It’s hard to ignore what Lugo is doing right now

It’s hard to ignore what Lugo is doing right now Blaze has really turned his season around as well. |

Pretty good day around the farm system. Solid starts from Perales, Bastardo and Paez, and good days at the plate from Mayer, Meidroth, Lugo, Hickey, Kavadas, Zanatello, Coffey and probably a few others I'm missing. Less than stellar day from the bullpens, but oh well.

Less than stellar day from the bullpens, but oh well. Good year for the top of the system so far, but also good year for the type of guys you'd trade for 8 weeks of Addison Reed or Eduardo Nunez at the deadline if you're contending. |

I know the results haven’t been there yet but gosh there is some potential in that swing |

No Uwasawa today. Wondering if they’re lining him up to pitch May 1 in Boston? If so, is it right they’d get him an extra bullpen instead of a shortened game yesterday?
Who do they call up on May 2 to replace him til the 7th?

I know the results haven’t been there yet but gosh there is some potential in that swing I was always puzzled about drafting Coffey. Thought he was going to be an underslot signing as a 2nd rounder, but signed for nearly slot money. But that swing, especially from the side perspective and I understand. It's quick and powerful. |

Anthony - 713 OPS 2. Mayer - 851 OPS 3. Teel - 663 OPS 4. Rafaela - 577 OPS 5. Bleis - 652 OPS I know OPS isn't everything, but outside of Mayer those are plenty bad enough that I don't see how you can call it a good year for the top of the system. The top of the farm has mostly struggled out of the gate. Plenty of time to turn things around, but outside of Mayer they do have to turn it around. |

Solid scouting report in the last podcast with the Portland big 3 with the caveat of playing baseball on the early spring in the northeast. Bleis is cutting down his strikeouts and walking more while playing in a tough ballpark. So yea, outside of Rafaela the word good is appropriate. |

I'd probably go with "fine." Nothing is jumping off the page at me in either direction.

I'd probably go with "fine." Nothing is jumping off the page at me in either direction. "Jumping off the page" implies that you are thinking about it in terms of their future projection. And I agree. A few weeks of playing time shouldn't mean much outside of serious health issues popping up. But I think the question was more how best to describe the performances to date of the top of the farm system in which everybody outside of Mayer has an OPS in the 600s. And if these are the four choices: a) good b) fine c) disappointing d) bad then I don't see how the answer isn't somewhere in the c/d range. Imo, the first step towards good commentary is trying to as accurately as possible describe reality. I don't think good or even fine does a very good job here. |

Imo, the first step towards good commentary is trying to as accurately as possible describe reality. I don't think good or even fine does a very good job here. For me, I can say it's been "disappointing" in the sense it's all been pretty nondescript. But it's not just in a development sense, I don't think - it's hard to get worked up when it's not even a full month's sample for most of these guys. Some starters have 3 starts! Being completely honest, I'm reserving judgment until I get eyes on things like exit velo and swing decisions in a few days. I couldn't care less about OPS over 50-70 PAs or whatever guys are at right now. Remember, it's been a short month for everyone but AAA. Roman Anthony was hitting .200/.363/.250 at the close of April last year. And to be clear, I wasn't just responding to you. Just generally to the conversation. |
