FRIDAY MINORS FINAL 6/14/19: Wright delivers best start

[Deester11]

I was at Trustmark tonight and will say the video doesn’t do that HR justice. The ball was absolutely crushed. I would love to know the exit velo. I’m guessing over 100.

Great game for Waters but Pache is still my favorite.

If you've never seen Pache...whew. If you've never seen Waters..whew. Lol. Great problems

Said before i think we may have to trade one, way both are progressing, they'll be up in 2020 at some point.

Pache and Waters gotta be untouchable.

Why trade one. Markakis is short term and Riley long term is a 3B. We have spots for both. That is unless one of them gets us something we badly need.

Good to see you posting again Coredor.

I get BABIP regression should be coming for Waters but lets just sit back and soak in the fact that he is 20 years old and sports a 25% LD Rate along with a 162wRC+ at AA.

You are looking at a borderline potential 5 win player at the big league level.

Kazmar!!!!!

Waters is the biggest future need imo. Quiet, consistent left handed stroke. Obp and power.
Will be avg to plus on defense.

Really interested to see his consensus rankings

Acuna Pache waters seems amazing. Still thinking it’s 2021 not 2020.But maybe they push it if they think they can keep extending guys

I let Pache and Waters stay in Mississippi and maybe head to Gwinnett if the Stripers are in the playoffs. Gwinnett has a pretty good AAAA OF right now and I don't know if the trade-off of getting Pache and Waters AAA ABs is worth not having someone more major-league ready (although in a very marginal way) remain sharp in case a need arises. I honestly don't think the challenge is that much higher in AAA than it is in AA. Only caveat to that would be if Ender is deemed done for the year at some point, Pache's defense may leapfrog AAA and put him in the bigs.

I would agree with this - It will be in the best interests to hold them both down at the very least till June of next season which means we will get another season of Neck (I'm a fan) as well as another 1 year vet contract. I suppose if there are no takers for Ender come the offseason we can put our last years OF there until June when the kids are ready.
