MINOR LEAGUE/PROSPECTS Thread

Watch the hair growth on that left hand.

 

Willie with another that makes 25!!!

 

5 - 0 since the party (I know I keep harping on it), Outscored their opponents in those 5 wins 38 - 8!

 

On the way to 6 - 0!!!! 8 - 0 after 4 innings.

 

Trevor Oaks, another random Dodger minor league starter having a huge year. Don't know much about him, but he seems like a big time sinker ball innings eater type guy.

Throwing a 1 hit shutout in OKC

Season: 13-3 2.87 ERA

 

Him and that Brock Stewart guy seemingly came out of nowhere. Hopefully he's better than Stewart though.

 

I don't think Stewart is bad or anything, he had 2 bad outings but whatever

But yeah Oaks is hella random and maybe he can become a guy

 

Yadier Alvarez: 5IP 0H 0R 3BB 8SO
Touched 101 MPH on the gun

 

Puig is 13/27 (.481) with 3 HR's in 7 games OKC. He could be doing that for us...

 

God I hope he gets another chance (I know so many already blah blah)

 

doubt it

 

It sounds like Puig has found a home where he can succeed.

If it improves his trade value, so be it. That might actually be what he is trying to do.

 

The last time he played in the majors he did go 3 - 5 so he could have been doing this for the club. With our obvious weakness against left handed pitchers it stands to reason that he could be helpful. We'll see but wherever he ends up I'll be rooting for him. OKC finally lost after 6 straight wins.

 

I know that it wasn't production related I was citing an example of how hot he was going in and how hot he has maintained that pace whilst our hitting against lefties is a reason that he might be helpful. The video was very much a stupid decision we all agree on that but if you don't think somebody else would have found a way to post it especially these days. He has since apologized for doing that but there is the argument that when a veteran who makes loads of cash goes down to the minor he usually pays for a party and he did but Puig being the most polarizing figure in baseball it was a huge deal. The OKC team is 6 - 1 since so you can say and I will that the party has had a impact. As for his status yeah he's probably not going to be back up in a Dodgers uniform this year and could be traded but he's again 25 years old and IF Reddick isn't re-signed it could be 2017. Either way I'm a fan for life and y'all can shit on him all you want I'm not going to change barring a criminal charge of course.

 

Yeah, I think MGT is done with Puig......sucks cuz if he could reign in his attitude I think he could be a huge asset. But, I do believe he is doing exactly what MGT wanted when they sent him to AAA. Hit the crap out of the ball, and maybe improve his trade value. Lets just hope we get something good in return at the August deadline.

 

Was there a word in there that pointing out the apology was justification? IF you watched and had interest in baseball for the number of years as I have you would know it's not unusual for a guy who gets sent down to treat the team when they are rich. Ex-players have said it. It happens alot like I wrote but because he posted it which I pointed out was the mistake but even if he hadn't which AGAIN I wrote was wrong, you know it would have gotten out. Not fantasy island here that is a reality these days. AGAIN still wrong to post it. Hell yeah look around he is the most polarizing players on this team and in the majors and in sports!! Perfect example was the Rosendouche tweet. All I pointed out with the OKC record is that maybe this team needed to blow off steam, they were struggling horribly and since then 6 - 1. Managers give guys days off to shake them up, they don't practice to give guys breaks, Joe Maddon is a master at keeping guys loose OBVIOUSLY they don't throw parties which again is WRONG but it's a technique. Admittedly it was a an unintended consequence but WHO CARES. I'll keep posting things about him you know that so you might as well ignore me.
