

Is this hot?
Tacoma Rainiers Outfielder Taylor Trammell Named Triple-A West Player of the Week for May 17-23
Mariners prospect ranked top-5 in eight offensive categories, tied for league lead in hits during six-game tear.
Taylor Trammell was named the Triple-A West Player of the Week for May 17-23 after the prospect hit .440 (11-for-25) and ranked top-5 among league leaders in eight offensive categories over the six-game stretch for the Tacoma Rainiers. The honor is Trammell’s first Player of the Week selection at any professional level.

Trammell hit safely in all six games for Tacoma, compiling 11 hits for a share of the league lead. The outfielder also led the circuit in extra-base hits (7) and tied with Rainiers catcher Cal Raleigh and one other player for the most doubles (5). The Powder Springs, GA native also finished top-5 in RBI (7), slugging (.880), OPS (1.287) and total bases (22).

After being optioned by Seattle on May 12, Trammell joined Tacoma for the start of their series at Salt Lake the next day. The 23-year-old logged five straight multi-hit games and amassed 14 RBI in those contests. Trammell enters Monday riding a Rainiers season-long 10-game hitting streak.

Trammell reached the threshold for qualified at-bats on May 21 and currently leads all Triple-A hitters this season in batting average (.512), slugging (.977) and OPS (1.487) while ranking top-10 in OBP (.511), RBI (16) and total bases (42).

One thing to remember about the minors, we're better off having shitty teams with a few can't-miss prospects then good teams with several good minor league players. 95 percent of those guys are just there to fill out rosters.

We its seems we have both so I am finding following the minors a hell of a lot more enjoyable and interesting than the clown car of a team we have in the big leagues.

Maybe Cal should piss and moan and he will get promoted like JK did. He went 3-4 with a bomb and is now hitting .338/1.032

for the Not side of the ledger, my namesake starter Darren McCaughan sucks.

He was great in AA, so that must mean he's ready to start for the Mariners That's why you need to see these players go through all the steps before calling them up though. Hopefully we see McKinney make that jump to AAA soon to see if he can handle it.

Yeah I think they are actually handling Cal fine. Its just when you compare his path to to JKs he has to be thinking hey why aren't I being promoted.

A lot of pitchers have made the jump from AA to the bigs albeit most are relievers. LJ pitched 10 innings in AAA. Dunn pitched Zero. Marge pitched zero. McKinney could do it and he would probably be fine.

I’d rather Cal force his way up There is infinitely more to learn to call a game hopefully we have the right coaches to bring him up properly. Zunino has turned into a decent player. It takes time.
