    Re: The Official Pimp Yo Prospect Thread

    So cool to read this old thread, see which prospects were then highly touted, which weren't and became great, etc.

    Also you find out how well people know their stuff.

      Re: The Official Pimp Yo Prospect Thread

      Just browsing through previously mentioned players, Casey Kelly has been pretty much non-existent due to injuries. Kevin Quackenbush was called up recently, had a bad outing, then got sent back down to make room for Cameron Maybin.

      Matt Wisler has been pretty good so far, 30 K's in 25 IP's despite being the second youngest pitcher in AA. Austin Hedges hasn't been hitting all too well, but he also falls in the same boat as a 21 year-old playing in AA.

      Hunter Renfroe has been hitting decently, lots of homers and lots of whiffs. Joe Ross and Zach Eflin (one of the three high school pitcher the Padres drafted back in 2012) have made a pretty good two-pitcher tandem in Lake Elsinore.

      There's an 18-year old outfielder in Fort Wayne (Padres Class-A affiliate) who stands in at 6'5" 240 named Franmil Reyes. So far he's hitting .297 with 3 home runs, and for the time being has not turned out to be some older dude... yet (I'm looking at you Alvaro Aristy/Jorge Guzman, Yoan Alcantara/Yeison Asencio).

        Well, let's try to revive this old thread. It's interesting to go back and see names on this page like Puig/Hamilton/Fernandez/Machado. Anyways, Joey Gallo is off to an amazing start of 2014, and will likely get promoted to AA soon. The 20 year old already has over 70 career MILB HR's in just under 200 games. He broke the Arizona League record for HR's in 2012, and if he had not missed a month of the 2013 season, he likely would have broken both the South Atlantic League HR record (He fell 2 short) and the Low A record (He missed by 4). Tonight, Gallo went 3-4 with 3 HR's and 3 BB's. In 19 games, here's the numbers he's put up.

        .359/.458/.891
        9 HR's
        22 RBI's


        He's struggled with his strikeout rate in the past, striking out in 37% of his AB's in 2013, however, he's dropped that number down to 27% this year, without hurting his walk rate, or any other part of his offensive game. He has 80 grade raw power, and he's a pretty decent defender on top of that. It'll be interesting to see if he sinks or swims when the Rangers eventually promote him to Frisco.
        Amen. As soon as I saw this thread, I was going to make a post about Gallo. The man crushes baseballs. I'm a season ticket holder for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans. I sit front row, directly behind home plate, so I get the closest view to this stud third baseman. I love seeing him come to the plate! Made it a point one night to go out to Walmart and buy a cheap baseball and go to a game 30 minutes early to go down and meet him to get him to sweet spot autograph a ball before he gets called up. I felt strongly enough about Jorge Alfaro as well to do the same thing the week before.

        I love the Rangers' prospects down in AA and lower!

          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.

          "Plus Curveball"

          I do love scouting reports.

            Well that scouting report from 2 years seems pretty accurate as he developed his off speed and is arguably the best RHP in the majors right now.

              Oh I agree, atm he is definitely my favorite player in the league. I was just saying his curveball is, from what I've seen, a plus-plus. (On a 20-80, that's an 80). It's the best I've seen maybe in my life, though I'm not yet 20.

                Kris Bryant hit .464 with 4 HR 14 RBI and 12 R scored last week.

                That's okay, I guess

                  Texas Rangers/ Myrtle Beach Pelicans recap: My two favorite players from last year's single-A Myrtle Beach team, of the Texas Rangers, 2B Rougned Odor and SS Luis Sardinas were BOTH called up to the Rangers a few days ago and due to an injury, Odor is currently the starting 2B for Texas! He hit a HR a couple nights ago, drove in 2 RBI and made 2 diving plays at 2B.

                  Also, Joey Gallo, our starting 3rd baseman in Myrtle Beach hit home run number 14 last night which leads all of minor league baseball. At all levels!

                      Re: The Official Pimp Yo Prospect Thread

                      Another update on Joey Gallo. He went 4-4 with 3 HR's and 5 RBI tonight. His line on the season: .345/.451/.791, with 17 HR's and 37 RBI. Fangraphs hasn't updated yet, but his BB rate was up to nearly 17% and his wRC+ going into tonight was 210. He's on pace for 61 HR's. He's obviously going to get the call to move up to Frisco soon, and depending on how he performs there, he could definitely become a top 10 prospect going into 2015.

                        I was in the stadium on the 3 HR night..he's incredible. Best pure power hitter I think I've ever seen live. FOR SURE in the minor leagues. Would make a push for most major leagers as well..even seeing the Likes of Albert Pujols, Adam Dunn, Griffey Jr., Sammy Sosa, etc, I never saw a guy own power like this guy does over the course of this length of time, in person.

                          Gallo has homered two nights in a row. 1-2 with a HR (#21) and BB tonight/ His slash line is now .322/.460/.764. Although he's only hitting .214 in his last 10 games, his OPS is 1.071. It's time for the AA promotion. He's done all he can do in High A.

                            It happened :/
                            Chi-Chi Gonzalez too. I knew it wouldn't be long, but it's sad to go to the ballpark without the big thumper in the lineup anymore.

                              And Gallo's first AA hit is a three run, walk off HR.

                                Gallo already has 4 HR's in AA. He's only been there since Monday.


                                Fun fact: He has 86 career singles. He also has 87 career HR's. Wow.
