Not sure why they’re higher on Liranzo than Briceno.  The K/BB rates are night and day

Because Liranzo  is a switch hitter who can actually stick at catcher and has an above average ops in AA while being young for the league.  He also has a history similar to Dingler of a significant adjustment period to a new league-probably in part to handling the pitching staff.

 

Briceno is a better hitting prospect, but Liranzo has a true chance to be a power hitting.775-.850 switching hitting catcher which there aren’t to many of.

Yep...like Mickey Tettleton back in the 90's.  Advanced stats weren't much of a thing back then so his OBP and good power numbers didn't get the respect they deserved

OK, so not to play too much into things but since he has changed his stance he has actually played really well. I can't remember the exact date but it was around 6/19. Since 6/19 he has a .275/.409/.480 line good for .890 OPS while walking 18.9% of the time and K'ing 26%. Now will that translate to the Majors? No idea but he has played much better for the last 6 weeks than his season numbers reflect.

Briceno first homer at AA. SGL pitching even better than Jack.

[SoCalTiger]

2027 Skubal will sadly be gone but these kids will be up and the winning will continue. The song remains the same. 

[Shinzaki]

Small sample size..but it's nice to see Clark posting better numbers in AA than high A

SGL still only about 50IP since the surgery layoff. Hopefully he's still building to his 100% mark.

just a guess, but I suspect he was bored at WMI - the BB was sky high because pitchers did not want to throw him strikes

My Occam's Razor guess is park effects/weather.

Since we are getting closer to the end of the DSL let's check in on our 2025 signees. These are the more notable signings, and as always, any DSL/FCL stat lines should be taken with a grain of salt.

It gets worse.

I wonder if RJ Petit is going to be a candidate for the Tigers or not, but he's had an excellent year, and needs to be protected from the rule 5.
