Cegarra

some google searching found me this from http://royaltower.blogspot.com/2008/02/trt-prospects-kids.html

Edward Cegarra, RHP
Birth: 2/27/1989
Ht: 5’ 11”, Wt: 175

Edward Cegarra was signed out of Venezuela in the summer of 2005. He spent the 2006 season in the Dominican Summer League, and just flat out dominated the competition down there. He was slated for the Appalachian League for the 2007 season (Thanks to Royals Corner for that bit), but an injury came up and he went straight to Burlington. Cegarra pitched well up until August, when he posted a 8.47 ERA for the month. With a fastball 90-92 and the makings of a solid slider, Cegarra could really make a move up the charts in 2008.

Cegarra

He’s been said to be the Royals best pitcher to come out of the Dominican in a while. That’s not exactly saying much considering the only other pitcher I can think of in the upper minors is Carlos Rosa (but he is really good now).

28/1 K/BB is sick.

ah finally

Good to see Moustakas finally showing some power. I’m still thinking it’s too early to give up on him

Hey fish, leave those kids alone!

by The Congo Hammer on Apr 29, 2008 1:03 AM EDT reply actions

um

yeah it would be a BIT early to give up on him

I will be waiting...24601.

Todd

What are the Cards plans for him, 6 G, 3 GS

by Deech on Apr 29, 2008 1:03 AM EDT reply actions

todd

they are using a piggy back system, so he alternates between starting and the pen.

by fewgoodcards on Apr 29, 2008 8:34 AM EDT up reply actions

i would hope people arent giving up on Moustakas yet. The dude is 19. If you’re an adult, think back to when you were 19. That should calm any nerves about some of these kids playing professional baseball for the first time away from home.

Response

Midwest League tends to be very hard on teenagers, especially those who grew up in warm-weather states.

The numbers are going to come around and he’ll post a decent line by year’s end.

lars anderson blows up

Lars Anderson: 4-4, 2 homers, 1 double. His ISO coming in was a worry, but now he’s comfortably back over .200.

by whichthat on Apr 29, 2008 1:42 AM EDT reply actions

eh

Lancaster—he needs to do more on the road before I get excited.

I will be waiting...24601.

One of Rasmus' home runs was to left field

that’s a good sign.

Mariners guys

Clement: 3-5, 2B, BB, 2 R (.397/.535/.692). Call him up.
Balentien: 3-6, 3 HR

Clement

...is an absolute animal. He’s my AL ROY prediction (even after missing a month)

WLAAAAD!

LaPorta

Guess I can get rid of the handgun, excess sleeping pills, and rusty razor blades now that I saw LaPorta’s name in the boxes last night.

You go, hero!

Stubbs

Interesting guy… Great numbers (348/425/543), but still strikes out a lot (27 in 92 AB). He’s also a (supposedly) great CF with terrific speed/baserunning instincts (13/13 SB). He has an eye-popping 32% LD rate (firstinning.com), so obviously he is centering the ball exceptionally well right now. That explains at least some of his ridiculous BABIP (.484).

He’s 23, so he should move pretty quickly, so at this rate, I think we’ll see him in AA pretty soon.
