THURSDAY MINORS FINAL 7/20 ... Miss. wins in 12

[Southcack77]

Having Riley at 3B this year would have been real nice.

Smootness as in Fred Smoot, then?

[Southcack77]

Interesting that they have not promoted Severino yet. Is that a positional conflict with Maitan or someone else at Danville, do you think?

Albies with a leadoff homer. This increase in power has change his profile dramatically.

Yeah, but it was only a solo shot. Not enough to get him back into the Top 50.

He needs to get the strikeouts down before I'd move him up. Jean Carlos Encarnacion is the one that needs to get moved up.

[UNCBlue012]

Albies has been amazing for a while now. He's just such a pure hitter. DO NOT TRADE HIM, COPPY

[Deester11]

Funny. I've watched him since Rome and said he's easily a top 20 prospect and people dropped him for the dumbest reasons. That solo shot only moved him to 51 En....

Oh heck yes.

[CJ9]

Another two Ks in his first three at bats for Drew Waters tonight.

[thethe]

Lugbauer hits 2HR tonight. Having a nice start to his professional career.

[Ozzie Swanson]

So are we ready to admit that Acuna was promoted too early since he is striking out at a ridiculous rate at AAA?

[CJ9]

Minter getting crushed again in Gwinnett, ERA is over 10 now.

The collective impatience seemingly displayed by the powers-that-be is something to watch.

Some of us were ready to admit that weeks ago.

Wut

[smootness]

Haha you guys are so ready to pounce you don't even check to see if he's right. Acuna came into tonight K'ing at 20%, and is still at 26% after a 3 K night.

Send him to Danville.

I don't need to see his K rate in AAA to know the Braves are rushing him.

I don't think rushing him to AAA is near as detrimental as rushing him to the majors and then benching him when he eventually struggles. I hope he struggles a bit more then learns how to battle through it.. which he can do in AAA just fine.

If anyone thinks the FO is going to stop rushing him just because he's in AAA...they haven't been paying attention.
