Minor League Performances Official Daily Thread - 4/9

[cstmleather]

Ben Gamel 5 doubles in as many games, batting .429, hope he hits more than 2 homeruns this year.

Is this really Jed Bradley? Apparantly. 5 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 6 K

I have all the faith in him at the beginning over the year; I just want to see if he can muscle thru an entire season.

 

[Jaypers]

He may not possess much velocity, but a three level bump from the Pioneer League to AA Arkansas didn't faze him at all.

Michael Roth - 5 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K

 

[NeedChapmans]

How hard does Cingrani throw?

Last year Tony topped out at 93 ... but already this year he's hit 95 in his first two starts. Not sure where the added velocity has come from but he's a 2 pitch lefty who sprinkles in a change-up. No curve-ball thank God.

Cito Culver - 2 HR

Looks like ditching switch-hitting is working out. Maybe it's time to list the /5 Gold EEE I have, both him and Ben Gamel. Damns.

 

[VandyDan]

Crazylegs Selman picked up the W going 5.0, 1H, 2BB, 4K in his Hi A debut.

Caleb Cotham with his AA debut, a bit old for a prospect but a NYYer: 5IP, 5h, 1er, 2bb 5K

I must say, this is my favorite thread ever! This single-handily is the reason I spend more time on here than Blowout!

After today Lindor is batting .444. Great start for the young man!

Thanks for the info. What does he throw-- FB and slider? cutter?

Just hit a solid Culver auto: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-...s/3JBT_jwATj4/s800/culver.chr.au.10bdp.ns.jpg

First box of 2011 Bowman I hit a very nice Gamel orange auto, but sold it already. But I still have a nice ref au /500; is he worth grading?

GRAND SLAM for Mike Zunino! :mrgreen:

Dude's amazing.

 

[Jedi500]

I'm really feeling Brandon Laird this year, 2-4 2B

 

[peterose4hof]

So glad to see these young Reds arms pitching well, especially Stephenson & Cingrani. Mike Leake needs to go and Arroyo will likely be gone after this year.

Gamel can hit but the power was always the question. Not a sexy prospect as a light power OF, but there's some belief that his power developing. As a low buy-in Yankee, he's worth something as any hype will spike his prices.

Culver will move quickly if this breakout is for real. The glove is there and now hopefully so is the confidence.

 

[Seiya]

Austin Hedges 2-4 2 2B's, BB
Travis Jankowski 3-4 RBI
Cory Spangenberg 2-5 RBI, and another SB, 9 on the year

Oh and Donn Roach, who is in line to be called up after Erlin went 5 IP. 2 R, 1 ER, 1 H, 2 BB, 3 K's with 13 GROUNDOUTS.
