Go steward and go Jenkins,
Poor Jenkins good pitcher on a pretty good team, with a great Era, and a horrible horrbile record? wierd.
That is weird...How could that possibly happen?!?

Well its wierd the dunedin team is 29-24. not to bad
Jenkins record is 3-5 with a 2.78 ERA, pretty good but probably just not getting the run support.
Daniel Tillman
Anyone have any ideas, or better yet links, as to why he’s suddenly pitching out of the bullpen after throwing very effectively in the rotation for the first month and a half?
I realize that he was drafted as a reliever and, to a certain extent projects there, but LAA said they were going to try him in the rotation and he did pretty well there. Seems odd to move him back after a month and a half.
To limit innings? Just a guess.

dodgers are gonna soon promote him to AA even tho hes been horrible… but theres a catch… they have gave up on him being a starter cause he is so damn inconsistent… hes gonna be a reliever
Logan White is losing his magic
Hopefully Z.Lee pans out, otherwise that would be 3 straight 1st Rd pitching busts.

That is, unless you think he’s actually interested in learning about the person being referred to.

Good news
Hopefully he’s healthy and can get back on the field again.
Just seems kind of early
Innings are the first thing I thought too but why not wait until midseason or whenever. Is he going to throw out of the bullpen the rest of the year? Does he go from starting to relieving and back to starting? If so, that seems like some unnecessary jerking around.
Odd timing is all.

he outpitched Kyle Gibson tonight, albeit against a worse lineup and 1 level lower.
I love Liam Hendriks, the guy reminds me a bit of Kevin Slowey, with all that COMMAND only Hendriks gets GROUNDBALLS, SLowey is extreme fly-ball pitcher similar to Scott Baker.
I wonder how much more, if any, BB likes him now?

Is he the clear 2nd best SS prospect in the minors now? I would have to say yes.
by PhillyPhanatic on Jun 4, 2011 12:25 AM EDT up reply actions
Shoot, maybe
I’d say he is both neither clealy worse than Manny Machado, nor clearly better than Hak Ju Lee.
"if it first you don't suceed, maybe you just suck" - Kenny Powers
good point
Lee completely slipped my mind. And to be perfectly honest I don’t know much about him, I’ve never had him on my personal radar. But from what I’ve read around here he is definitely legit. Machado I still see as the #1 based on the power potential and relatively the complete package and he is meeting the expectations of him. Profar is 2nd to me (because I don’t know much about Lee) and because he is showing a great slg% for someone his size and proving the nay sayers wrong. And he’s doing this consistantly, not in like a 2 week binge. Also the bb/k ratio is spectacular, I honestly didn’t know his plate discipline was that good. He is out performing everyone’s expectations so everyone is scrambling to project what type of player he will be, but whatever it is he looks to be really great. Additionally, between him and machado depending on how much machado bulks up i believe profar has the better chance to stay in the middle infield either at ss or 2b. I have no documented proof of this, this is just my personal gut feeling (somewhat influenced by the AROD comps)

The jump to AA is the hardest in the minors. So though it was just good from a Miller start it was a great sign that his first start he was able to put a solid line together. The kid is going to be a star.

At least I hope so. Simon is in extended spring training, working on some things, but as far as I know his injury was an oblique strain. His numbers arte ugly indeed but, I dont think there is any fundamental reason to drop him or feel any different towards him as before. Just my opinion.

Big night: 3 for 3, 2 doubles & 1 homer, one walk. Back on track his last nine games with 7 doubles.
Tim Wheeler
1 for 3 but 2 walks. Fourth 2 walk game in his last nine. He’s currently in line with his historical walk and strikeout rates with significant improvement in contact and power.

he looked great. Consistently at 91-95 range with his fastball and made some hitters look silly with his changeup.
Dustin Ackley
Thus far….
2-3/ 3b /1r/ 0rbi
Better than last night
Though he did have 2 walks and a hit(?) then. Also is definitely underrated defensively. I watched him make some great plays and turn atleast 4 Double plays

Small sample size noted
But its still a damn good start after he entirely skipped High-A and went straight to Double-A.
No doubt, Woo!
I was simply preempting the responses that I (we) acknowledge it’s only been 5 games.
Good report on him and the rest of the Curve at the best Bucs site on the net, PiratesProspects.com. Seems his defense needs a lot of work, but he has plenty of time to become adequate if his bat continues to play up the way it has.
by CabreraKilledMyChildhood on Jun 4, 2011 12:02 AM EDT up reply actions
Agreed about the website
I link Tim’s stuff every chance I get on here, trying to get the guy some more traffic. I’m really looking forward to his draft work, as he breaks a lot of new there.

I am starting to like it, actually.....
Taking the injury concerns out of it (since they are unpredictable, to say the least), I would rather have and the Pirates need an ace moreso than a stud 3B, which I believe Rendon can be. If Cole sports two pitches that are both plus-plus, which most say he does, then I trust out development staff to teach fb command down in the zone like they are currently doing with Jameson. If Law and others, including guys that I trust, have Cole above Jameson right now, I can’t see how the Bucs pass some like that up.
Cole, Heredia, Jameson, and Allie…….consider me stoked.
Please no injuries, God……..

Considering I’ve lost 2 of my propects to TJ surgery this week, the performance from Matt Curry is keeping me from a suicide watch.
by rblythepittsteel on Jun 4, 2011 9:50 AM EDT up reply actions
Not my money, so my pick would be Bundy.
However, I understand that the pick probably should be Rendon or Cole. The Pirates have seen the medical records of Rendon, apparently, and if the injury is legitimately scary, then I agree with the Cole pick.
Never seen the guy in my life, but his stuff is said to be absolutely filthy, and he should move relatively quickly. Pirates might have the highest upside group of pitchers in the minors next week.
Know this might not be the place but no one posted yet...
Well someone at my work got arrested for driving without a license. And guess who gets to take over his shift!?!? ME! I will be here at 2 PM EST. Not sure how long these things normally run so I could come back to help out towards the tail end of it maybe. I apologize for this obviously this was a unforeseen incident for all mortals.

Yes
80 speed, premier defense in CF and a good hit tool. He got unfairly panned for his BB totals last year. The power is probably a product of the Cal league, but he’s a very good prospect.

Brandon Jacobs 2-4 HR
Jeremy Hazelbaker 2-5, 2B, HR
Alex Hassan 3-5
Chih Hsien Chiang 4-5 3B HR. Coming completely out of nowhere and hitting 312/356/601 as a 23 year old LF.
Will Middlebrooks 2-5
Lars 2-4 HR
Iglesias 1-3 WITH A WALK HOLY SHIT
Brandon Workman 4.2 IP 8 H 4 ER 1 BB 7 K
Anthony Ranaudo (High A debut) 6 IP 8 H 4 ER 1 BB 5 K, apparently atrocious defense was played by Salem tonight which did him no favors.
Brandon Jacobs of Lowell > Brandon Jacobs of NYG
Chiang
He’s always shown some pop, but he’s streaky as heck. I’m a bit wary of reading too much into the numbers right now, as it feels like a really hot hot streak carrying him through May.
Cubs
Iowa loses to Nashville, 5-1.
Alberto Cabrera: 5 ip, 8 h (1 solo HR), 2 bb, 1 HBP, hit by 1 pitch, 9:3 GO/FO, 5 R, 1 K.
Moves like Cabrera’s bump to AAA and LeMahieu’s bump to the majors get me frustrated. The latter needed regular AB’s, regular PT, IMO, something he wasn’t going to get in the bigs, particularly when the intent was for him to fill Jeff Baker’s role. The former was struggling in AA, which wasn’t surprising. Some thought he was bumped up due to some system movement that had occurred, and would go back down when things settled. The other possibility might be a “sink or swim” situation in regards to Alberto staying as a starter (as he always profiled as a potential pen arm).
Huntsville blasts Tennessee 7-2.
Brett Jackson: 1/4, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI. I’ll take positives where I can find them – HR and 2nd game where he hasn’t struck out, after striking out 6 times in his first three games after coming back.
Charlotte hammers Daytona, 10-2. Odd series, blowouts every game. Nothing really notable on the player front.
Great Lakes beat Peoria, 4-3.
Matt Szczur: 1/4, 1 K, 1 CS.
Ryan Cuneo: 2/4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K.
Graham Hicks: 5 ip, 6 h, 1 bb, 1 WP, 5:4 GO/FO, 1 R, 3 K’s.
DSL Orioles beat DSL Cubs 1, 5-2.
Jefrrey Baez: 1/3, 2 R, 2 BB, 1 K, 2 SB.
Francisco “Daniel” Sanchez – 2/4, 1 BB, 2 K, E.
DSL Cubs 2 lost to DSL Rangers
Carlos Penalver: 2/3, 1 R, 2 BB, CS. Normally wouldn’t make a comment on DSL, but Ben Badler tweeted about Penalver (positively) a few times tonight. One of the rare Cubs big LA signings (550 K is big for the Cubs down there).
Jeimer Candelario: 2/4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 K.
DSL Cubs 2 is typically the weaker Cubs squad, but Penalver/Candelario/Antonio Gonzalez were three of the Cubs bigger signings there in 2010.
Other note: In case it wasn’t noted, Robert Whitenack is going to have Tommy John. Big blow, as he had really broken through, with his velocity jumping, and his consistency on his secondary pitches improving. Bruce Miles noted on his blog that there was spec he could’ve gotten a September call-up. There’s some talk that Dallas Beeler, a very intriguing arm in his own right, could head to AA.

Much respect to your daily updates of Cubbie prospects, as they are both informative and thorough. Keep them coming, dude……they are appreciated.
By the way, what were/are your thoughts on the Garza trade? Thanks in advance……
by CabreraKilledMyChildhood on Jun 4, 2011 2:41 AM EDT up reply actions 1 recs
re:
first off, thanks.
2nd, the garza trade. i thought the value was fine, and i understood the trade. Didn’t love it, as I thought the Cubs gave up a lot of good young pieces, and I didn’t think they were ready to contend this year. I do think Chirinos will be in the bigs and likely as a starting catcher. I think Archer will make the bigs in some role. I thought Guyer was more of a 4th OF pre-trade, but dang if I’m starting to change my mind on that a bit. Lee should, at least, be a good glove shortstop.
That said, Garza is a piece that could be around if the Cubs develop another core so it isn’t as if I thought the Cubs were robbed.
First Lamb...
I’m dying right now. Not much blood left. I lose John Lamb to TJ surgery this week and now Robert Whitenack. I owned both of these guys in my dynasty league. If another one of my prospects gets hit with TJ surgery in the next couple days, my suicide will be complete…
