MONDAY MINORS MESS 4/30/18: Will May be a merry month?

[jpx7]

This is Wisler's fourth year in AAA, third in the IL and he didn't dominate the IL in the past. Plus SSS for everyone this early. He is also 25 whereas Soroka and Allard are 20 year old rookies. Even Sims is two years younger than Wisler.

Exactly. Wisler should be dominating AAA, if he’s ever going to amount to anything at the next level; Soroka and Allard shouldn’t, which is why their prospects are much better. Sims is more of a question-mark; but, given how his stuff has looked for Cobb County, I’m not sure how much his dominating really indicates.

18 innings of goose eggs from our AAA and AA pitchers today.

[Garmel]

I just realized Sims is out so he pitched 5 scoreless, 2 h, 2 BB, 5 K. 1.46 ERA in AAA now.

He also has 10 walks in 12.1 innings. He's getting very lucky.

Yes. Going to same. Sims games are not like soroka. The efficiency is not there. 80+ pitches to just clear 5. Soroka can get to 7 with that.

They just need to cut their losses with Joey bats...he’s toast. It’s an absolute joke that they have basically promised him the 3rd base gig if he can only cobble a few good games together in AAA. He will get torched in the majors, but Snitker will still use him every day.

[TheBravos]

Wisler has killed AAA too. Kinda makes me question Soroka and allard's numbers some. Is the international league terrible offensively?

Wisler also has dominated the MLB at times also, but comparing the two...nah. Soroka is 6 years younger, has better stuff....and is waaay smarter.

Allard on the other hand may benefit from being in AAA though (I think he has better stuff and again is 6 years younger). We shall see how his fastball translates in MLB.

Allard and Soroka are a different level of prospect than Wisler.

Soroka is probably the safest bet of any pitcher in the minors that will make it in the pros.

Unless One of the Gohara, Julio, Folty, Newk, Soroka group falter...I see Allard as the guy that gets traded before he is “possibly” exposed in the majors.

There is another crop behind Soroka and Allard.

So Whitley was optioned to AAA. Wonder who is coming up today.

Bats probably.

Gotta figure Sanchez or Ramirez

They are going to upgrade to someone whose fastball averages 88.1 mph.

If it’s bats...then AA is full of crap saying he has to “earn” it.

I am thinking Sanchez too
