Score another one for the Cinderella Kid
He’ll get promoted to Brevard real soon if he keeps doing that.
He's extremely quick and good.

Huntsville game
Mat Gamel has two triples and a HR; Angel Salome has three hits, including a double and a homer; LaPorta has a double, and Michael Brantley got on base three times (one walk).
Here’s the box score for the game so far.
He's extremely quick and good.

Gamel is now outslugging LaPorta, .606 to .602
He's extremely quick and good.

If only they could play defense... or weren't blocked...

Gamel already has five errors, which isn't great, but it's a lot better than his error rate last year.
He's extremely quick and good.

when you start on the far side of suck
you’re almost guaranteed to regress back to suck.
unless you are brent brewer.
Also, cheese.

It's surprising they draft this way
players who are bad defensively are not gritty.

I read one characterization of zduriencik
that he likes big power—lighttower power hitters and big power arms.
upside: prince, braun, maybe braddock?
downside: mark rogers, a system full of third basemen who don’t know where first base is.
Also, cheese.

Taylor Green is a fair third baseman
The Brewers definitely don’t go for “well-rounded” guys often, with LaPorta being the prime example of that. They saw the best power bat in the draft and took him way above where anyone else would have.
He's extremely quick and good.

I'm going to put that up in my office.

Maybe Don Money is helping
or is that me foolishly buying into the propaganda?
I remember one article that mentioned that his problem was throwing and not fielding. Shouldn’t that be correctable? There is Rickie though.

Maybe the field is better quality, too
Some of the lower-minors infields are pretty poor, aren’t they?

that's part of it,
but I think that field quality is vastly overstated. there are a couple of guys (chris constancio comes to mind) who talk about it nonstop. I’m hoping to do some work on minor league defense that will allow me do level-to-level translations and park factors and maybe isolate that sort of thing.
Also, cheese.
