iTHURSDAY MINORS FINAL 6/1 ... Final at-bat losses everywhere

Cumberland triple off the wall, just missed a homer.

Pache is 3-4 with his 13th stolen base.
 
Acuna, Albies and Maitan.

All position players who will probably make a legit impact at major league level. My Lord.
 
Of the group of Anderson, Wentz, and Muller, I feel that Wentz probably has the most upside. He's a risk for sure but the upside is pretty big.

I think Muller is the riskiest but has quite a bit of upside as well. Anderson and Wentz however both look like they have pretty high ceilings, IMO... I just hope Anderson can get over his recent rough patch (excluding his one excellent start against a bad team).

I love Anderson! I think he'll end up a solid 3 in the league -- which is better than it sounds. I'm not high on Wentz, but I understood the pick and hope he can pan out.

The good thing with Wentz and Muller is that if they both struggle, we can try and develop them as hitters.

I think Anderson is a number 3 starter as well. I don't think he has as much upside as Wentz but he's far safer. Wentz could be anything from a top flight starter to a lefty reliever to complete bust that never reaches the majors. The risk is real but so is the potential reward.

I don't have as much of a take on Muller yet. We'll need to see him in action more first.
 
Has anyone noticed Ozzie's severe splits in Gwinnett?

As a RH batter (55 PAs): .377/.400/.528
As a LH batter (177 PAs): .226/.282/.327

And find it quite odd that he's had so many more PAs against LHP?

I think he's been clearly worse against LHP through his minor league career. Makes you wonder if we might try having him hit solely as a lefty at any point. I would doubt it, but it would seem that it would be tough for him to do any worse against LHP hitting from the left side.

ETA: Dang it, I just realized the RH and LH are referring to Albies himself, not the pitcher. Well then, that makes more sense, and just flip everything I said.

It definitely takes the advantage away of being a switch hitter if you can't hit for average. You will usually always have more power from one side, but it shouldn't affect your average....well...if you are a true switch hitter.
