2014 Minor League Thread

Tyler Cloyd's line tonight:

9IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 6K

No hitter, plunked a guy in the ninth inning to prevent himself a perfecto. Got the next guy to ground into a double play.

Soooo....call up Walters soon?

If they're not going to give Lindor the call, then I'd be inclined to agree, and play him at short every day temporarily.

Honestly, I would put him at DH for a few games and let him focus on hitting major league pitching. The guy obviously has power and the Tribe needs it right now.

My pipedream of one day seeing a Tribe lineup featuring Silento Sayles and Sicnarf Loopstok has been reborn...

Not sure if I did a bigger double take at his name, or his 4 for 6 with 4 HR's stat-line so far. Yikes.

Totally sustainable.

Totally sustainable.

You won't be laughing when he brings his 3.400 OPS to the big leagues.

George Kottaras who?

Totally sustainable.

324 homers a year may be aspirational... But don't count out a guy named Sicnarf

Oh, I'll be laughing. Maniacally. At my scouting skills based entirely upon liking their names.

The summer of Sicnarf!

The summer of Sicnarf!

Sicnarf update:

3-for-6 with a 3B yesterday. Dropping his OPS to a meager 2.393

I was going to update but thought it a little obsessive. Thank you for making it OK. The strikeout he had was on a called 3rd strike that was well out of the strike zone*. Umps are learning there too. Could have hit the triple out also, but he knows he needs to work on his baserunning so he just drove it to the wall instead*. The Legend of Sicnarf the Destroyer continues...

Jose Ramirez is 10x a better prospect than Walters and playing well at the MLB level. Walters was never acquired to play short, more of a super utility guy.
