Eventually, I think this will turn into an every few days sort of thing, but I am running through the games and here are some quick thoughts.
Norfolk:
-Looks like Alfredo Simon was pretty sharp, but may have had some control issues. It would not surprising to see him log a couple starts in the Majors this year. He spent 72 pitches over 3 innings, notching 3 ks, 1 walk, and 3 hits.
-Kam Mickolio needed 38 pitches to go 1.1 innings. That is awful and it appears he continues to have issues with his control. Disappointing.
-Bell and Snyder both went 3 for 4 with a double a piece.
-Montanez continues to hit AAA pitching going 2 for 5.
Bowie:
-Caleb Joesph is looking strong early on. He popped into the discussion in a few top ten prospect lists for the Orioles this past year. He hit two doubles and a single in four plate appearances.
-Chorye Spoone put in a pedestrian performance. This is basically his make or break year. Walking two and striking out two over four innings won't cut it.
-Wilfredo Perez continues to dominate by getting save and striking out three in one inning of work.
Delmarva:
-From the reports I heard, Hobgood was very uneven. Inconsistent release point, but his pitches did look good . . . just without the command want. He went 4 innings walking 5 and striking out 4. Not ideal to say the least. He did induce 4 groundballs to only 1 fly. I also heard that he was very agile in the field.
- Dalles hit a home run. He might be the only Delmarva hitter of note this year.
I really don't like those walks from Mickolio. How long do you think it takes for Lebron to become our top relief prospect?
ReplyDeleteI also think Garabez Rosa and Michael Ohlman are hitter of note at Delmarva.
Lebron is probably coming up early next season. He is more than just a fastball these days.
ReplyDeleteRosa . . . not really high on him. I think his defense is average and his contact rate is too poor.
Ohlman . . . yeah, quite interested. Him making the majors will depend solely on his bat.
