2-4, 2B. He’s repeating the MWL after a brutal season last year and is making great strides. .279/.339/.502 (.223 IsoP is excellent for the league) with 9 HRs and greatly improved walk and strikeout rates. He has been projected to possibly develop plus power, and since he’s only 20 years old this could be evidence of him making good on his tools.

Between Chavez, Moises Sierra and Eric Thames, the Jays have a nice collection of interesting below-the-radar OF prospects.

FB: 85-88
SL: 79-81
CH: ridiculous amount of variance, anywhere from 71-80
CURVE: 71-75

Smoltz went almost exclusively fastball and slider in the first four innings with an occasional CU. Then, he broke out a somewhat loopy curveball in the fifth inning just for Brad Eldred. The slider’s still an out pitch. He would have only given up two runs if it weren’t for the fact that Jon Van Every and Paul McNaulty decided both to not call a fly ball into the gap that essentially cost the PawSox the game.

On the other side, Garrett Mock looked good for really the first time this season and J.D. Martin is a freak, I have no idea why he is not in the show right now. He’s much better than Stammen

2-4, HR

Grandslam tonight

4th hr in 50+ ab’s, surprising power.
