The Official Los Angeles Angels Minor League Stats, Reports & Scouting Thread

[Blarg]

Short night for O'Hoppe. Replaced as catcher in the bottom of the 5th. His line tonight was 1-2 with a double, walk and run scored. 

Previous to the walk the 66ers did a very Angels base running gaff.

 Wild pitch moved the runner to third and then he gets picked off on the same play.

Vera, Ramirez, Placencia, and this year Blakely, continue to disappoint. They're all 20, with Blakely being 21. I assume they repeat at A+ ball? They're too young to be considered busts, but it is quite disappointing how they haven't really developed - at least according to the numbers.

Anyone heard anything positive about these guys this year? Placencia continues to have a nice walk rate, but that's just about it.

D'Shawn Knowles also seems to have stalled out and may soon join his buddy Trent Deveaux as a DFA, though I suspect they'll keep him around another year just to make sure.

Literally none of those Eppler international signings have worked out. Too soon to tell on Minasian's first couple tries (Guzman, Rada, etc, as well as Quero).

I'm intrigued by Kelvin Caceres, I really don't know anything about baseball prospects or how to analyze them, but I've heard good things, he seems to be the most promising of Eppler's international signings right now.  He's had some bad implosions but mostly seems to consistently have solid outings for RC

K’s are massive, but so are the BBs.

As for the prospects we traded:

Coleman Crow (Mets #29)

Landon Marceaux (Mets unranked)

Jeremiah Jackson (Mets #22)

Edgar Quero (White Sox #3)

Ky Bush (White Sox #9)

Mason Albright (Rockies #22)

Jake Madden (Rockies #23)

Connor van Scoyoc (Rockies unranked)

This is why I don't really agree with the narrative that we somehow depleted the farm, the only trade that really made any type of dent was the Giolito/Lopez one and if we keep both players I don't think we'll mind it.  The other guys aren't even top 20 guys.

Coleman Crow seems under rated. This dude's peripherals are great. Not sure the scouting report on him tho.

He had TJS yesterday, may have something to do with it

20 is young for High A ball. Old is 23 for High A. Give them another year or two to figure it out.

Nice to see him getting some air on this and his double earlier in the game.  Seems like a lot of his hits so far have been grounders and soft liners.  His plate discipline has been fantastic so far, though, so I'm glad to see that carry over from college.

Lol at some folks on here thinking Murphy could contribute to the major league team this year.

[Make Angels Great Again]

Edgar Quero had a 2 homer day today for the white Sox AA affiliate.

.340/.379/.500 for them. Still 20 years old

this one is going to bring me pain

[Tank]

kind of weird that murphy chose today to retire instead of letting the season finish. 

is there a story behind this?

[mmc]

[jsnpritchett]

Just realize that Cam Minacci has somehow managed to give up 17 hits in 7 1/3 innings with Inland Empire since he got drafted.  Yikes.
