SUNDAY MINORS THREAD 7/2: Wisler throws a gem

On a day not much went right, Matt Wisler had his second straight strong effort. Is he back from the brink?
 
Looking for signs of players coming of age, how about Lucas Herbert?

Still only 20, he hit .410 for June (25/61) with only nine strikeouts (one homer, 11 RBIs). He's up to .276 with a hot start to July as well. Remember, he was Allard's catcher in high school, deemed the best catch-and-throw guy in the draft. Apparently, he's going to have offensive skills as well.

I recall that he homered in his first game as a pro, then tore his meniscus in the second game and was out for the season. Maybe he's finding his form.
 
Didn't take long. Sanders Commings has requested and has been granted his release.

With Danville: 6 games, 2 for 13, one double, one RBI, nine strikeouts.

He's a flawed guy. That's why we got him for what we did.

We are still hearing elite d and power. He'll have to see if he has the hit tool to be a MLB bench guy or better. He's still pretty young.

IIRC there are lots of guys making impacts this year and last as rookies at 24-26. Not everyone is a 19 y/o freak like some of our guys.
 
Demeritte never had more than an outside shot to be a major league regular. I still think he could be a useful bench player. Maybe even the right-handed side of a platoon at third.
 
Albies, Acuna, Gohara, Soroka, and Allard? I'd agree.

I'm starting to wonder though, he could be closer to #1 than #5. we'll see.
