IF you look at his total numbers, his slash line looks so off.

Most habitually undervalued prospect in our system.  He's an XBH machine and the only legitimate leadoff prospect on the farm.  

I'd like to see him get that OBP up over .340 this season.  Then I think he could be a player to get excited about.

I'd bat Sisco leadoff.

In the minors? I wouldn't.  Is he going to pick up some extra skill by batting leadoff in the minors?  I hope he starts learning to turn on the ball and become more of a run producer.  I think that mindset is better served lower in the order.

I meant in the majors.

He slashed .217/.282/.350/.632 in 132 PAs against lefties last year and .181/.272/.278/.549 against them in Aberdeen the year before so he's really a platoon guy despite switch hitting. His 37 BB to 101 K ratio in 559 PAs last year in Delmarva might not be a red flag, but it's an orange one. He has some defensive value and speed, so he's definitely a prospect, but more of the future 4th outfielder type than everyday guy. 

The scouts I've talked to about him are mixed on him. He's defiantly caught the eye of Buck, and for a 13th round pick, he's a great selection at that point of the draft. It will be interesting to see if they jump him to Bowie and if he does, how he handles the jump. Frederick's outfield is going to be crowded with Hays, Mullens, Gassaway needing to play along with the fact that former first round pick Josh Hart will be in the mix as well and possibly even Yermin Mercedes though he will probably go to first.

Maybe he should abandon hitting right handed?  He needs to improve the K/BB ratio for sure.  

I just think if he was a bigger guy and drafted higher he would be getting a lot more attention/respect as a prospect.  It seems like he's going to be able to carry a decent slugging percentage to the higher levels. Plenty of doubles and triples in addition to the home runs, so maybe we can sacrifice the BA/OBP a little bit for those other skills.  A (righty hitting) platoon center fielder still has plenty of value.  Maybe he is platooning there with Rickard in 2019.

Something to keep on eye on but I certainly wouldn't put the platoon label on him this early.

Well, let's put it this way, if he was putting up that slash line overall, we wouldn't be talking about him. I also heard his swing is not very good from the right side.

He should abandon it then.  

You don't see too many switch hitters that throw left handed (which I assume is also his natural side at the plate). I can't think of any off-hand.

      Basallo for Miller y/n?

      By frankwhite · Posted

      I think we can get that help and win a world series without trading Basallo for it. Just because we don't consider it a problem now in May, doesn't mean it won't be.

      Yeah, I'd put Hays' shot of throwing him out from that distance at about 80%+. He was completely dead to rights on a decent throw, it's a shame he chucked it 100 feet away. Hopefully, it's something he can get better at. His throws to third seem okay, but his throws to home are pretty brutal.

      No doubt Westburg! It looks to me that Mayo’s place on this team next season will be in RF/DH.

      Defense is important to me. I remember the excruciating development of Mountcastle, where some people insisted his defense was fine, even though he looked awful everywhere but first, and that’s where he ended up. I don’t want the same thing with Mayo or anyone else, for that matter, so sure, I’d trade Mayo(btw, Would you rather have Mayo or Westburg at 3B?) The main point is that Miller is wasted on the As and they aren’t being responsible owners unless they turn him into as much Future Asset as possible. Most of the teams that Can trade for him don’t need him.

      Next year’s problems/dilemmas will come when they arrive. And we can address those things when the appropriate time comes. This season we are playing for a World Series and only have one weak spot on the team… high leverage, weapon at the back of the pen (closer).

      Exactly, the issue is not arm strength it's accuracy which was discussed in another thread-it's a problem.  I think Cowser has looked much better in the field this year and could be the long term answer in LF, he's so fluid for his size, I think the routes will improve but the arm.....When he is struggling at the plate it seems to affects his confidence/defense.  He's also struggling to advance runners.

      Oh okay, you mentioned back-to-back World Series. I think we could add other pitchers not named Miller that could help, and it wouldn't have to include Basallo. Burnes will more than likely not be returning. Means? Wells and Irvin? This isn't what we need right now? okay, so next year? Again, I feel using those type of players in a trade would be better using it for a starter.
