Minor League Thread Part Deux

[bravesfanMatt]

that seems rushed unless they want him working with someone

 

[Carp]

He needs to get those walks down. 7.84 bb9, wow

It's possible he's working on specific pitches and we're not necessarily interested in overall results.

 

[Nerfherders]

Wow. Guessing he'll be happy to leave that uniform behind.

 

[Hulavol]

Murphy perhaps being in Gwinnett means we are viewing him as a call up to be an emergency longman if Reylo is toast. Or if Suarez keels over from a massive infarct. Or if someone realizes that being blackmailed by Bummer is no longer tenable.

 

[Deester11]

Man...Guanipa...loving his season.

 

[IslandBrave]

2 bombs for Lodise today!

 

[Southcack77]

Is Murphy's velocity on the average fastball any better than it has been? It's not going to work if not.

Think his IVB was like 20" on the fastball though, so it might play up

Velocity by itself isn't all that relevant.

 

[Southcack77]

Velocity by itself isn't all that relevant.

I don't think what he was working with last time I saw an average velo (very low 90s) has a prayer.

 

[Carp]

Lodise with 2 bombs. Guanipa with and Nick Montgomery also with a bomb.

Cam being roughed up in Rome tonight.

Plenty of successful pitchers throwing low 90s

I read he was up to 96 last start. Don’t know details though

He was but that is certainly an anomaly. Murphy will have games where all of his pitches are moving. That's his bread and butter. It's more critical for him than any velocity he can throw. He cannot live at the top of the zone with any pitch. None. Zero. Zilch. I like Murphy but I think he's the type of pitcher that when things go south...it's not pretty. That said...he's growing. He needs time.

FG Prospects chat was generally glowing on the braves system.

Mentioned a few specifically but said that Atlanta's system had likely taken the biggest step forward of any minors club.

Obviously early, and you'd like to see it mid year.

Hope the better rankings still means ROY candidates every year.

The Braves could have several on that list TBH. Braves do an excellent of drafting regardless of how our system is ranked. The step forward in our offensive prospects could extend this window another 5 years especially with the 2 top picks coming up. I wish we could trade for another early comp pick.
