AAA Sacramento River Cats were idle.

Thoughts on Dylan Davis? He's had a great 2016 campaign across 2 levels now, but may be old (turned 23 in June) for the level, and doesn't have much success in the past 2 years in the system. Right now, he's combining powder with contact & an excellent OBP - so it's left to wonder what his pedigree might project. Drafted in Round 3! in 2014.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, maybe I'm just a sucker for young power/contact/OBP outfielders in our lower minors. Love what we're seeing from Quinn, Reynolds and Brusa! I'm guessing at least two of the three get assigned to San Jose if they keep this up.
Davis has always been about power, but now he's brought his average up which makes for an interesting prospect. He has an outside chance to be a Mark Trumbo type hitter in MLB.
DeleteDavis' peripherals are trending in the right direction too as he has steadily brought his K% down from the high 20's to 19.1 since his promo to SJ.
DeleteIs he too old for the level, and hence hard to judge against the competition?
DeleteI always have trouble judging the "prospects" of prospects that are proceeding cleanly through the ranks, but are always old for their level.
23 is not all that old for high A. I think it's right about average for the league. Power hitters tend to develop late. I would not get too hung up on age vs level. It's an important factor in evaluating prospects but by no means the only factor to consider.
DeleteTy Blach has been pushed through the system fairly fast and has really blossomed after last year's so-so performance at Sacramento in just his 3rd professional year. Has he learned something?
ReplyDeleteCan he become LH starter #3 next year? Will he and the Horse battle for the #5? Or can he challenge the Shark?
BTW, all 3 Giant-Dodger series, if the current 5-man rotation continues, will start with our #5. There is one day off between now and the first series, the day before SF goes to LA August 23rd. Bochy won't -- doesn't? - mess with the rotation but if he did, the Dodgers would see Bumgarner and Moore in all three series. LA is worse against LHP, newbee Reddick is seriously worse.
With Blach up in September, watch out Dodgers!
Blach might have a chance to compete for the long relief/spot starter role next season. I don't see him cracking the 5 man rotation short of an injury.
DeleteInteresting thought on the rotation for the Dodgers series. In recent years, the Dodgers have gone out of their way to adjust their rotation so their best starters go against the Giants with some success. It sure would be nice to make them face to lefty starters.
