Saw an article that Seelinger is a Long Island kid and he stands a chance to make his MLB debut at age 31 with his childhood team. That’s not a bad personal story for a guy that’s bounced around the affiliated minors and independent leagues. Quote

That's what I was thinking as well and frankly with him starting in A ball and struggling early getting experience at AA would be a great result for this season. Quote

Shinzaki Posted July 10 Posted July 10 RH 1B Beau Ankeny is pushing for a promotion to high A. Coming off a .316/.366/640 June..posting a .419/.471/806 line for July. He's a 23 year-old 2025 draftee...you would think they would move him pretty aggressively given his age Quote

LongLiveMaroth Posted July 14 Posted July 14 OK it is the ASB so this is who I am hoping gets pushed up to the next level here soon with the potential of new draftees coming in as well. FCL-> Lakeland Angel De Los Santos (18) .300/.370/.488 with 19 steals Cristian Perez (19) .259/.373/.612 Ronald Ramirez (19) .354/.430/.532 Lakeland -> WM Beau Ankeny (23) .274/.348/.493 Edian Espinal (21) .299/.412/.423 WM -> Erie Bryce Rainer (21) .289/.398/.495 (Would honestly be okay with him staying in WM to work on K's but would also like to see them push him) Erie -> Toledo Peyton Graham (25) .297/.425/.427 Honestly the pitchers have not been doing great so they can all finish off their level 😅 1 1 Quote

Manuel Boliver (C) - .342/.447/.421 Randy Santana (OF) - .237/.442/.368 Oscar Tineo (SS) - .231/.373/.333 This is a 13-15 game snapshot so far but Boliver seems to be as advertised. Well here is another check-in about a month later. Adding in Tusen because well he's been on fire and he signed for 400K so not a small amount. Manuel Boliver (C) - .338/.443/.513 Randy Santana (OF) - .238/.398/.425 Oscar Tineo (SS) - .268/.370/.354 Eduardo Tusen (SS) - .327/.368/.579 1 Quote

That's always the difficult test. So... C'mon over guys!!! (All 4 of them just for starters. Speaking of which... how are our international pitcher signees, still outside the US, doing?) Thanks also for keeping tabs...! Quote
Shinzaki Posted July 15 Posted July 15 McDaniel on the ESPN app has an updated top ten...Flukey is in at 5 and Sears is now 10. Jacobs and Cris Rodriguez are two that were cited as being just out of the top ten Quote

And I still think people are undervaluing Liranzo. I’d rank him above Oliveto for sure and probably Anderson-but likely have Jacob’s ahead of him. Liranzo is still very young for AA and was right around an .800 OPS with improved defense before getting hurt. He’s considerably ahead of where Dingler was offensively at 2-3 years younger and from the reports I’ve seen is becoming an average-above average catcher. I’d probably have him ahead 1 Quote

Personally, I would have Flukey 3rd, ahead of both Briceno and Liranzo: Rainer-Clark-Flukey. As can be seen: I am also putting Rainer ahead of Clark. That's not a knock on Clark. IMO, I think Rainer has a higher level of bat (both power and BA); Clark a higher level of fielding/ position difficulty than Rainer. And I expect Rainer to end up at 3rd when he gets to Detroit. Really, those two could be 1A and 1B... and I guess it doesn't even matter which is which. Just sayin'... I think I'm on the Rainer Bandwagon just ever so slightly higher than the Clark Bandwagon.

Personally, I agree with everything here. I too would probably put Rainer ahead of Clark, which says a lot about Rainer. His last 2 months have made that move for me, showing the first 2 month and a half was more of an adjustment back from injury. I also would put Flukey ahead of Briceno and Liranzo. Again, not that much against them, but more for what he projects to be, and quickly. Briceno needs to get a few months back from injury, and the same for Liranzo. Quote

He's a .210 hitter in Erie both this year and last year. It's a tough test of his hit tool. Quote

He did have close to an .800 OPS until the last week before he went on the IL and is currently at .772. The power is there. And he just turned 23. Dingler had a .752 OPS at Erie the year he turned 24 in September (and hit .238). 1 Quote
