As we all know, it looks good til it doesn't. I've spoken on his command before, but IF he can at least be passable around the plate, he'd not hurt you. As you pointed out Carp...that 8 BB per is ugly. He's got an electric arm though.

It's been rough for sure. I'm a little spoiled and I'm just a guy who's been lucky enough to watch our system. I'm always lower than consensus, but it's rough going to games and seeing average ish talent at best. I have no patience for smoke and mirrors and once in a blue moon performances...

This is no fun..but Didier is going to be fine. Eventually

Nothing I haven't said regarding stuff, command and experience. Sigh

I'm not privy to the analytical approach the Braves use nowadays to assess talent. I'm sure there are more advance metrics than my feeble mind can comprehend, but IF by the chance the Braves are following close to the Dodgers/Padres analytical model, the Braves aren't following it. They must...

You’re definitely spot on 50. It’s just a shame that any command that he might have will only last for a sequence or two. I also think it’s made his out pitch back up because it never was a strike pitch to begin with. It was always an out of the zone pitch that looked like a strike until it...

Hmm. Not really Hula. JR is a known commodity so I won't touch on him (he's top 3 IMHO). Hayden is an underrated prospect for sure. What I like about him most is his slider and the way he hides the fastball. FB is the usual 92-94 variety but the swing and miss is real with it. To me, he's...

yeah, they’re still allowed to cheat and sign 13-year-olds. Funny how the investigation disappeared with nothing found when they’ve been doing the same thing as the braves. They've done it for years. That whole system is a shit hole.

They can have the ghost of Kevin Maitan, the great Izzy Wilson, Shean Michael and a great big F U if they're really asking for that kid.

Michael was signed out of the Dominican in 2024 and activated immediately. He had an otherwise non eventful DSL debut, but I made note he was HBP 18 times! In 49 games. He's a spindly made up dude but easy projection to add strength and weight. Didn't look extraordinarily fast to me but he has...

For the "don't criticize AA" crowd...this is prime time for him to undo the travesty of the farm system. Call it soft reset or whatever but there are components of this team that need to be carved out from this team. You have a few pieces that you can trade for lottery projections. I'd do it...

103 avg? A few weeks ago it was 103-106. As a 16 y/o. That's eye and two reports. My thoughts easily over 100... Also...I wouldn't worry about HR's right now. He's got 7-8 extra base hits including a few triples. He drives the ball plenty.

He's my guy although I wish Perdomo hadn't all of a sudden forgot everything he was doing early. He's still so talented but Tornes has taken hitting to another level for a Brave position player. Patience...approach...barrel..EV....speed (15/15 SB)...He's legit..I just hope they don't tinker too...

Let us know your thoughts...just got done watching Tornes, Espinal and Martinez. Love the offensive potential of each. Diego is dialed in.

That's the move we've been waiting for.

Didier just explained his splitter. Like I said. This kid... 4-seam FB CB - Spikes it. After the FB Sweeper - is not a Sweeper, it's a slider. Splitter - Throws it like his FB. Ever since he was a kid he's thrown it.

I thought he posted recently...?

Yes and no. I love the experience he'll get, but I like to see success a little more consistently in the minors. (My inner old man kicks in I guess). The one good thing I can say about him and AJSS, is that their composure was always incomparable. I've written enough about Didier. Lol. He...

You and Ensheff make good points. This year he wasn't throwing his splitter that much in the minors, but he also threw a shorter slider in the minors and I did not see that in his debut. To Enscheffs other point he needs to speed up pitch mix pretty quickly but likely won't in the majors so...

I often sit closer to scouts because it's cheap to go to games. I'm not the only one who thinks his splitter is good or going to be....That said I still maintain his splitter (while possibly being a developing pitch is a good pitch). I do think it can be the difference in him developing into a...
