RandyMarsh Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Once we get closer to the draft I may get around to starting a thread about it if nobody else does but for now I figure I'd just post this in here. Kiley McDaniel of ESPN put out his 1st mock and he has us taking Jace Jung out of Texas Tech. Kiley has him listed as a 3B but MLB.com has him listed as a 2b, they also have him ranked 8th overall so getting him at 13 would be a slight steal. Kiley speculates that where we are in our rebuild we probably want somebody closer to the majors especially since he took a HS pitcher in the first round last year and that is a big reason why he has us taking Jung.

RandyMarsh Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Good news in West Michigan is Colt Keith is 3-4 with 2 bombs, bad news is that Dylan Smith got roughed up a bit with 4 runs in 5 innings with just a couple of Ks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what they are waiting for with Keith. Perez on base twice also - hit and walk. Dylan Smith may have had a long sit down before he went out in the 5th and gave up the last two. Not a good reason but it does happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I see Meadows was replaced in Toledo. Could it be that he already is ready to go and he left early to head to NY or did he have a setback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WM not satisfied to let Toledo have all the fun, had now scored 16 runs in their game. Edited June 3, 2022 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 LOL - Keith still wasn't done. Singled in the 9th to make it 4/5, 2B BB 2HR for the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you should draft for BPA, but there are also a slew of good hitting OFers who are being mocked to us, or adjacent to our pick. Given the success we're seeing with Keith, Perez, Pacheco, and potential with our international guys (Santana and Sequeira), along with our long-term commitment to Baez, I wonder if they'll go OF, which all of a sudden seems a bit barren in our organization (both Cabrera and Packard have disappointed).

Shinzaki Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Saw an interesting article in the Freep about Carpenter. Robson was after to tweak his swing all last year. Carpenter didn't want to do it, but tried a couple of adjustments in the offseason and eventually spent a few days with Robson's hitting coach. The change in his swing seemed to result in a big power increase right away and its carried over into the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Not much of note tonight offensively from what I can gather but Ty Madden pitched a gem for WM going 6 innings of 3 hit baseball with 7Ks and no walks. Only run was on a solo shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
