Southern League FTW!!

Vogelbach is ridiculous. Saw him in Everett and that fatty murders the ball.

here is a Nick Franklin article. hes really making noise and is knocking on the big league door. i dont think he breaks camp unless ackley or ryan go down but its hard to imagine as long as he is healthy it will be a matter of time before he starts getting some big league ABs. Also, his trade value has got to be on the rise.

One of the other points is transitioning from ss to 2b. the funny thing is i saw this article retweeted by dustin ackley, who should feel a fire burning under him.

obviously havent seen him much, but he looks about 15yrs old and like he really needs to fill out, but his stroke is will clarkesque, like hes born to hit. it didnt say anything about how hes doing from the right but in this clip he has a classic LH stroke, ball jumps off his bat with projected + power for a middle IF. i wonder what the power will look like when/if he bulks up. will be very interesting to see if he stays in the system.

GMZ has a TOUGH job this winter.

[Seattle4Ever]

Dustin Ackley doesn't have a Twitter, lol. It was probably a novelty account or whatever.

[FWBrodie]

AFL championship game on MLBN right now. Zunino is off to a hot start.

[jej]

Mayo just said Paxton might end up as a reliever. I've heard that another time too. I don't understand why they think that.

[FWBrodie]

Because he's had control issues and hasn't developed a quality third pitch yet. It's BS, but that's how prospect speak goes.

[FWBrodie]

Carson Smith is legit.

[FWBrodie]

Peoria's closer is, and get this, Kevin Quackenbush."

[Rain City]

^ LOL

zunino sure looked good today, stellar in AFL.

billy hamilton is officially the fastest guy ive ever seen on a baseball field. he leads off the game with a hit in into the gap, nobody misplays, a standup double for 50% of MLB players... he not only had a standup triple but rounds 3rd base and looked home.

his speed tool will make him a MVP candidate at some point, it has that much impact IMO.
