Rocket City is a little crowded right now...

1. Reid Detmers
2. Cooper Criswell
3. Kyle Tyler
4. Aaron Hernandez
5. Chris Rodriguez

Not to mention Brady, Lee, and Diaz all having started too. Detmers is the only one that really could be bumped up to AAA.

Angels might be moving a lot of pitchers around this org in about a month if the Halos clear out the MLB rotation and pen.

He is waiting for player of the week award. A $50 gift card from subway

[Second Base]

Hot take: Despite being in Advanced A Ball, I believe Davis Daniel could be a moderately successful relief pitcher in the big leagues right now.  

I am glad they're developing him as a starter though.  I think in comparison to other guys that are currently ahead of him on the depth chart, Davis does actually have the potential to be a major league starting pitcher.

After Detmers and CRod, he'd be next on my list of "likely to have a successful major league career" among the minor league pitchers, whether as a starter or very good reliever. I expect that he'll be in Anaheim sometime next year.

True.

If the Angels are sellers and deal, say 2 of Bundy, Cobb, and Heaney plus a couple relievers, then there will be a trickle down effect.

If the Angels called up a few arms from AAA, then a few arms from AA could be promoted to AAA, and a few arms from High-A could be promoted to AA, etc.

Perhaps your looking at rotations of:

MLB: Ohtani, Sandoval, Canning, Suarez, Barria, Bundy/Quintana.

AAA: Buchanan, Criswell, Naughton, Pannone, Tyler, Wantz.

AA: Biegalski, Daniel, Diaz, Detmers, Hernandez, Rodriguez.

High-A: Dashwood, Killam, Linginfelter, Salvador, Smith, Yan.

Low-A: Holmes, Kochanowicz, Pina, Seminaris, Swanda, Rivera

 A lot of noteworthy prospects on this roster

Edit: also lol at the amount of shortstops

Sweet! Very excited about Vera, Ramirez, Blakely, Calabrese, Placencia.

Also will be watching Hidalgo, Tapia, Quero, Deveaux, and others.

Probably good that Bonilla was demoted - he's totally overmatched in A ball.

Where are Holmes and Maitan? And is there no Orem (high Rookie ball) this year?

Excited to see Edgar Quero...would be nice if he's a future long-term answer at catcher.

When Major League Baseball cut ties with 42 Minor League Baseball clubs, one of the first leagues it was known to be moving to an independent partner league was the Pioneer League. With teams in Utah, Colorado, Idaho, and Montana, it was one of the vastest geographical leagues in the low minors. It kept all the teams from its last affiliated season with the exception of the Orem Owlz who are moving to Colorado and taking the season off to return in 2022 and adding the Boise Hawks from the Northwest League.

I will be keeping a close eye Alexander Ramirez, who Fangraphs has as our number 7 prospect. 

7. Alexander Ramirez, RF

Signed: July 2nd Period, 2018 from Dominican Republic (LAA)

Age	18.8	Height	6′ 2″	Weight	215	Bat / Thr	R / R	FV	40+

Tool Grades (Present/Future)

Hit	Raw Power	Game Power	Run	Fielding	Throw
20/40	55/70	25/60	55/50	40/45	60

 

Ramirez’s 95 mph average exit velo was the highest in the entire 2019 DSL, driven largely by his mature physicality. This guy looks like a power five conference wideout at a shredded 6-foot-3 or so. Swing efficacy issues bring about a lot of swing-and-miss but I’ve also seen Ramirez alter his bat path in order to hit pitches near the top of the zone, as well as toward the bottom, so there’s some natural vertical plate coverage here — the swing just needs refinement. There’s a real chance the hit tool just bottoms out and Ramirez, even though he’s likely to grow into elite power, may not hit enough to support a corner outfield profile. But he has 35-homer upside if he can develop even a 40-grade bat. Where the other up-the-middle players have several other “outs” — i.e. outcomes of lesser but relevant utility — Ramirez is either going to make enough contact to be an everyday player or emphatically will not.

Maitan has been injured and is stil listed on Low-A Inland Empire's injured list.

Correct on Orem. The Advanced Rookie level no longer exists across all of baseball.

No clue where Holmes is. Same for Calabrese and some others. It makes me think that they are injured.

Where the fuck is he?! Marsh is, by far, the most disappointing prospect this year for me. I was hoping he'd be in the majors by now and he's only played a few games.

He hit .246 for the Nerds Herd.

Sigh.

[totdprods]

Wantz with 4 scoreless tonight starting for the Bees. Allowed two hits and struck out 5, zero walks. ERA down to 2.10.

He’ll be Rule 5 eligible this winter, so pretty strong chance he makes the pen this year, especially if some arms get dealt.

Alexander Ramirez hit a three-run HR in the Arizona team debut.

Really good to see him stateside already along with Hidalgo, Vera, and Placencia.

Wanna feel old? These guys were born in 2002 and 2003...
