2016 DRAFT Signing Tracker ... FINAL, JULY 15

Brandon S. White
(12th rounder from Lander)

Closing for Danville: 3 G, 3 IP, 0 R, 2 saves

Brandon T. White
(13th rounder from Davenport)aG, 1-0, 1 save, 4.50 ERA

Based on early returns 12th rounder White was considered the more advanced pitcher ... but I shared your cynical thought!
 
I honestly think that the scouts liked both guys (they obviously scouted Davenport because they drafted Clouse later) and Brandon 13 had solid stats for Davenport. He's a little older and played JC ball before playing for Davenport. And teams sometimes do goofy crap like this for the heck of it (although they probably liked both players).

I think they liked one of them but got confused as to which one so decided to take both:happy0157:
 
I know it's an extremely small sample size, but i think Kyle Lewis' numbers are very encouraging for him. i get that he's a college player in A-ball, but the fact he came in and isn't striking out much at all is huge, IMO. obviously higher levels will be a bigger test, but he's seeing better pitching than in college and he's keeping the Ks super low.

Hes a top of the draft college bat in A ball. IF he's not doing that then ppl worry.

I've noticed this growing trend on the board as we all become more interested in the prospect watch. We all tend to favor the players that put up the best numbers irregardless of level. I have seen from many on this board that think Sorotka is our best pitching prospect and it's completely based on his A ball number.

Lewis won't get exposed until AA.. if he kills AA, then there is a legit chance he will be good. I really don't take anything anyone does in rookie ball with much regard. I like it when our guys do well, but I don't pencil them in our starting lineup until they prove they can do it in AA..

I think we just said the same thing in completely different ways.

Soroka is very young for his level. This is part of the reason why I and others think so highly of him. Plus he has a pedigree as a first round pick and the reports of his stuff are good.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to say I'm putting a ton of stock in Lewis' numbers at the moment, just good for him that he's not striking out even 18-20% of the time (which would be understandable if he was). The fact he's seeing better pitching and isn't striking out a lot is good for him.

I agree.. If he was struggling at this level, then I don't think he would figure it out later..
 
While we wait for the minor league thread, Wentz is dealing again today. 2 IP, 1 H (infield single), 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K.

Little different for a college player and a high schooler in A ball

Before we put the guy in the Hall Of Fame, it's worth noting that Austin Riley put up better numbers (.351/.443/.586/1.028) with 9 doubles, a triple, 5 HRS, and a 14/28 BB/K in 25 more ABs at Danville last summer.

Just sayin'.

Lewis is doing this at A ball, not the rookie league.
