SATURDAY MINORS THREAD 5/13: More Moves Soon

Mallex is a 70 runner with a 50 hit tool. Not a lot of baseball instincts and had a te30 to 40 arm

Seymore is an 80 runner with a 40 hit tool who can maybe play of and I have no idea on the arm. If this kid actually can hit a little then he becomes a fourth of

He's batting .476 right now...🤔
 
Seymour will be 22 next month. He's barely OPS'd .600 before and wasn't at .700 when he was promoted. He isn't close to Mallex. A 40 hit tool on him is crazy generous right now. I wouldn't give Mallex a 50, either. If he had a 50 hit tool, he'd be a 3+ WAR guy.
 
Btw, Demeritte now with five homers and hitting .283, walking at a good clip and strikeouts are down. Add in what Keith Law called 70 defense this week, and things are starting to get exciting with him.

What's Albies' defense?
 
Nonetheless, the Braves' minor league talent and depth is incredible. They have enough arms and bats to make a solid bullpen, rotation and bench in the future.
 
Demeritte has a real chance to rocket up the lists. He started making adjustments last year and they worked. He's always has the pedigree and the tools

I keep looking at his stat line and wonder why his power seems to be down then realize Miss is a horrible place to hit. He's having a good year.
 
Starting to think that the best play might be trading Albies in a package for something of need and Demeritte is the 2B of the future. I'm not quite there yet. But, Albies value to the team is high average, high OBP and good defense. OTOH, Demeritte is showing elite level defense according to some and brings power and some speed. If he can keep the power and hit at least .250 or so, he could be more valuable that Albies overall, even if Albies hits well.

I don't know if this is a wise move or not, but I found this interesting...

Albies career ops = .782

Demeritte ops = .814

Albies age = 20-126d
Demeritte age = 22-225d

Albies AA/AAA PAs = 766
Demeritte AA/AAA PAs = 139

Demeritte was still in A ball at the age Albies was getting his first AAA action.

Albies is a far superior prospect to Demeritte, and it isn't even close. Prospect fatigue is setting in with Albies and folks are looking for the new shiny thing.
