Don’t get the issue here...no position player has had a save from 1969 until last night with Wilkerson.
I will note that RBI is a bit of a different stat than the Save in that a position was specifically created/popularized for the Save around the time the stat was created.

You're forgetting the pitchers that were drafted in the DD regime. Hall, Rodriguez, Baumann, Lowther, Knight and now even Sedlock, who has seen his stock rise. Zach Pop may have seen the majors at the end of this year if not for the TJ surgery, and Kremer is looking like he's still a solid prospect.
Now, I will say that the new regime has given these guys the tools that they lacked, namely analytics. But DD and John Wasdin did a fantastic job in the 2017 and 2018 drafts in getting the pitching here.
Yeah sorry my post was 100% sarcastic.
On a serious note, some good outfield prospects and at least one good MI prospect to add to the pitching. DD had some solid drafts.

Did he?
Exactly. Pretty sure all the prospects worth getting excited about were brought in by Elias in his 7 months with the team.

I think “learning to win” is less important in baseball than in football or basketball, but I would certainly prefer players to get accustomed to a culture of winning as they develop.
As it pertains to this situation, I would almost rather the opposite of Diaz’s situation, have the opportunity to bring someone up that is on the cusp of promotion.

I'm judging by what I've seen from him, not his numbers. His fastball is not generating the swings and misses that made me like him more than others. Now a see a guy with a 91-92 MPH fastball, a good curve, and a well below average change.
The curve is a plus pitch, but I've seen him get barreled a lot more this year than I saw last year, especially the fastball. Maybe I just saw him really good last year, but I've been disappointed this year and I was higher on him than anyone else.A little out of my element here but the one time I saw him his fastball was sitting 92-94 and hit 95 a few times...assuming Bowie gun was right. His curve was great that night with 5-6 of 8 (I believe) K’s on it.
I’ll trust your judgement for the most part and understand one good start doesn’t make a pitcher but I came away impressed.

Still think he can realize #3 upside and become the rug that ties the room together.

Wait are you serious with those prices?? I obviously haven't been in a while but that is absurd. The Red Sox charge $8 for a beer. The Yankees charge $6.
I think both of those teams charge those prices for the small beers, like 8oz. Think I paid $12 for a beer last time I was in New York.

The second half surge is a yearly tradition. I’ve gotten wooed by it before, I need to see balls leaving the park with frequency. That has to be part of his game for him to profile, so until I see that.
I don’t mind moving him up though, Yahn is at third but really he needs to move around if he’s going to make a 40 man in the future.
Was pretty impressed with Yahn the two games I’ve been to this year. Pretty athletic guy out there with the swagger to match.

In addition to the poor game quality, I’ve had a pretty bad time at games this year. Rude staff, poor food quality. Been to 4 games and may not be back for more.

Markakis has excellent strike zone judgment. Only swings at 24.8% of pitches outside the zone, but also takes a lot of strikes (swings at 61.7% in the zone). When he swings, he hits the ball. In fact, his contact percentage outside the zone (80.5%) is better than Reynolds’ contact percentage inside the zone (76.1%); in the zone Markakis makes contact 92.0% of the time.
That 92% number is amazing. Easy to tell it’s high by watching him but that’s really incredible.

Rosters expand in September and go to 26 men next season. I don't expect to see Davis go anywhere anytime soon.
I think the team next year needs to show signs of growth, 65-70 wins. Bad performance shouldn’t be acceptable after this year, for no other reason than to set the tone. Hopefully Davis will be gone.

I’d like to see the AA pitchers that deserve it get moved to AAA and pitch well. Would indicate some kind of light at the end of the tunnel. Also either Tate or Harvey get some MLB BP time in September.

Yeah, it looks more like a Norfolk outfield of Hays, Mullins and Diaz to open the 2020 season.
I expect Díaz will be promoted mid season and compete for a job out of ST.

Heard on the radio that they are trying to get Hall to work on his weaknesses more. Has probably already been brought up and no clue if it’s true but I hope that’s the case.
Despite his command struggles still a pretty good year.

Quick release on the assist.

I think this is a bit of an overstatement. I like the kid, but his bat isn't 'great' yet.
Age adjusted I’d say it’s pretty close to great.

Could he learn second? He’s not very big and seems pretty agile.

Yup, Ozzie Albies hit 1 homer in his first 2 years in the minors before exploding for 6 at age 19, and last year at 21 - he hit 24 for Atlanta - figuring Albies improved at a remarkable rate and if Hall can be just 2 years behind Albies, we got something. At this point, I think we just want to see more doubles and triples from Hall - and we'll be very pleased, and next year hopefully see maybe 5 to 8 homers - along with those doubles and trips.
He’s got a pretty good chance at 5 homers this year and has already eclipsed his doubles total from last year in the same number of AB’s.

I don’t think they’ll promote Hall, even though he’s doing well.
Odds are you’re right, I’m just a big Hall fan boy.
I like the idea of promoting someone like him towards the end of the season so he can get a firm idea of what to work on in the offseason.

We will probably have four guys on that list at the end of the season: Rutschman, Rodriguez, Hall, and Mountcastle.
Diaz is on his way off. Hays will likely have graduated and even if he hasn’t may have too long a way to go to climb back on it.
Kremer could be a dark horse for the top 100 if he finishes strong at Bowie/Norfolk.
Whole half season left for both Díaz and Hays. Assuming he’s eligible I like Hays’ chances.
Adam Hall is my dark horse to sneak on with a decent showing in Frederick second half.

Tate also looked pretty good out of the bullpen. He gun had him at 97 on his 4 seamer and what looked like a two seamer at 93-94 and got a few ground balls on it. Off speed pitches were ineffective.
-
If the gun was right he was sitting 92-93 and hit 95 a few times. His curve (I believe?) seemed to get better as the night went on and he mixed it in to good effect the last two innings.

First time I’ve ever seen Kremer, this dude has major league flow if nothing else. Has allowed almost no solid contact through 6.
Dillon Tate, Evan Phillips up; Scott optioned, Means to IL

Excited to check Tate out. Has been ok out of the pen since the switch.
