SoCalTiger Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I might be wrong but it seems we do not have even one solid pitching prospect in the minors. The strikeout totals are poor. So maybe Skenes will be the pick ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't give up all on Flores yet - but it's sure nothing like it was a couple of years ago when Manning, Mize, Skubal and Faedo were all on their way up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Even though the numbers haven't been good this year I still have some hope for Flores particularly since it has come out that they are having him work on things which could equate to the lesser numbers this year but yeah overall there isn't much to get excited about. Still though I'm of the belief its easier to patch together a passable pitching staff than it is a lineup so all things being equal Id rather go offense.

I would say Madden as well, that being said Flores and Olson are probably headed toward the high leverage late inning relief pitcher path.

Shinzaki Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 The Nats love those college rms...allegedly ...so we may not have a shot at Skenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cowan Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 That Fangraphs article from a couple of days ago had Peyton Graham as the Tigers' #10 prospect. He's 22 years old at Lakeland and is playing poorly so at some point the actual results that he achieves will have to affect his ranking.

The Nats top 3 prospects are OFs; and 6 of their top 10; i know you are not supposed to draft for need, and you can always trade talent, but they are taking Skenes for sure.

He's gotten some of it back but is still a couple of mph short of his 'normal.' I don't think that is that unusual for a young pitcher. Hopefully his finds his mechanics and gets back on the track he was on previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongLiveMaroth Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I am heading over to the WM game tonight since it is close to where I live and I wanted to see who was starting for WM and honestly for only being 24 Carlos Pena looks like he has not slept once in those 24 years.

casimir Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Keith has basically a full MLB season in his minor league career. Not exactly a scientific projection, but it is encouraging. Also of note is that he's been younger than his competition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
