5/11 Minor league gameday


AAA: Jeff Manship vs Brad Lincoln, Hector Rondon, Matt Maloney

AA: Jake McGee, Mike Minor, Mark Rogers, Randy Boone, Stephe Fife, Clayton Tanner, Daryl Thompson

A+: Matt Moore, Ross Seaton, Nick Hagadone, Brock Huntzinger, Tim Melville, Jeff Locke,

A: Erasmo Ramirez, Charles Brewer.  SAL is off, not a lot of names on the mound I recognize

Star-divide

Kyle Gibson was promoted to AA earlier today (or was it last night?)  Clearly someone in Minnesota has been reading our minor league gameday threads.  Clearly...

Not bad on the come back trail. The Braves could sure use him right about now too.

Tennessee over Carolina 4-3

Don’t know Carolina players all that well off the top right now, but

Darryl Thompson – 7 ip, 7 h, 7 K’s, 2 r, 2:10 GO/FO.
Yonder Alonso – 0/4. Curious how he’s looked in the OF.

Tennessee -

Craig Muschko – 7 ip, 7 h, 2 K’s, 1 HR, 3 R, 8:11 GO/FO.
Josh Vitters – 2/3, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K.

charles brewer?

who is he? where does he project to slot in a rotation? what is his arsenal? is he someone i might want to consider adding to my fantasy team? is he dominating the midwest league simply because he is a little old for the league? any help would be appreciated

by psugator on May 11, 2010 6:20 PM EDT reply actions  

you'll be glad to know I know a bit about him

I drafted him in the Minor League Ball mock draft . . .out of high school.

Out of HS he was a projection guy whose stuff never really reached its potential, stuff isn’t all that much but he’s a polished strike-thrower against a bunch of kids so . . .yeah.

Gutierrez is weird

He could be a very good reliever . . .but it’s entirely possible that he ends up being a pretty decent starter if the Twins are patient.

funny how it works out

I was skeptical of the stuff but thought he’d have the command. Turns out his stuff jumped a notch or two but he can’t really control it that well.

I continue to have no clue what to think about him

That being said, it’s safe to say that some underestimated just how good of a pitcher he is.

by mrkupe on May 11, 2010 9:47 PM EDT up reply actions  

I did

I didn’t think he had swing and miss stuff. I seem to have been mistaken.

by Jeff Reese on May 11, 2010 9:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

well, it's hard to say if it'll stick

I mean, he could be just schooling a bunch of guys with well-placed pitches.

Even still, he’s making for a good reminder not to treat the talking points about prospects as dogma. This time last year, the first thing out of everybody’s mouth concerning Minor was “doesn’t have the stuff, future No. 4 starter”. Even if you don’t totally buy the numbers, there’s clearly something about Mike Minor that’s worth watching.

by mrkupe on May 11, 2010 10:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

+1

I’m a Braves fan and don’t know what the heck to think! He’s added velocity but has lost control of the strike zone. He’s been sitting 92-94 but walking way too many guys. Puzzling to say the least would I rather him to go back to 88-90 and better control or K tons of guys but walk the house………..(shoulder shrug)

by Jay212033 on May 12, 2010 12:39 AM EDT up reply actions  

ok

sitting 92-94? hey I believe ya, and have heard some of these reports also…I think it’s great, just let him keep developing and we could have a real solid NL #2 type.

by St.Steve on May 12, 2010 10:18 AM EDT up reply actions  

i like what he's been up2

I know, I know he doesn’t throw that hard—but he seems to be missing a lot of bats at the AA level, and really impressed Cox/Co. in spring.

by St.Steve on May 11, 2010 10:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

supposedly he's throwing pretty hard

I’ve seen things in the area of 90-92 MPH, which would be definitely above-average if not better for a LHP.

Wow Blackburn makes nearly identical money as Baker does now....

by SteveHoffmanSlowey on May 11, 2010 10:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

Still walking too much

I liken him to a Ted Lilly. Not super high on him, but apparently he has an extra tick on his fastball.

by bravitos5122 on May 11, 2010 10:06 PM EDT reply actions  

being Ted Lilly would be pretty great

The guy is a 2 time All Star, despite being something of an underachiever due to his annoying streakiness. If Minor could be something close to Lilly with more consistency . . .well, that’s quite the find by the Braves.

It’s possible but one of the things about Lee is he never walks anyone. Minor’s got a ways to go to get there…

Trout fiinished 2-4

with that double and a single.

like, every day he gets an XBH or a BB, and a SB… or he goes multi-hit. either way, he’s taking extra bases.

I’m telling you all, whatever Trout is selling, I’m buying it.

W Myers 0-4, 2 SO mehh
T Beckham, 0-2, 2 BB, SO [at least he is getting on base]
M Sweeney, 0-4, SO

do we think Davis is ever going to be a decent option at 1B? makes AAA his bitch every time he gets sent down, but gets called up and all of a sudden he’s the bitch.

miller

is he leap frogging the other doyer arms?

by Rupert Pupkin on May 12, 2010 3:00 AM EDT up reply actions  

yes

IMO-his stuff is real underrated around here…Not like it’s going to take that much to hop in front of the other dodger arms, right now. Still love Withrow, but man he is struggling with command and trending to a fly ball guy. Elbert seems to have very little idea where the ball is going and may be pen bound, again. Ethan Martin!!! is also erratic [currently] and may be another pen arm when it’s said and done—though a real good one. Lindbloom is a big arm and I don’t really know too much about him.

Miller should be in AA around summer, and we will learn a lot about him there.

by MagicMike23 on May 12, 2010 2:24 AM EDT reply actions  

I assume

they are going to take it real easy with him this year [ie 2-4 inning stints]…but it sounds like the velocity has returned after TJ. I have no real reason to doubt that his future still is in the rotation—though it may not be until next year.
