If anyone out there is wondering if I'm reaching for a My Sharona reference..... Yes, I most certainly am.

Will be keeping an eye on how many pitches Shawaryn throws. If it's starter length, gotta think he's the next spot starter.

Truly a 2 hit wonder, band.

Dalbec homers for the second game in a row. #5 in Pawtucket.

Duran will likely get another AB. So far, 4 PA 4 strikeouts.

Dalbec homers for the second game in a row. #5 in Pawtucket. I don’t see dalbec as a consistent year to year guy in the majors but there is no doubt he will have 1 monster year in the majors where he smashes 40-50 home runs Such a beast |

It should be noted Dalbec hit that home run off stud pitcher Nate Pearson whom I believe is rated overall number 14 prospect by MLB

Yep, Pearson was a 2017 1st rounder. Making his second Triple-A start, he'd be tempting for a September callup on a contender.
Andrew Politi with the equivalent of a no-hitter, stretched over two starts: five no-hit innings today after throwing four no-hit innings in his last one. He'd been used mostly as a reliever this year but made four starts in the second half (two in July and his last two outings).

That homer by Dalbec was a bomb to left center

Dalbec homers for the second game in a row. #5 in Pawtucket. With just a 21% k rate. His walks are way down too (this looks a lot like his promotion to AA in that way, but in that case his k rate shot up). I wonder if he’s modifying his approach just a bit to be more aggressive and not whiff as much...selling out a little power for contact and generally swinging more/earlier. I thought his uber-FB-heavy approach was a little too TTO for my tastes...I’d like to see selective aggression and a focus on hard *contact*, as sort of a learning approach before MLB. If he can keep the whiffs under 25-27% in the majors, I think he stumbles into 25-30 HR (or more) and probably a 10-12% bb rate at least (could take a few years). He’s also *terrific* insurance for Devers at 3b, and great for spelling him on off days. If Dalbec can be the regular 1b by June next year, that’s a real nice bit of roster relief; no need for a CIF-type utility guy beyond the multipositional guys they have in Hernandez and Lin. |

That homer by Dalbec was a bomb to left center I just love this guys power. It’s rare to have a guy like that. I’m thinking 70 grade at least |

He’s got such ridiculous pop he doesn’t need to take massive hacks, it’s very encouraging to see his K rate drop as he moves up |

That would be 58th out of 146 in the majors if it were at the majors. I'd pump the brakes a little. Yordan Alvarez had a .399 ISO in AAA this year before he was called up. |

Dalbec has 70 raw, but in-game it's likely to play more as 55 or 60 depending on how much contact he makes. Of course, grading someone's in-game power is a relative thing at this point anyway. In 2014, when Kiley McDaniel wrote the scouting primer to which I often refer back ( blogs.fangraphs.com/scouting-explained-the-20-80-scouting-scale/ ), just 11 guys hit 30 home runs. Last year, 26 did, and this year there are already 22 of them, and 49 players have 25 HR or more with a month to play. So although 60 power translated to 23-27 HR in that primer, 60 power probably requires regular 30-35 HR output at this point. |
