Ok, it's not thaaaat exciting. Slow minors day, though.

FCL Sox won the continued game on a walk-off walk, & apparently they have some draftees in attendance today.

Nataneal “Did You Say” Yuten went 2-4 with a 2b and a SB. Through 85 AB he’s hitting .353/.439/.506. The $400k bonus baby is listed at a Gumbyesque 6’2” 143 so he’s got some filling in to do.

In the DSL, Yoeilin is 2-2 with a bb and Starlyn is 1-3 with HR #3.

You beat me to the FCL update (& I stopped following the DSL during the lightning delays).

But yeah, Yuten is an interesting dude.

They won 6-5.

Ryan Fitzgerald did as one would hope a 29 y/o would on rehab in the FCL & went 3-4 with a steal.

JOHANFRAN was 0-1 with 2 walks. He's definitely slowed down a lot since he got a ton of helium earlier in the season (.309/.945).

YONFI pitched a scoreless inning for the win (1 walk, 2 strikeouts).

This was my Top 154 Prospect List from a few days ago. Going to put it in a spoiler because who cares? Will add the new draft picks in at some point, & it definitely still needs revisions.

My BB/K binkies...

Stephen Scott is on a tear since being promoted to AAA. Most interesting to me is that in those 72 PA he's been a guy who walks more than he strikes out. Now, two bad games where he K's a bunch would change that, but the guy does have an interesting bat. The BB% has been stable across levels, he hasn't since low A struck out more than 22% of the time, and the slugging is really pretty nice for a catcher.

On the other hand, a 10-1 SB-CS and 6 passed balls in 94 AAA innings is, uh, bad.


Ronaldo Hernandez, who became a bit of a non-prospect after a rough-go in AAA (.261/.297/.451) last year, has a bad-looking slash lines again this year. But look under the hood and there's some tantalizing stuff. For one his BB% has jumped 10% (!!!) this year to 14%, while he's cut his K rate by ten percent. That's, uh, really good, and definitely a sign that he's made some serious adjustments.

So why is the slash line so bad? I wonder if a breakout is being disguised by an abnormally low BABIP of .229. Even last year when he was struggling he posted a BABIP of .295, and he has always been around 290 or higher in his career. He's got pop - more than Scott - and in 206 innings at catcher this year he's allowed 24 SB but caught 7, with only 4 passed balls. So much better on those fronts than Scott. A

Another right-handed bat that might be able to play next to Wong and DH if the breakout is being disguised by the low BABIP.


Meidroth is not doing so hot in AA. Still walking a bunch, still not striking out that much, but he's only had six doubles and four home-runs in those 186 PA. I was talking about him leap-frogging Yorke and Valdez and that is looking, uh, premature. Still a lot to like in his batting profile, and 21 is still young for AA.



Wilyer Abreu is still hitting under .250, sadly, and still striking out a quarter of the time, and just not producing enough power to justify the weak contact rates (12 home runs in 250 PA is not great and not bad), and is still left-handed.

 

[JM3]

There's a few guys in the lower minors I came across with good ratios who I'll try to post later to add to your binky collection.

View: https://twitter.com/SoxProspects/status/1681326878882136065


No Perales again. But still 7 interesting guys.

 

[JM3]

Based on my rankings...

#19 Hunter Dobbins (AA) - In 7 Greenville starts & 3 Portland starts he has a 2.68 ERA in 57 innings, 49 hits, 11 walks & 63 strikeouts. (SoxProspects #36)

#25 Dalton Rogers (A+) - Rogers has not been good in his 8 starts since being promoted to Greenville (5.82 ERA after 2.49 in 6 starts for Salem). A large part of it appears that his lack of control has caught up to him. In 34 high-A innings he has allowed only 26 hits & has struck out 46 but has walked 23. He has also thrown 13 wild pitches in 55.2 innings across both levels this season. Might have to bump him down the rankings if he keeps being this erratic. (SoxProspects #30)

#27 Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz (A) - ERC should probably be ahead of Rogers being 4 years younger & all. ERC has a 2.53 ERA for Salem in 12 starts, 53.1 innings. ERC has had pretty significant control issues, too with 26 walks. He has only allowed 41 hits, though, so despite the lack of control & average strikeout rate (8.1 k/9), he has been pretty effective. (SoxProspects #19)

#43 Brian Van Belle (AAA) - In his first start for Worcester, BVB pitched 5 innings, allowing 3 hits, 1 walk & a 3 runs, all on a 3-run homer. If he can put together some solid starts, he should definitely be an option for bulk work if more pitchers get injured & not less. He would need to be on the 40-man next year anyway & he's already almost 27. Had a 3.00 ERA in 81 innings for Portland, despite only 7.7 k/9. Not an elite arm, but seems like a competitor.

#115 Obed Balderas (DSL Blue) - Tomorrow is Obed's 17th birthday. So far he has a 3.06 ERA in 17.2 innings, but a 1.472 WHIP & 7.1 k/9 makes this seem a bit unsustainable. So hopefully he'll just pitch even better. He was doing great prior to his last outing (3 runs in 3.1 IP).

#129 Wandy Abreu (FCL) - Wandy had an elite DSL season last year...8-0 with a 1.22 ERA, 0.973 WHIP & 10.9 k/9. He was an older DSL player last year at 20, though, & has struggled so far this season for the FCL Red Sox with a 6.27 ERA in 18.2 innings (1.607 WHIP & 9.6 k/9).

N/A Luis Jerez (DSL Red) - Jerez should probably be on my list, but he's an older DSL player (turns 20 next month). He's pitched pretty well this season - 3.15 ERA in 20 IP, 14 hits, 6 walks & 16 strikeouts. Jerez is from Havana, Cuba & signed for $18k in December '22.

 

[JM3]

Jerez forcing his way into the next rankings! 4 scoreless innings, 3 hits, 0 walks, 4 strikeouts. DSL Red losing 1-0 in the 7th, though.

OBED soaring up the rankings, too...4 scoreless innings, 3 hits, 0 walks, 3 strikeouts. DSL Blue losing 2-0 in the 5th, though.

 

[JM3]

FCL Red Sox got rained out.

DSL Red lost 4-0 & got 2-hit (1 each for Andruw Musett, #53 & Gerardo Rodriguez, #91).

 

[JM3]

DSL Blue took at 7-3 lead into the 9th, but choked it away, allowing 5 in the top of the 9th & losing 8-7 (Ali Ascanio & Emmanuel Polo are NOT going on the list).

YOEY (#12) did throw a guy out trying to stretch a double into a triple to end the inning, though.

Cesar Ruiz pitched 2.1 innings & struck out 4, allowing only 1 base runner (unfortunately it was a homer), & raised her ERA to 1.33. Ruiz is already 20. He signed for $200k in July 2019 out of Puerto Cabello, VZ. He can go on the list, but not high.

YOEY only went 1-5 with an RBI (.331/.894).

STARLYN (#59) went 3-5 (.342/.857). Maybe if he was a better base runner he could be higher on the list...got caught stealing for the 5th time this game & has 6 steals this season.

 

[JM3]

Here's a quick set of walk/strikeout guys for Fishy...

#2 ROMAN 56/58 (A, A+)
#37 Allan Castro 52/58 (A, A+)
#48 Alexis Hernandez 22/11 (FCL, A)
#53 Andruw Musett 19/13 (DSL)
#69 Yoiber Ruiz 27/23 (DSL)

This Tweet on Alex Hoppe seems like a bit of a non sequitur... but he might be a guy who has been better than his results.

View: https://twitter.com/brendan_camp/status/1681406940004401161

He's 24 & has a 4.15 ERA at Greenville. Red Sox 6th round pick last year.

Throws up to around 99.

Scroggins was a 9th round pick in '19. He turns 27 next month & hasn't been particularly healthy.

Portland's lineup...

They definitely are getting Reyes a lot of ABs which makes it feel unlikely they're doing this to DFA him?

I was promised Dobbins today, but CJ Liu will have to do.

I guess BCamp is doing work for SoxProspects now which probably explains it, & seems like good news.

Liendo on IL.

Wilyer Abreu just hit a homer.

 

[koufax32]

Liu has a pretty nice curve. It’s not Monegro level but definitely above AA level. Didn’t know he threw gas too. Announcer has been saying it’s been consistently 96-98.

He was one of their guys with a bigger jump in velocity from last season.

Don't think ALLAN is going to stick as a caps thing. Also, that's not a double.

It's too bad Ferguson isn't better at hitting as he's very fast. But it worked out here.

Blaze double

[JM3]

BVB didn't pitch well... but he was pretty impressive... allowing exactly 1 run in each of his 1st 4 innings before a shutout 5th.

In his 5 innings he allowed 4 runs, 8 hits, 1 walk, 2 homers, & had 4 strikeouts.

 

[JM3]

Liu was taken out in the 6th after a 2-run homer, but struck out lots of people (career high 11).

[JM3]

Speaking of guys who struck out lots of people & allowed 3 runs...

Dalton Rogers pitched 4.2 innings & allowed 3 runs, 2 earned on 4 hits & 1 walk, but recorded 10 strikeouts.

 

[JM3]

Speaking of guys who allowed an unearned run & pitched less than 5 innings...

Gabriel Jackson, who has been pitching in relief, started & pitched 4 innings today for Salem, allowing 1 unearned run on 3 hits & 2 walks, striking out 3 & lowering his ERA to 2.77.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

All the strikeouts these guys have been dishing out regardless of pedigree and regardless of overall results tells me that at the very least we have a very strong potential pipeline of cheap quality relief pitching.
