    Re: The Official Pimp Yo Prospect Thread

    Anxiously waiting for Danny Hultzen's arrival in Seattle, he has nothing left to prove in the minors.

    I know we should take any High Desert numbers with a grain of salt, but Julio Morban is finally healthy and mashing the ball like he was supposed to two years ago. The kid is only 20 and this is what intrigues me:

    .424/.485/.763/1.248

    Those are his away splits...

        What's your opinion on Fernandez and his lack of a weapon against left handed hitters? His L/R splits are starting to remind me of Michael Pineda, which is both good and bad.

          Idk I feel he's doing fine against lefties, he still puts them away well as noticed by his Ks to IP and then comparing that to his R splits.

          Has a great fastball, sounds like a plus curveball, average change and is developing a slider. He will need to work on those off speed pitches but from the sounds of it he's dominating.

            Here's a reliever I hope to see in the big leagues one of these days:

            Kevin Quackenbush (Advanced-A, Lake Elsinore), 2011 Draft (8th round pick), 23 years old.

            0.98 ERA, 27.2 IP, 30 K's
            Career line: 0.78 ERA, 69.2 IP, 101 K's

              He sounds like one of those generic players in The Show.

                This is from Dave Cameron's chat on Fangraphs today

                12:42
                Comment From Todd
                With Harper, Trout, and Moore all in the bigs,
                who in your opinion is the best prospect in baseball?

                12:42
                Dave Cameron:
                Jurickson Profar.
                As a 19 year old in AA Frisco, Profar is putting up a .296/.375/.482 slash line and is a plus plus defender at shortstop. He'll probably be the next second baseman for the Rangers if they decide to move Ian Kinsler to LF in 2013 or 2014.

                  Keyvius Sampson had a no-hitter going through the sixth yesterday... but fell apart in the seventh and ended up giving up four runs and the loss.

                  He had gotten off to a very good start in San Antonio but has had trouble in the Texas League. His Home/Road splits are significant. Perhaps this is to be expected since they had him bypass Advanced-A after he spent all of last season in Class-A Fort Wayne.

                  Yasmani Grandal is enjoying a terrific season on the moon (.927 OPS, 13 2B, 5 HR). It's only a matter of time before he becomes the everyday starting catcher in San Diego.

                  Meanwhile, Robbie Erlin, Casey Kelly, and Joe Ross are MIA. Does this team even have a training/rehab staff?

                  Rymer Liriano may be developing a reputation of being a notorious starter rather than being over-matched at a higher level. In 2010 he started the year in Fort Wayne, but found himself back in Eugene after struggling mightily. Last year he started the year in Lake Elsinore, then was sent back down to Fort Wayne where he increased his prospect status dramatically. This year he started the year again in Lake Elsinore and stunk it up in April (.272, .321, .593, that's OBP, SLG, and OPS... along with only 5 walks to 28 strikeouts), but has turned it on since May. He finally has his batting average above .300 and while his power still isn't translating to home runs, he is at least hitting a ton of doubles (18). Liriano also has 20 stolen bases.

                  Cory Spangenberg is also right there with Liriano. He's got his season average up to .299 and managed to hit a home run this month. He is also tied with Liriano for second on the Storm with 20 steals (Rico Noel leads the team with 42, and I believe he's second behind Billy Hamilton, who I believe has 100 already).

                  Last, here's another players who most likely will pop up somewhere in the everyday roster for the Padres this season. Jedd Gyorko has been mashing in Tucson. He's been playing 2B for a while.

                    Not really hyping the guy up, but the Mariners assigned Victor Sanchez (DOB 1/30/95) to low-A Everett. As far as I know, Luis Heredia (DOB 8/10/94) was the youngest professional player in America, now its Victor Sanchez, and he's in a higher affiliate too.

                        Just wait...it will get worse. I was almost in college when these guys were born. When you start watching players play in the bigs who weren't even born when you were playing in college, you feel old.

                            REDS FARMHAND Billy Hamilton, playing high Class A at Bakersfield, had five stolen bases Saturday and has 80 for the year, a year that isn’t half over. It is a certainty that before the second half begins that Hamilton will be promoted to Class AA Pensacola.

                              I'm way late, but that was by design. The Orioles initial plan for Bundy at Delmarva was for him to throw three 3 inning starts, three 4 inning starts, and three 5 inning starts. He only ended up throwing two of the scheduled 5 inning starts before they decided enough was enough and promoted him to Frederick.
