Ha! I’ve never started one of these. Gotta learn some time…
Freddie Freeman on the afternoon (Gwinnett 8 to 3 win over the Norfolk Tides in the series finale):
4-for-4, 2 HR, 2B, 3 R, 4 RBI, BB.
His OPS goes from 505 to 731. I love the early season stats.
Aroldis Chapman going today. Also: Scheppers, Rowell, Lyles, J.J. Hoover, Neil Ramirez
Others pitching today?
What else is going on out there?

Way to go Freddie!!!
As a Brave fan this is awesome news! Hope he keeps it up, I guess it took that one HR yesterday to get him going.

Been waiting for this guy to give me an excuse to move him up.
He has an awesome swing.

Trayce Thompson
1-2, HR
3 HR in 23 AB’s for him now.

wow
the progress this kid has made since his debut last season is nothing short of incredible
can anyone give me a rundown on this guy?
Strengths/weakness, potential that scouts may have mentioned?

This...
originally caught my eye with thompson, from march 2009:

Speaking of adjustments, BPs Goldstein wrote the other day that Thompson has "shown up this year with a much better idea at the plate and a significantly shorter and smoother swing.
Stuff
Very raw, terrific athlete (father was an NBA player). Impressive raw power potential.
I think most expected him to struggle through short season ball as he learns to play; the fact that he’s holding up okay in the Sally means there’s major helium here.

Dwyer's best start
Hosmer 2-4 and a walk.
would love to hear Dwyer’s velocity. was down in spring training.
baseball rules.
Juan Ramirez
Done for the day. 7 IP, 5H, 2ER, 1BB, 8K.
Andrew Lambo
Currently 3-3 with a double. Came into the game at .354/.404/.,563
The Dodgers won't win a playoff series until the Cool-a-Coo returns.

3 singles, 2 steals, 1 double tonight…. up to .388.
what do we make of him?
Solid
Skeptical of his power potential, but he’s got solid tools otherwise.
Plate discipline and defensive ability will decide his future. I don’t see him as a top 100 candidate at the moment, but he might reach the fringes by year’s end.

Xavier Avery
4 for 5 with 3 runs, a double, an RBI and a walk.
Now has 7 walks and 9 strikeouts. 5th youngest player in the CAR league.

Seriously not getting enough attention.
Still made #84 on my top 100.

As young as he is, the hit tool is amazing. Patience will likely come... too early to profile him that way. No clue yet.
Even if he moves to RF I’d like him a lot there. Kid can hit.

Yeah, I'm already factoring in a move to RF
If he happens to stick at 3B that’s just a bonus. I like his bat quite a bit.
Walks
This is something that gets overlooked for international signees. These guys are showcase players who are extremely raw and inexperienced. You can’t look at them the same way you do 18 year old Americans/Canadians.

Yeah
If he can become an MLB reliever that will be a bonus, Bedard trade is already one of the best!

hey frederick
do you ever leave the house?
Beat me to Dee
He’s my other “guy” this year I added to my minor league system.
4 BBs on the year...
Does it sound like I’m taking another shot at him? I’m not!
4 BBs and 10 Ks in 60 PAs this year is actually an improvement. He had 12 walks all of last year in 458 PAs.
His line was atrocious before tonight, though: .250/.300/.357. And, oh yeah, he may not stick at 3B.

Obviously nit-picking here, but I'd love to see Posey show a little more pop before he's called up.
I know he kept it around a .200 IsoP last year, but he’s the kind of guy I expect to click and DOMINATE in AAA before carrying it to the bigs.

Nice start for Main, there
Scheppers has 3 baserunners in his 4 appearances. 3. I’m worried about his splits, though, twice as many hits allowed against lefties. :)
Mendonca is the anti-Smoak. 13 K’s, 0 BB’s, 0 HR’s so far this year.
Beethoven sucks.
YEAH
Scheppers has been flat dealing. 13K’s in 8 innings. I suppose he’ll see AAA action in the next few months and then possibly the big club if they need the help.

So how long...
Until Scheppers is in the big league pen?
What do they do with Feliz?
Move him to the rotation, or use Scheppers to set him up?

Scheppers would likely setup
Feliz closes. I’d hate to be a lineup looking at Scheppers in the 8th and Feliz in the 9th.
Beethoven sucks.

Aaron Hicks 3-3 with a double
