Perdomo went 4-4 and is now hitting .333

Mejia’s ERA after seven scoreless tonight: 0.98

He is no Kevin Maitan thats for sure

He is no Kevin Maitan thats for sure

Ugh...that name alone should remain unspoken.

Ugh...that name alone should remain unspoken.

That’s the dang truth. Whew boy.

 

[cajunrevenge]

I thought only the Klobster and Melvin were on that list.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

What is Maitan doing now anyway?

Probably hitting the buffet with Bowman

Twins Affiliate? Same ol same ol...

If Perdomo is real …I mean big time….. How huge would that be!

It would be huge. Allows us to spend in other places. Perdomo is super young but middle of next year we should really know what we have with a lot of these young international guys.

Probably coming to the end of signing bonus 1, and looking to dip into signing bonus 2

Brett Boone was that way for MikeAdams back in the day

Who wants to tell me about Rayven Antonio at Augusta?

Colombian 19 year old right handed starter.... went 6.0 ip, 2 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 9 K's

Has had a good start to the year with a 1.98 ERA over 6 starts... a few solid starts at Augusta to end last year also.

Lol..I will...there is video of his 9 K'S, but there are a few things noted for him. First his FB sits comfortably at 94. Sure he can get it higher but there's enough effort on the 94 and as of yet, it's enough for lower level hitters. His slider is the swing and miss pitch IMHO. He is thick in the lower legs, but I don't think he drives off of it enough. He could probably generate another 2-4 mph if he drops and drives better. Just an opinion. He's good but I loved Fuentes a whole lot more than Antonio at the same stage and just as young. Antonio has a good body to work with and he is about 6"1/2. I think he can pitch deep the stronger he gets.

If he can work his secondaries enough to be at least average, he's got a good chance to be a starter. He's a 2 pitch pitcher to me thus far. I'm reserving that until he gets stronger but he's peaked my interest just enough to like him.

Bring him up as the great bullpen replacement of 2025.

 

[Carp]

In Augusta, Owen Carey stays hot with another 2 hits on Sunday. Over his last 21 games, he is hitting .319/.398/.442 (.840 OPS).

Isaiah Drake also has been on a heater over the last 8 days with a .923 OPS. He was a 5th round pick out of North Atlanta HS in 2023.

For not being highly ranked- our Farm provided a OF and top 2-3 starter in the majors and a few pen arms so far this year.

? What OF are you talking about?

 

[Tapate50]

SS and White Power

SS and White Power

SS was last year and isn’t a top 3 starter in MLB. White is 30 years old and didn’t come from our minor leagues.
