Minor League Game Thread discussion thread

[Tondo]

Back to prospect discussions:

Benson is having a statistical breakout, but the red flag is his BABIP. Is it too a reflection of his swing/approach change or just some luck sprinkled in? There's no improvement in the SwStr% and as a result, the K% is still very high.
On a normalized BABIP, his slash line would be 200 BA and 350 OBP. Would anyone be excited about that?
I'm intrigued by his season, but the above data has me leaning to sell high on him in a trade, even though it's a huge risk to look really bad if he turns into Judge 2.0. But if some other team values him enough, I'd consider it. Most prudent action is to hold onto him, though I'm not sure he's worthy of a 40 spot.

That's the question, if they don't intend to roster him, it makes more sense to trade him, as someone will take a chance on him in Rule 5

We really won't know what they think of him until next seasons Nov, 40 man roster...

I'm sure there is some flukiness to his season, but even with that, his numbers he is putting up right now aren't even close to his career numbers so there has to be some legit factors to the breakout as well. But is it enough to merit adding him to the 40?

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

Sorry, had Reno blocked on the old site and should have known to just immediately do it here as well. It is now done so I no longer have to see his drivel.

I'm not going to repeat this.

Nothing @DickyLeftridge posted in this page was objectionable. If you insist on bringing up the Reno crap when a poster has violated neither the letter nor the spirit of the forum guidelines, it won't be him getting the vacation. It's the back and forth pissing in each others cornflakes for no good reason that causes most of the headaches in here.

I have 15,000+ posts on the other site, under this exact same name, dating back over 7 years. Most of which are on the Browns and WVU boards. I provided links to that information, which I did not need to do but wanted to provide as much assurance as I can that I'm not this person they keep claiming that I am.

It's simply ridiculous anyone would continue to claim that I am Reno.

As to the thread topic, between Benson and OGOATlez, we may finally have some OF help on the way. You squeeze a power-hitting OF bat in that 6 hole behind Jose/Franmil/BradGOAT, you're really cooking. I'm hoping either can be that. Their performance this year certainly says they could be.

So I have to ask permission to block someone?

No. Just block them without the additional fucking editorial comment that makes me come in here to address more crap.

It's kind of strange to see Siri get cut...

Siri is a victim of numbers. Its not a 40 man question. Its a Columbus roster problem. As our MLB pitchers return, more and more pitchers are shipped to Columbus.

Siri is a reliever far down the pecking order who will be a MiLB free agent in November anyway. He just became one a little earlier.

Always a chance that Siri saw the writing on the wall & asked for his release (for a variety of possible reasons: dislike of his situation here, hope to latch on somewhere else, considering retirement)..

I felt like Siri had every chance and he just didn't run with it... I just wasn't expecting him to go midseason is all.

I wonder if i asked Siri a random question if he would answer me.

Nice start!
