I think Lavarnwayguy called Mookie to suggest he steal more

Mookie is doing great this year against LHP .632/.696/1.000 and against RHP .359/.366/.564, but in only 19 and 39 AB respectively. in 2013 he was LHP .236/.354/.382 RHP .338/.436/.545
The Binghamton Pitcher is a righty, with even splits, but only 2 games in AA (0ER) I will go with 3 to be on the positive side

11 of the top 15 MLB 2014 prospects are position player with overall 65 or higher. Only the top 3 are 70 or higher. Funny thing is that overall is not the average of the 5 elements. In Xander's case, his average is 60, but his overall is 70. I would think that if Mookie were to finish this season BA over 350, it would be hard to give him less than an 80 on hit. Even his HR is not high, given the rate of XBH, his Power should also be good? Add good defense to this, Mookie would then be among the MLB top 5. Of course, it is a longer season, Lets see: Mookie for Stanton + Fernandez sounds fair to me.

I love how Owens can pitch out a jam. Feed the Mookie Monster!

I did not see Mookie in either 2012 or 2013 (Owens had already been promoted to AA). Mookie's 2012 stats look perfectly respectable to me, both BA and OBP. My theory is that the little guys don't have strength to hit out of the infield until a later age than the linebacker size guys. So a talented little guy might have lots of ground outs, then bang, all of a sudden those outs are now singles. I am still high on Owens, with luck and patience, developing into a 3 starter. At some point, we need to consider whether Mookie should rate as grade 7, in which case he will be the #1 prospect after Xander graduates. I am with the chant!

for me to give up Mookie, I would want Stanton + 1 (MLB) top 30 prospect edit: I might want more than that

Salem has 8 pitchers on our prospect list, highest is Johnson at 20, 3 more between 21-40 and 4 in 41-60 group. Of the position players, there is only David Chester at 52. Salem currently has 4 player BA over .300, of which 2 have many years in the minors. Still, perhaps will make Gragnani or Heller an honorary prospect so Salem has some representation on the prospects list?

Anyone know why McCarthy pitched in the 7th of the Portland game? He would be in line for the next start Mon at Binghamton. I need to travel from MA back to DC on Mon or Tue, so I need to know which game Owens will pitch, any help would be appreciated thanks

6 regulars over .300 plus Rivero at .294 and Shaw has a very respectable .354 OBP. Shaw could a AAA regular providing emergency depth. Even if he cant hit at MLB level, at least he could be a difficult out.

Salem 10th starts SO, err, walk, err, 8 runs so far. What is the record for most unearned runs in inning? with no earned runs?

On further thought, without considering graduations, he could be ranked anywhere from 2-6. I could see Mookie getting a grade of 7 at the end of the season with a .350 BA, which would mean that he would be the top ranked prospect (eligible). For now I think he has done enough for grade 6, but its not worth quibbling on his ranked among the other grade 6 prospects. -never mind, I see he is #6, grade 6. I am also thinking that Marrero could work himself up to grade 5.

I can't wait to see where Mookie moves up to. I can see any place from 4-6.

I was not able to make the game. Owens pattern is that he is nearly unhittable for 80-90 pitches, then becomes very hittable. He was at 86 pitches thru 6. So he may or may not have come out for 7, or may not have finished 7. Interesting is the 2 BB, Collier is L, Dugan is switch - any know if he faced Owens as L or R? - never mind, line is 5 outs against lefties, 2 BB. While the 6IP 0H is impressive, I am more interested in how effective he is against lefties. Righties won't get squat from O.

on the positive for Teddy, he allowed only 1 run in the first 4IP, then got tagged for 4R/3ER without an out in the 5th. That's plenty to build on. Owens was like that when he was in Greenville, 9-12 quick outs, then out of gas.

As much as I am a fan of Owens, I am not big on quibbling over rankings within a grade, but I would like to see half integer grades as MLB does 20-80 in steps of 5. The conservatism in Mookie's grade stems from last year being his breakout season. in the next month or so, Mookie should have sufficient credentials to be a grade 6 if not 6.5 prospect. My opinion is that Coyle should stop slugging, just do good at bats and stay healthy all season, instead of showing power.

does any have the WAR formula handy, what does .875 equate to? assume average defender. I could see Mookie in the top 4 soon, and top 2 when 1 & 2 graduate.

I would have thought that there should be something like Lackey's contract, that if injured a substantial part of the 2015 season, then the club has an option for 2016 at reduced rate.

Concerning the opportunity to see Owens pitch, Readings and Trenton are closer to DC than Portland, plus my MA inspection sticker is expired, so I would have to drive in at night and get it inspected before getting pulled over. Portland does not play at Bowie until Aug, that was Owens AA debut last year, so I am considering the possibility that Owens may not be with Portland come Aug. I don't see the point of comparing Owens to the top pitching prospects, several of whom could be top of the rotation starters. If Owens develops into a solid 3 starter, or even 4, he would be immensely valuable to a team that does not get many opportunities to pick 1-5 in the draft.

I am certainly hoping Owens is in AA at the start of the season. Portland first 2 series are near DC. I am planning bringing my camera to take a video. I may borrow my dentists Canon 5D, of course if it gets damaged, there will be pay back.

FG has Bogaerts at grade 70, the 2-9 guys at 60, and Vazquez at 55. Without a 5 point difference in the grade, I would not quibble over the ranking of prospects in the same grade.

I would have thought that Pujol's record of consistency should have made him about low as risk as possible for a free agent entering the 2012 season. Factoring in age, $30M seemed reasonable for 2012-17, but not to 2021. If Trout is not signed to an extension, wow! he could be worth $40M, with the only issue being duration.
