Has any of the Prospect staff seen Witte, and do they take him seriously. he seems old and more experienced for that level, but he is raking so far. Anything to it? Likewise, what is the latest on Cecchini. He does not seem to be flashing any power or drive, and is not hitting for much of an average for a "top prospect". ( There is more to hitting than just drawing walks at the minor league level, and he ks often.) Is it a transition issue or a flaw in his arsenal?

The thing he does really well is he kills mistakes. If the opposing pitcher does not finish the pitch, he will kill it. In the two games I saw, he did not put a breaking ball in play. (Just a fact, however I realize the sample size is too small to make any absolute statements) |

Rafael Devers starts his pro career? Was thinking about this ... a lot of folks saw his assignment to the DSL as a negative, hoping for a stateside league (GCL). It could be, but it's also possible that it's a positive, that he had impressed the folks in XST enough that they thought he should get some game action before the GCL season starts. I'll be interested to see what happens to him when the GCL season starts. |

I'll be interested to see what happens to him when the GCL season starts. It's also possible that they believe the DSL is a better learning environment for him at such a young age. Keep in mind that this may not slow his long term development at all. He could still play in Greenville next year. |

What is a little ironic is that when Cechinni was with USA baseball a lot of his success was attributed to his being able to hit breaking balls well in a latin america tournament. Man did Theo pick a winner with this guy: www.baseballamerica.com/statistics/players/cards/5400/I'd rather have this guy than Buxton or Mookie. ( Kris Bryant...17 HR now, .347 BA in AA ball ) One would have to think Bryant is a leading candidate for the next big bopper in baseball and he may stick at 3rd base. |

I've been following him closely also. Love to have a power prospect like that in our system. I can actually see him as a guy who may hit 40 bombs in several seasons. |

Bryant is looking nice as a big HR guy, but so far no better than a guy no better than Pedro Alvarez did, especially on his bb/k% and i don't see many going wonkers over him with his now miniscule OBP and sky high K rate at the big league level.
HR are just not enough, just like with WMB. Bryant will have to get above AAA and to the bigs before we see if he cuts those K's down to below 35% and hits.

Coyle's still here, an error then a single.
Meneses practicing for Boston. Sac bunt but reached on an error. Dogs loaded, no outs.
Mookie 1 out 1-2 force out at home with the bases loaded. LOL, O'Brien waited to tag out the runner, that was a hard hit ball to 3B. When I said O'Brien was slow, I meant physically.
Dogs squandered it. 2-1 Trenton
So far, no SB attempts against O'Brien even with opportunity. Same last time he caught. I'm curious, attempt something Dogs !
Marrero almost equaled the play the other day but throw went a little off. Hit further away so throw was cross body not Jeter-esqe, would have been a highlight reel play. Single.
Coyle another double. Down the left field line. Hmmm ruled an error, tough chance for the third baseman, hard hit.
JF's dream. 2 sac bunt errors in the game.
Mookie hammered a triple to left center off a first pitch fastball. 2 RBI. And scores on a sacfly by Marrero 2R now. Mookie's back.
In retrospect, I wish they had a different angle replay. The park is big but the ball was hit hard enough and played well enough that it's almost always a standup double and this was an easy triple. It was center-left-center not dead left center.

Lou!!!! Youk!!!! now Mook!!!!! Which is why we can't trade for Moustakis. Credit to Trenton SS on the Meneses DP. Not so much that it was a rangy play but the ball went under both the umpire and Coyle running. Lots of noise to filter. Hohum WOW DP by Marrero. He's going to be fun to watch play. Cesar Cabral in for Trenton. Is that considered a traitor ? EDIT: No, WP allowed Mookie to score his third run of the night day LOL, (he walked). Sanchez would have caught that. Nice play by Greenwell, he's been playing good baseball. Bad decision on a bunt by Swihart. Sportcenter or highlight. Hard grounder off the glove of Coyle. Marrero fields it, gets the runner at second. Peter Hissey hit on the helmet. Sitting up but woozy. Walked off, hopefully OK. Mookie with 2 more RBI, pop single down the left field line on a 3-2 pitch. 9-4 final. 2 stars today. |

Mookie has now equaled the number of walks drawn by Pedey in AA as a 21 years old: It took Mookie 52 games to get to 34 BB and it took Pedroia 66 games

Great to see. If he's as much of a hitting prospect as we hope he is, he should zorch the DSL. |

Did Devers even play in a regular DSL game? The team they played was the "Oponentes" or Opponents.

They played the Mets. That link only shows what the Red Sox did, for the Mets stats you'd have to go to the dominicansummerleague.com site and click on their logo. Each team stats are separate.

In Portland, Xander was wearing number 7, then it was Cecchini and this year it's Mookie...I don't know about you guys but i found this quite amusing  Edit: I wasn't sure so I went to verify and Yes! Even JBJ was wearing number 7 during his time there! Is there a story behind this or something? |
