BA PROSPECT HOT SHEET - 6/19

[Jaypers]

[quote="Tom Oates":1wmff0ro]

how long has Gio been a prospect? Sorry guys, but isn't it time for HIS time? just curious.. no hating on him.. he is a helluva a pitcher but there should be a time limit of prospect status.. ya know?

Time limit or age limit? He's not quite 24 yet so I would say he still qualifies as a prospect. At 25 or 26 I would probably agree but at 23 I think he still qualifies IMO.

The limit would be 50 innings pitched in the bigs. He's not quite there yet.

Jaypers, Is that for "Rookie" status for pitchers or a rule of thumb for the definition of "Prospect". Honest question, I'm not trying to argue the point. I value your opinion and just want to understand better. Gio's at 42.2 innings so another quality start at the major league level could put him over the limit.[/quote:1wmff0ro]

Both.

Good stuff, good stuff.

Ozzie, that sure is a nice gold 9.5.

Thanks man. A "Double G unit" popped up on ebay, you have that already, no?

I'm going to list some, I have WAY too many

Yeah I just saw that so I'll show show these off as they are some of my favorite cards. And I think I may have a too many for my own good as well.

And this is for Weeks's stellar week.

#3 Absolutely tearing up A+ ball right now

Weeks is hitting .403 with an OBP just under .500 and an OPS of 1.189 through 18 games in A+ ball. Also hitting .515 with 3 HR and 11 RBI through his last 10 games

Esmil Rogers sneaks in at #13

Even with a subpar performance (last week he had 11Ks and 8 shut out innings) last night, he still made the list...if he pitched lights out he would have been MUCH higher.....nice to see!

:mrgreen:

Dangit, I wish BA would leave my sleeper alone. I am a big fan of Thomas Neal - I think he's going to be a stud. Nice guy too!

 

[AKA Coastal]

Was hoping Travis Chick would get mentioned. Not a big name pitcher ,but....12IP 1ER 10K 2-0 for the week.

Hopefully soon Darnell gets a promotion. He has been on quite a roll lately.
