Minor League Thread Part Deux

[msstate7]

So Hartman has essentially jumped to our #2 prospect according to Baseball America. Fuentes and Ritchie are likely going to be graduated from the list in a few weeks.

Too low

Tornes in CF, Essenburg in RF, Sinnard starting on the mound for the FCL team.

No Michael Martinez is notable. Braves typically promote guys on Mondays during the off day for full season teams, so hopefully he's on his way to Augusta.

 

[CJ9]

Sinnard is done: 4.1 IP, 4 H, 1 R/ER, 0 BB, 7 K.

I'm guessing the next pitch he throws will come in Double A.

Michael Martinez to Augusta.

Good bc he needed to be. I hope he keeps this up bc we have an insane amount of bats coming.

Augusta and Rome are going to be really fun to watch for awhile now.

 

[CJ9]

Hackenberg in another rehab start: 3 IP, 2 H, 2 R/ER, 1 BB, 6 K. Fastball averaged 93.5.

 

[CJ9]

Carter Holton making a rehab appearance in FCL now. He was our 2024 2nd rounder out of Vandy. He made one bad start after being drafted and then had TJ.

I forgot about him

It’s the 7th inning, and Tate Southisene is 2-4 with FIVE stolen bases. 32 steals in 37 games to go along with his .898 OPS.

Immediately, this is the first player that came to mind with that open stance swing:

Eh. Lol. I wrote about him a little last year. I keep going meh...but he hits. Enough to be engaged.

Would be really nice to see Hartman in Pensacola on Saturday.

Doug Drabek looks 65 years old and quite cantankerous

Is he expected to stick in the OF or is his future more 1B/DH? He looks thickly built.

I can't imagine there is any way he sticks in the OF. While he has spent some time at each OF position as a professional, 95% of his playing time has come in LF, which is a red flag for me. There are no reports on his defense that I can find. He may be able to cover LF early in his career. But the frame seems destined for 1B/DH, imo.

 

[Hulavol]

He is a big boy, that’s for sure!
