Minor League Thread Part Deux

[Deester11]

Not sure if anybody know but when does Lodise get assigned?

Been trying to find that out. But the Braves were releasing a few minor league players first so news should come shortly.

Alright sweet. Thanks buddy

DSL Braves score 15 runs in the first inning on their way to a 17-3 rout over the Pirates' DSL team.

Tornes didn't play unfortunately. But Espinal did and he continues to rake. Gabriel Cesa is doing well also.

Espinal does what? I’m confused.

Juan Espinal received the 2nd-highest bonus ($440,000) from the Braves during the 2024 signing period. Perdomo took over 80% of the Braves' pool last year, signing a $5 MM deal.

Espinal has had some pretty big-time contact issues striking out around 35% of the time but his walk rate and power look alright. This is a photo from his signing. Looks to be a pretty big kid.

Oops, guess I should proof read a little better.

*He continues to rake*

Owen Hackman, Didier Fuentes, and Luke Sinnard take the mound today. Columbus has not yet released their starting pitcher.

 

[Carp]

Sinnard is a guy I wouldn't mind pushing the rest of the season. Get him some looks in AA.

I thought he was ruined?

I thought he was ruined?

Let's hope not... today did end like 5-6 straight stinkers though

 

[Deester11]

I thought he was ruined?

No one thought that. However the handling was butchered. I just wasn't a fan of that move. But desperate times....I just would have called up 6 other AAAA pitchers that would suffice as sacrificial lambs...lol

 

[Hulavol]

This is turning out to be the longest offseason in history….

 

[bravesfanMatt]

gotta be some pitchers the Braves can use. Maybe go with a short fat guy that can’t throw strikes and see what he can do. I mean not too many of those guys in the league so it will probably work.

Looks like Sinnard was scratched yesterday for some reason.

Hackman: 3.2 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 3 K
Hackenberg: 3 IP, 8 H, 10 R, 9 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 1 HR, 1 WP (woof)

Hack had been injured and needs to pitch, but I was the lowest on him beginning last year. He could be a workhorse type but something is missing. I'm looking forward to seeing better but so far..meh.
