    I'm not going to pretend to tell which HS ss is better than the others so im relying on scouts for them. So I wouldn't hate it

    Erie has always been a smaller park. WM and Lakeland are pretty big, I think, and it hasn't been uncommon over the years for our guys to really pick up power numbers when they get to AA.

    Yep, WM notoriously has been a pitcher friendly park where pitchers numbers are inflated and hitters generally struggle especially in HR department (park and usually first time with wood bat). No lack of power in AA. Think Stewart hit close to 30 HR in Erie in a season

    Age also has something to do with it. Low A isn't going to have as many HRs usually because guys are younger and not as good, too.

    Quintana hitting .130 in low A ball. Still think he’s tired? MG2 and smeegsgreen

    He needs his rest for next season. I’d shut him down now.

    I’m not the one that claimed he was tired when he was sucking ass two years ago.

    The tired schtick is you being thirsty enough for validation to keep looking up how some scrub in the low minors, who none of us will ever hear of again otherwise, is hitting so you can told-you-so from some meaningless throwaway debate from two years ago.

    Don’t need validation. I simply asked if he was still tired.

    mans he was a 2nd round pick. Yes I keep up on the scrubs in the minors. Deal with it.

    He was in a bit of a slump before the other guys got promoted. Really, really hoping he and Torkelson light it up and end the season in Toledo. At least one of them needs to make the squad out spring training.

    He was really leaning out and extended to get at that. Amazing he hit that out.

    Amazing we have no depth in the minors. Fucking Willy Peralta is the best we got?

    And as far as the Quintana thing, based on my 2 minutes of searching here is the extent of that conversation that apparently needs to be revisited over and over again.

    RBI double for Greene in 4th

    Single away from cycle with 5 innings left (maybe 4 if keep lead)

    We lucked out on that one. JJ Bleday who I think Avila would have taken over Greene has been awful.

    I think one of our scouts had a kid on Greenes HS team. Had plenty of chances to see him

    Yeah, I think we were taking Greene no matter what that year except for possibly if Vaughn had fallen to us because of the connection we had to his HS team (which isn't really a great reason to take a guy with the 5th pick, but seems to be working out so far).

    You're belaboring the shit out of it. We've all had bad takes. Your need to keep bringing this one up is much worse than the original take, which apparently you made up and attributed to MG2. Give it a fucking rest.

    I was thinking early how much we are going to be screwed come August/September when Mize/Skubal/ Manning reach their innings cap for the year. We have almost no pitching depth in AAA.

    Grossman has been cold. Hitting in the .230s now. Think Schoop and Mize at minimum ahead of him. Baddoo has actually played better than him for a good chunk now but he probably doesn't play enough.

    I think schoop has a good shot, veteran and can play multiple positions so they can put him on bench and throw him in late in a few spots

    Hopefully he’s released on Tuesday. May as well give Robson a shot at this point.

    Manning with a very efficient five innings today. He should be able to for at least one more should Hinch so choose.
