The Official 2019 Minor League Statline and Prospect Discussion Thread

[Angelsjunky]

.162/.294/.222 in 119 PA. That is really, really bad. He shouldn't be in A ball. He hit .314/.375/.486 in Orem last year, but only in 9 games. So it isn't like he had mastered that level. Orem begins on June 14...maybe time to send Adams back to extended spring and then have him go to Orem?

The Angels hitting prospects are so universally disappointing -- except for a few guys in Salt Lake -- that it makes me wonder if there is something going on, an organizational shift or approach that involves some kind of "let's do something that will take everyone a step back before leaping two steps forward." Or that's what I hope.

Ahh, thanks. So you basically statistically verified what my wishful hunch was. Hopefully we'll start seeing a change in the numbers soon...if we get to 200+ PA I'm going to start really worrying.

I really think they have guys doing some stuff in terms of pitch selection.  There isn't enough data available to really determine what that is.  

If I had to make a wild stab it would be that they're forcing some guys to look breaking ball or something like that.

Soriano, Bradish, Madero, Barria on the mound for the affiliates tonight.  

[Stradling]

Barria was sent down?  When?

To make room for Canning.

I think that also had something to do with having two off days in 4 games.  So it'll be Cahill, Harvey, Canning vs. bmore, skaggs and pena vs. Min for the first two games and it wouldn't surprise me if they made a couple of roster moves for the final game at Min where we see Barria followed by an off day.  That would have given him 5 days rest in between starts and will give the entire rotation an additional two days of rest before the home stand.

Super weird that I missed that.

I think it happened right after a game before an off day...or on an off day. And Canning wasn’t activated until the next day for his start. 

[Second Base]

Jose Soriano has a no-no through 6, Maitan has 2 more hits and Nonie Williams went deep again. Good day in Burlington.

Hey man, you're in and out all the time, it's easy to miss shit. Don't beat yourself up over it.

Talk about bat speed.

[Angelsjunky]

Jo Adell just has the feel of a superstar.

[Vlad27Trout27]

Soriano with 6 no hit inning today, plus 9k! really solid start.

nice game for the Burlington Bees.  

only hit for the opposition was in the 9th.  

Soriano 6ip, 0h, 3bb, 9k.  

Maitan HR, Nonie Williams HR.  

[Stradling]

I’ve said this but it needs repeating.  If Maitan lived up to his hype we’d have a top three farm. And a pretty nice, very young core.  Hell at this point I’ll take the good part of Kung Fu Panda from Maitan.

Maitan and Nonie are hitting well lately. 

Our pitching depth at the lower levels, IE and Burlington, have started strong and have not let up.

great news that he's seeing live pitching.  My guess is that he's at AA in a week or two.

Not counting tonight, he’s hitting .271/.338/.339/.677 in his last 65 PA. Not a lot of power but the contact and discipline numbers are improving and he’s still very young for the league. Younger than Adams even. If he can get the hitting back on track overall, the power will come along.

Hopefully we get his buddy Marsh back at the same time.
