That guy was just signed in January.... He was supposedly passed over in the previous signing season and if his height and weight are real, he either had a growth spurt at 17/18 or he's legit the skinniest player in the system.

This is like the 5th time this season I've asked myself the same question, and we're minor league nerds.

[Blarg]

Go back in this thread a ways and in other threads and a lot of people soured on Jo Adell. He will never be a MLB player, should have traded him a year ago, can't hit MLB pitching... 

I don't see those post over the last couple weeks and here the reason. The last 11 games Adell is hitting .325/.372/.550/.922. 

Every step of his minor league career it was a wait for him to adapt and then his bat took off. But last year Jo and every other minor leaguer was cheated out of a season, his triple A season he really needed to develop major league skills and it showed last year in his brief call up.

What you are seeing now is what he was going to develop into eventually given the time in the field. Will he be hitting that slash line the rest of the year? Doubtful. But he is showing he can play at that level in this league and more than likely he breaks camp next season on the MLB team.

I think it might be a good sign that he is already stateside, having just signed in January.

DSL Angels -- so Dominican Summer League.

What prospect would you guys say has disappointed you the most this season?  Please don't say someone who has been injured for most of the season, I'm talking purely based on production.

They also show him as having walked one guy.  One in 46 innings.  That can't be right.

Jordyn Adams for sure.  He has had some injuries, but he's been brutal at the plate  when he puts the ball in play.  He just doesn't make hard contact unless hes the most unlucky player in all of professional baseball.  And for all the raving about his defense, he's got 8 OF errors in 57 games.  He had 13 in 90 games in 2019 and I sorta figured it was him just getting his sea legs to some degree but damn.

Fantastic post.  

[Angel Oracle]

And the same applies to Jordyn Adams too.

He’s still only what, 21?  Isn’t that at or below average age for A+ ball?

Let’s see how he does in 2022.

apples and oranges.  Adell is 6 months older than Adams.  I agree about taking a wait and see approach but history is not on Adam's side.

Could always end up being an excellent 4th OF.

Trout, Marsh, Adell, Adams

Jordan Adams and Knowles.  I was thinking Knowles would rebound but I may be guilty of expecting too much after the long layoff.  

[Revad]

Next time I say where’s the pitching remind me actual signing guys with better potential than before.

More surprised to see Houston Harding also going there.   

Harding was a UFA this last college season from Mississippi State.  Not sure what his story is other than he was a smallish LHP, but he was one of their best arms on their run to the national championship.

[totdprods]

Well let’s see if Silseth and Harding actually are going there to stay there, or just to cover for a spot as all these promotions play out. There’s still some domino effects happening because of Warren, Detmers, and Marte hitting the COVID-list and a bunch of guys shuffling around.

Like Adell, he was cheated out of a year of development. Even more so not being part of the taxi squad. A whole year of letting the rust develop and skills fade. I have decided this is simply a make up test for school missed. Next season he has fewer excuses but this year he gets an exemption from too much criticism.
