Minor League Week 16 Games Thread

[Wham with the Right Hand]

Agree..

Allen and Curry are coming along nicely, want to see how Curry's stuff plays up in AA/AAA..

Allen, Curry, Morgan, and Morris, with Espino further down the pipeline. Not too shabby, plus Battenfield, Elkington, and Hankins coming off TJ next year. A lot of interesting arms in the pipe.

Add Cantillo and… um… it’s Pilkington…

And Vargas may still end up bringing it.

Vargas I don't expect to see anything from in 22...

Davenport struck out 4 in his only inning last night.

Pretty good efficiency, IMO.

Likely a dropped pitch by the catcher that allowed the batter to get 1st base on a 3rd strike

Why? He had TJ in late April should be showing up by June/July.

He will be back on the mound, but it normally takes time to get back command and velo... Essentially I never expect anything from a pitcher when they get back to the mound after tommy john. that's just how I have always looked at it lol

 

[CATS44]

Its a good night when all four full season teams are starting interesting pitching prospects...

 

[Martyinnewyork]

Battenfield 6 innings 2 hits 1 earned run no walks 7 k’s.

Morris....4 innings...1 run....5 hits...2 K...51 pitches.

Gaddis....6IP....2 ER...4 H...3 K...78 pitches.

Torres...4IP...2 ER...3 H...1 BB...6 K...77 pitches.

Along with Battenfield, they combined for 18 K and 1 BB in 20 IP.

Interesting that, unless I’m mistaken, Battenfield is nowhere to be found in this year’s Baseball America prospect book.
