We start working our way through the top prospect list profiling each prospect starting with the Dominican Dandies then the Honorable Mentions then the Top 50 list starting at #50 and ending with #1 hopefully sometime around the start of Spring Training. We are getting late start and counting the DD's and HM's there are a lot of names. We'll do 5 at at time and my continue that into the bottom 20 or so of the top 50 list. I don't have much info on a lot of the complex players other than general impressions from basic bios and stat lines.
Brayan Cabello RHP. DOB: 12/6/2003. 6'0", 155 lbs. 3-1, 6.27, 33 IP, 10.36 K/9, 3.27 BB/9, GB/FB= 1.74. FIP= 3.83, xFIP= 3.57. 20 yo's who have spent 3 years in the DSL are usually not prospects, but secondary stats perhaps worth a look in the Arizona Complex.
Jorge Martinez RHP. DOB: 11/6/2001. 6'0", 161 lbs. 3-1, 1.69, 32 IP, 10.41 K/9, 3.09 BB/9. 22 yo who have spend 3 seasons in the DSL are even less likely to be prospects than 20 yo but again, the stat line is intriguing.
Jose Gonzalez RHP. DOB: 6/15/2002. 6'1", 180 lbs. 3-1, 4.35, 41.1 IP, 8.71 K/9, 4.14 BB/9, GB/FB= 1.96. Another 3 year DSL vet.
Randry Deleon RHP. DOB: 7/21/2005. 6'4", 201 lbs. 0-4, 8.51, 30.2 IP, 10.86 K/9, 6.75 BB/9. The line is admittedly not that encouraging but age and size working in his favor.
Jose Rengel LHP. DOB; 9/8/2005. 6'0", 168 lbs. 2-2, 4.42, 38.2 IP, 8.84 K/9, 2.79 BB/9, GB/FB= 1.65. Young lefty on the small side but again age working in his favor.
OK, before you start throwing rotten tomatoes, the Dominican Dandy hitting prospects are much more compelling than the pitchers. Have patience!
I wonder if the contraction of the minor leagues makes extended Dominican time less of a red flag. The complexes are pretty red zoned. I'm not part of player conversations, but I was in a meeting for another team over housing and coaching allocation being maxed out at the complex
ReplyDeleteThere does seem to be a bit of a trend for older DSL Players to at least make it out into stateside full season leagues.
