I do. I remarked to my wife recently that Freddie looks faster than he used to be. Only recently has this caught my eye, and I was glad Encheff posted those stats. That said, I used to think of him as sort of lumbering. I'm not into it enough to do the research, but it would be fun to see if...

Wasn't there a post linking some sort of analysis of his curve on here a while back? Maybe there was only a video of a pitch that showed what looked like staggering vertical movement. I agree that it would be nice to have some measurable data reported. Isn't his fastball supposed to have good...

That's really encouraging. What's the current "board consensus" on his ceiling and on his most likely outcome? Do most still think he has an ace ceiling?

Thanks, Rico. Appreciate your consistent info.

Wouldn't mind seeing him brought up in May next year, if he starts fairly hot. That would both delay his clock and to be a little more sure that he's what he appears to be. My guess is he is the starting RF in 2018, if they can figure out to do with one or both of our current corner OF's...

Has Dansby taken a slider to right all year, up to now? Nice jump out of the box, too.

That does seem weird.

I'm still hopeful about Newk. I do agree with Encheff, though, if he doesn't drop the walk rate after 30-40 more starts, we'll probably all tire of it. I think it's easy to look at two of the last three starts for Folty, though, and forget his legitimate improvement. Or maybe his value...

Those predictions are not all that pessimistic, in reality, but I sure hope he exceeds them. I don't know if the FO will even bring him up, though I would expect it. He sure looks like a superstar, but so did Jason Heyward. The Braves are due for someone to have an incredible rookie...

Surely you don't mean that. Hope it's not serious, thought it sure looks bad.

Maitan didn't have the only 0-fer at Danville. Danville's staff (three guys) combined for a no-no.

Hit by pitch.

0-3 so far tonight, but at least he's playing. Way to early to be worried about him, performance-wise.

I assume that you are allowing for six times that umps ring him up on bad calls for the strikeouts, and that the .628 also assumes a few bad calls at first, where the umps made up their minds early, not anticipating his FV81 speed. (The Bravos would challenge some of these, but the politburo in...

Don't see that happening. That's something you do with a developing prospect that you hope isn't in the final analysis a AAAA player. He may come up and then go back down if he struggles mightily, like Swanson, but they are't going to treat him like Lane Adams.

There's no surety, but I like the odds.

You are right. The April OPS is the only one that is below the major league average. That's what you meant, right?

Yeah, but it was a go ahead clutch double, resulting in a win. Albies still hasn't gone on an extended roll, but he's right at the top of the IL in hits. Not bad for his age.

Ozzie with 19 hits in his last ten games, too.

Thanks.
