Minor League Updates

Julio~
I don't know if there is a place for him im Arkansas. McGaughan,Dunn, Moore, Sheffield, Crismatt and Sanchez already there as starters. Moore can go to AAA and suck for all I care but not sure in any of the other 5 are ready. Crismatt is first that should be promoted though imo.

I bet it's the near the end of July or August.

Edit, also, Newsome and Murfee probable need to be promoted to Arkansas sooner than Gilbert.

Ljay Newsome 5'11"
Scouting grades: Fastball: 50 | Slider: 55 | Curveball: 45 | Changeup: 40 | Control: 70 | Overall: 40
mlb.com says he throws 90-94, he has 12+k/9 under 1BB/9 3.51 ERA he has a 4 pitch mix. There is some elements to like.

Which reminds me
George Kirby 6'3"
Scouting grades: Fastball: 60 | Curveball: 55 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 60 | Overall: 50
Led the college ranks with a 17.8 to 1 k/BB ratio and .6 BB/9 but shouldn't that control rating be like a 75?
If this is true, you are looking at pin point control of a well above average fastball,above average CB, and slider, average change-up and top of the line control of that arsenal.

I like the pick.

Justice today 5 innings 4 hits, 1 run 2BB, 7 Ks.

Something to build on.

Lewis was 2-3 with a double and 2 BB today.

Just like any (or I should say 95 percent) milb hitters, he's going to have his poor stretches. I think the thing to do with these guys is to look at months and the final year total. I think he's going to have a solid season and then really emerge next year.

Is it too early to mention that pitcher heavy draft has Everette's roster with all but 1 of 8 pitchers with 0.00 ERAs . This includes our 4th rounder Tim Elliott starter.

That's what you said last year......

Lol. Same argument people keep using for Dee Gordon and Mallex Smith.

But, the last week he's been hitting great!

Well, yeah, but he still has a .630 OPS on the season...

I wonder when Kirby gets his first start in for the ASox. I couldn't find anything.

Kelenic has now been out for TWO WEEKS. Is it too much to ask for to have both JRod and Kelenic, 18yo and 19yo kids playing baseball to be healthy at the same time????????????????????????????????
