rico, I asked the question in the other 7/6 minor league thread, but could you do some research on Jean Carlos Encarnacion? He was a May, 2016, signing, which is kind of an odd time for a signing.

[CrimsonCowboy]

At the game in Mobile. Interested in seeing Gohara

[50PoundHead]

William Contreras lighting it up in Danville tonight. 3/3 with 1 2B and 1 HR. 4 RBIs.

Found this in Fangraphs' preseason writeup on the system:

A Dominican infielder who signed for just $10,000, Encarnacion has begun to grow into his lanky 6-foot-3 frame and flash above-average power. He was a little old for the DSL last year but is worth monitoring as he moves stateside.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Acuna two hard liners, but nothing to show so far

[Ozzie Swanson]

So when do we start getting excited about Gohara? Dude has been pretty awesome for us this year in A+ and AA and has electric stuff from the left side.

he is fat.. sorry.

[Ozzie Swanson]

he is fat.. sorry.

And had previous shoulder issues blah blah blah. He's also 20 in AA with the ability to throw 97 from the left side with a very solid slider.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Aside from a first inning solo homer, six solid innings for Gohara

[bravesfanforlife88]

he is fat.. sorry.

Cc sabbathia was okay

[CrimsonCowboy]

Gohara came back out for the seventh. Retired the first two hitters before allowing a double and was taken out. Looked pretty good tonight.

[50PoundHead]

CC, how is Devan Watts' stuff? The guy has been unhittable this season.

Demeritte numbers are plunging. Anyone seen him lately? Is he having any good swings?

[Deester11]

He is not. Very easily flying open and out on his front foot a lot. He looks like Gant during the clueless days. I've seen him look much better with less guessing. He's guessing or second guessing himself. I've given a few first hand posts of Albies since Rome. Not even close...

And last night, ninth inning error led to walkoff 3-run homer; he is costing them nightly.

[CrimsonCowboy]

CC, how is Devan Watts' stuff? The guy has been unhittable this season.

He looked good getting the last out in the seventh and retiring the side in the eighth. Obviously, he was hit in the ninth, but Demerritte's error was the play of the inning before the home run. Makes the play, home run doesn't likely have the chance to happen.

[CrimsonCowboy]

He had a walk tonight, but he didn't show anything else in the way of offense. His error in the ninth tonight was bad.
