[Uncle Siggy]

Eighteen year-old, Ronny Henriquez is off to a great start tonight for Hickory after 4 innings. 2 H, 0 W, 0 R, and 8 K

Some other info from Hickory: Hickory Crawdads’ Gonzalez welcomes top prospect status, eyes healthy 2019 after ‘learning season’

anyone else w/tv trouble

Includes more OF time for Choo.

6 key questions surrounding the Rangers

 

[Duane1952]

anyone else w/tv trouble

Yes. Signal going in and out.

 

[Duane1952]

That got out in hurry.

 

[Kelleyman]

At least some good MILB news

 

[saddles]

DDJ had no edge with the LHP. Forsythe is ahead of him.

Still think one of our position players will go in the IL. Wonder if Tocci will be brought up before DDJ.

Granite is hitting .302 with 6 SB.

That along with Sam Huff moving up and Henriquez continuing to improve.

 

[Duane1952]

Has Winn pitched in a minor league game yet.

Has Winn pitched in a minor league game yet.

Not yet. They held this HS pitchers that the drafted last June back until now. But, two of them already need TJ surgery.

 

[Duane1952]

Tocci was Mendozaing the last time I checked.

Tocci is hitting. 211 at the present time.

I have definitely been wrong about hunter pence so far

Well instructional league but no. Guess he is skipping Spokane, originally scheduled assignment

Really speaks volumes about Calhoun too. Pence really getting it done but without him and DDJ down there really could be room for him. Still hope he gets a shot

 

[Kelleyman]

That was a nasty pitch and SO Minor threw

 

[jta4437]

Honestly would rather primarily see Santana in CF, with Gallo in LF...

But I can live with Gallo i'n CF

He’s been a beast lately.

Honestly Calhoun doesn't do it for me, but based on where this team is Calhoun makes more sense, but maybe pence gets dealt to a contender at some point and we could reel in a couple prospects, which also makes sense

 

[Nightcrawler]

I’m not as high on Guzman as the rest of this board. I don’t think his bat fits his position yet.

We haven’t produced a great first baseman since Mark teixera. We used to be so spoiled at the position with guys like palmeiro, Clark, and Teixera.

Would like to actually see one of those prospect trades work out for us. Been awhile.
