Series Thread: King-less Mariners invade Globe Life 6/3-6-5

[WastinSomeTime]

Has anyone kept track of how Alfaro is doing?

Not me but Nicholas is raking it at AAA.

Agreed. Then guys like Cordell and Guzman are not that far away as well. That is why I am willing to dump Prince and also trade Choo in the offseason. Make room for a better team.

I still say Choo will stay around through next season at least. I'd rather bank on one young'un at a time instead of 3-4.

55 on the 80 scale as of last year, I'm guessing that number has gone up substantially

His power rated as 65 but it wasn't in game power yet

That is much lower than I would have expected on the hit tool. I bet that has gone up quite a bit as well.

That seems low.

Nice restful night for the BP.

 

[Kelleyman]

Profar power showing up now too

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Which is what pairs well with Gallo's raw power. A guy with a hit tool like Maz won't be slump proof, but he will work his way out faster than someone with lesser plate discipline.

Agree and he uses all the field. Does a good job of going with the pitch.

32 games in AA, 4 HRs, 27 RBIs, 3 BB, .321 AVG, .815 OPS

 

[jta4437]

That seems low.

Now it does but it seems to jive with what he actually did in the minors, things just seem to really have come together for him this offseason/ST

That's not bad...damn

They showed his spray chart the other night and he literally his foul line to foul line.

Well you are already seeing Rua prove himself this year so if he goes to 1B and Gallo joins Mazara in the OF that makes Choo expendable. That would only be one young'un unless they deem Brinson to be ready.

I do think Brinson will eventually show this year that he is ready though.

 

[jta4437]

That's not bad...damn

the walks are still a problem and his power still hasn't really translated to in game results yet

 

[WastinSomeTime]

He'll get 3-4 at minimum.

Then that is too much. So if that is the case then I would rather take our chances.

 

[romeo212000]

That's not bad...damn

Just remember we got Hamels.

Btw, Nick Williams is doing decent at AAA too.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Elvis threw high to 1st three times tonight.

Thanks. Not bad, but catcher doesn't seem like at much of a problem at the moment.

He and Cordell will get their lumps this season in AAA I'm sure

I am sure they are...I will take Cole and Diekman and be happy though...I miss all those guys though

And Diekman. And those two along with Dyson were instrumental in us winning the division.
