MINOR LEAGUE/PROSPECTS Thread

Dude, you nailed it! I can already hear him...

 

If he continues, the best would be Kershaw going 8 and Stolly--I am dubbing him this from here on out--closing it out.

long Q&A from Logan white... good read

 

Yeah, good read. You get an idea how much of a science signing pitchers is. His side note on Lincecum was interesting - not bad mechanics but more like an old fashioned pitcher.

 

Lol oops, I just made a thread of this!!

 

Keith Law has us at 12 overall. not bad for having no position players

 

Keith Law's opinion >

 

I could definitely get off to that #12 ranking after seeing us like 23rd on some other lists...its relieving lol

 

Anyone have insider? I really wanna see the Top 100 rankings, just got released

Here's what he said about Zach Lee:

Lee reminds me of Casey Kelly, in that both are hyper-athletic former quarterbacks with easy, picturesque deliveries, solid stuff, and strikeout rates a little below what you'd expect.
But as with Kelly, Lee projects to keep getting better with time and experience -- and it's always good to bet on the athlete when there's at least some history of performance. Lee will pitch at 90-97 mph on his best days with good command and great arm speed on his changeup, with a delivery he repeats extremely well. His breaking ball remains a work in progress, but did improve over the course of the season, and when that arrives, the strikeouts should follow.
At worst, he's a solid three, but there's some potential for him to front a rotation when he fills out if the breaking ball should advance even further than expected.

 

Allen Webster:

Webster is a converted shortstop who barely pitched in high school but has separated himself from the Dodgers' crop of high-ceiling arms with a great changeup and pretty good feel for pitching for a former position player.
He has excellent arm action and gets on top of the ball well to get sink on his fastball and great deception on a plus-plus changeup, meaning he gets ground balls and has no platoon split to worry about. His slider and curve are both fringe-average at the moment, and his velocity is also solid-average at 90-94, although he'll run it up to 98 from time to time. He's a good athlete who handles his position well and could gain a grade on the fastball if he fills out a little more.
Webster needs repetitions more than anything else, to help refine his command and develop one or both breaking balls, but the sink and the one plus secondary pitch give him a mid-rotation ceiling now with the chance for more.

 

Nate Eovaldi:

Eovaldi was a great find in the 11th round of the 2008 Rule 4 draft, a projectable guy who now has a plus fastball and will flash a plus slider. He'll sit 93-97 mph as a starter, working heavily with the fastball but not locating it quite well enough to put him into a big league rotation yet. His slider varies a lot with its velocity. At 85-87 mph, the slider has some tilt and he can bury it on a left-handed hitter's hands. But when he revs it up to 88-89, it is more like a cutter that breaks almost straight down and isn't that sharp.
He has a changeup but it's a show-me pitch at this point, slow enough out of his hands for hitters to potentially pick it up. He has a hook in the back of his delivery, but once he gets moving he has good leverage from his shoulder tilt and accelerates his arm quickly once he strides.

 

Let me know if there are any others you want me to post.

 

Awesome, thanks!
