    8/24/2015 MONDAY MINORS FINAL ... Sims SL Pitccher of Week; Gil 1-hits Wilm..

    Lucas Sims, Mississippi (ATL)
    (2-0, 0.79 ERA, 2 G, 2 GS, 11 1/3 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 HR, 1 HBP, 6 BB, 15 K)

    Sims has had his problems in 2015, most notably in the control department, but in his last four starts, he's been close to stellar. Following last week's starts, the Braves' No. 7 prospect is 3-0 with a 1.99 ERA, 29 strikeouts and 13 walks in 22 2/3 innings over his last four Southern League outings. Armed with an impressive fastball and curveball, Sims has improved to 3-2 with a 4.19 ERA and 44 strikeouts while holding Double-A hitters to a .179 average in 34 1/3 innings with Mississippi. The effects of his late-season turnaround haven't been lost on the right-hander. "The final month especially, that's your most recent memories going into the offseason," Sims told MiLB.com on Sunday. "You always want to finish strong and head into the offseason on a positive note and take that and hopefully roll with it into the next year."

    Randy Ventura is probably our best prospect in the DSL. 70+ Runner.

    Ahhhhh... didn't realize he was THAT Ventura... at least it sounds minor for him. Severino broke his leg... hopefully he can come back from that.

    Hope he can finish strong. Was having a great season until the bus crash. He's been hitting better for the last couple of weeks.

    John Gant providing reason to believe he could be a useful major league pitcher.

    Following the same kind of layoff, Yoan Moncada struggled for weeks in A- before finally getting it going. I really wouldn't expect too much too soon from Olivera.

    Yeah, I'm not freaking out. I would like to see him turn it up a notch soon though

    He could be a valuable contributor to our drive to catch the Phillies. Not saying I lack confidence in the guys currently with the major league team.

    Well, it's very clear that some who did not like the trade are going to pounce on Olivera when he struggles the way all hitters go through slumps. He's just posting an .852 OPS in 44 AAA plate appearances this year.

    I'm more worried that he has that few ab's than whether he'll hit. I think he'll be fine offensively. Can he play 3b and stay healthy? That's what I'm worried about

    Would be some kind of awesome to see Sims, Mallex, Ruiz, Peterson, Riley, Briceno, Morales, and Acuna finish with a bit of a mini-tear going - sure would make the offseason system rankings pretty interesting with 2015 promotions taken into account.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    Ruiz has a .295/.356/.462/816 line for August. I still like him a lot

    Difference there is Moancada is like 22

    Not syaing Olivera isn't allowed to struggle. But as someone who hated the trade, he hasn't given much reason for hope so far, either offensively or defensively
