Minor league thread

For those following the players traded away in the Olson trade:

Langeliers has cooled off pretty heavily after a scorching start that saw him hit .330/.433/.716/1.149 through his first 24 games this year. Since that time, he has a line of .241/.326/.382/.709. Seems to be turning it back on in July though.

Pache has been sent down following an abysmal start to his Oakland career. He's taking the demotion in stride so far with a .984 OPS in 19 PAs. Really pulling for him to turn it around. He's a guy that is fun to root for.

Cusick has been horrible at AA so far. Walking the entire league and currently sports an 8.13 ERA. Obviously too early to give up on him, but relief seems to be in his future, imo.

Estes has been mediocre so far.
Maybe a victim of some bad luck as his peripherals are pretty nice overall. But he isn't going deep into games, averaging under 4.5 innings per start.

Matt Olson has been a slight disappointment, but with that said…

AA sold these prospects just in time. Cusick’s FRP shine appears to be wearing off. Pache has minimal value. Estes is a dime a dozen pitching prospect. Langeliers is a solid prospect, but not one that would headline a trade for a star.

I still believe in Estes, but I agree.

Internal scouting is just as if not more important than external.

AA is a wizard of a GM.
 
Glad to see Grissom get promoted. If he does get moved off SS eventually he’s athletic enough to play a corner OF spot.

We convinced the cart girl to sell us one as we walked the front 9 one summer. I was like 13. It was 1000 degrees outside. I remember not liking it that much. That has certainly changed.

BTW, that cart girl was your mom.
