Liveblogging the Futures Game, Part Four

peoples eyes Dayan has been a disappointment this year, but he has constantly been making adjustments and taking everything the other way this year at Birmingham. Alot of sox fans think he will wind up like Carlos Lee, i think thats a fair comp.

how is his defense?

at 3B, or will he be a 1B?

when

I seen him down at Jackson TN, I thought he looked solid and fluid over at 3B; he could still afford to loose some more weight, but I came away thinking he might not need a position change. I think in the second half we will see his power really come on, and his approach at the plate has gotten better month by month.

Castro's homer

was against a left? Nice!

What KG said:

Look, lots of credit to Castro and everything, but that was an incredibly bad pitch.

Not a bad adjective for what we've seen thus far from him.

Not loose and flowing I think would also work.

by byronlhsdrmr on Jul 12, 2025 8:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

gotta get a pitch to be able to hit it, showed a good eye not tryingto force it and be a hero. Also smart to swipe the bag and remove the force

yes and a season ticket holder for 10+ years. Strange to hear from a braves fan the group that cant even sell out playoff games.

But those type of comments arent needed here.

Stanton did look nervous up there some I think would be a better statement for it then clunky but he didnt look horrid overall just didnt wait for his pitch the first time and this time he was very cautious. The key there is to get on to try to get the chance to be a run not to force what isnt there. :)

It was a good game to see overall

too bad Mejia missed the game

would have been interesting who threw harder Feliz or Mejia.

Feliz hit 101 at least twice

Gillies

BA tweeted the following after the game:

“Three position players who stood out for scouts: Brett Lawrie, Jason Heyward, Tyson Gillies”

Is this guy going to be a top 50 to 75 prospect at the end of the season?

ugh

i was there tonight, but living 3 hours away we couldn’t afford to stick it out so long since we’ve all got to work in the morning. got to see a half an inning and get a picture with alyssa milano (who is super hot in person). quite a shame.
