just watched it.  mixed bag.   not terrible for not pitching in awhile and probably being a bit nervous.  

One of the balls hit was actually hit decently hard.  A seeing eye grounder.  A broken bat blooper.  Then a soft liner just out of the reach of SS.  I think he broke 3 bats in total.  Fastball command wasn't very good.  Had no feel for the slider.  Pretty much every one he threw looked like that one he got the K on.  Backed up and he couldn't get on top of it.  

Fun to watch.

Just in case people thought about attending Angels AA games because there's some talent in the roster. Fans were getting too comfortable seeing a quality product. Gotta set expectations low. Shoot a couple fireworks into the crowd, and keep fans in their place.

only the angels or an affiliate for the Angels could have something go this wrong.

You been paying attention to Adams at all?  Soft stuff inside has been kryptonite to him.  If they pitch backwards he beats himself.

rarely.  Sounds like AA pitchers figured him out pretty quick.

8 walks in 7 games for Sonny D (the pick of the draft; remind me: 5 years) 

[ScottM]

Jeremiah Jackson 2 for his last 39. OUCH

[Angelsjunky]

Jackson's turning out to be yet another disappointing prospect who isn't making the adjustments he needs to.

Bad coaching or bad drafting?

Doesn't have to be either. Some guys just can't adjust once the league or level they're at figures them out.

Coaching can help with that but the guy with the bat in his hands has to make the adjustments himself.

He's still only 22. He'll get time to figure it out. But Neto might end up passing him on the depth charts.

Plus he skipped A+ ball.

I agree in theory but how many examples of this have we seen in the last 10 years.

Guys with high expectations flaming out.

Probably fewer than other teams because we haven't exactly had a ton of guys with "high" expectations. 

But I get what you're saying. I just wouldn't consider Jackson as a prospect of that caliber. I think many hoped he could come up and be the every day SS, and there's still a chance that happens.

[TroutField]

I think we all knew it would be a work in progress with Jackson. It was only a matter of time until his poor contact and high strikeout ratios caught up with him. 
 

he’s young and can adjust and get better. It all starts with making contact, 32% strikeout rate in his professional career. Yikes

jump to conclusions matt.  Walk rate over 10%.  BABIP of .233.  K rate lower than it's been in his entire career.  

I'll wait this one out.  

compare that to Adams.

A large majority of Eppler’s high risk, high upside HS prospects have flopped to this point.

Williams, Duensing, Adams, Jackson, Holmes, Paris, Kochanowicz, Rivera, Calabrese, Knowles, Deveaux, Ramirez, and Vera are all not looking good.

Only ones that have really “worked out” (or at least made it to the majors) are Adell, Marsh, and Rodriguez— and they’ve all had their issues.

I'm definitely not putting him in the same category as Adams. Just a bit disappointed in his performance this year. Yet another Angels prospect who hasn't show improvement this year.

At least a few guys have show promise: Quero, Blakely, and maybe Placencia. I think those were all Eppler guys.
