That's disrespectful. Call him by his proper name, "Poor man's Daniel Nava."

Anyone know how Marsh, Detmers and C Rod are doing in Long beach? These guys might be our only saviors for next season.

Not exact but pretty much true

Prospect Content!! 

 

[rafibomb]

Pretty excited about this. Kochanowicz was the prospect I was most excited to see (along with Chris Rodriguez) if we had a minor league season.

Worst part of this Rona is the lack of milb info.

Really curious to see when they'll announce what minor league teams survived the purge. They already made short-season ball a non factor by moving the draft back and the consolidation of power was pretty much made complete when MILB President resigned from his position.

Just announce the killings already.

Minor league baseball has been my sanctuary from having a crappy major league team over the last several year.  

Not having it this year is probably the second biggest source of pain from 2020 baseball for me.  The first being that the major league team hasn't played well.  

[Angels in 2030]

agree -- Chris Rodriguez, Jack K. and i'd add Deitmers now are the guys I most care about in the minors.  A theme there yes.

Congrats to William Holmes for making it to Long Beach! 

I made it to Long Beach once. 

Until I drove down Cherry Ave. from the 405 fwy headed west to the beach.

William Holmes interview in case you missed it.

Garrett Stallings is kinda neat too.

[Angels in 2030]

You literally made me google stallings IP.  I totally forgot about that guy.  Good size.  This could have potentially been a big year for him.  Bummer.

Who was the main person behind the purging of MiLB teams?

[Angelsjunky]

I kind of see our pitching prospects in the following categories:

Medium ceiling, high floor: Detmers

High ceiling, low floor: Rodriguez, Kochanowicz

Medium ceiling, medium floor: Stallings

Medium ceiling, low floor: Soriano, Yan, Pina, Holmes, Franco, Aquino

Low ceiling, medium floor: Hernandez, Ortega

 

"High ceiling" means #2 starter or better potential.

"Medium ceiling" means mid-rotation starter or very good reliever.

"Low ceiling" means back-end starter or solid reliever.

Ownership and their pawn -- Manfred

Cheap owners can’t handle a little loss?   So many of them are seemingly flush in cash.   Disgraceful

[Angels in 2030]

If they can get a full (or close enough) minor league season in for 2021 and Kochanowicz/Deitmers/Rodriguez/Stallings can get in 100+ innings......then realistically you could envision all four of these guys contending for a SP rotation spot come 2022.  Each would be 22-24+ years old.  I don't mean they all would be in the rotation in 2022.  But each one could be an option at some point during the season for one or more spots. 

Deitmers certainly is being looked at to be a guy who can be in the starting rotation in early 2022.  Rodriguez just needs to stay healthy and get his innings up in 2021 -- if so, he's going to force his way in.  Koch is the lesser option since he's the youngest and hasn't really pitched professionally much (if any) at all besides instructional ball.  But guys with that kind of stuff can come on quickly.  Stallings seems more like what we have (back-end types) but that's valuable and needed.  Some good things to dream upon in bad times.

Reminds me of Richards.  

[tdawg87]

I'm not sure why I assumed Kochanowicz was a lefty.
