Hernandez turned 23 today.

So tell me guys, is this kid for real or what?

His K rate is over 11...His command rate is great. His BB rate is a little high, as his HR rate.

His age is probably slightly over the average in AA but if it is over, its close.

His K rate has always been very good...His numbers suggest he may be the real deal but the excitement isn't surrounding him as much as other prospects...So, what gives?

Tony??

He's improved his pitching from the stretch this year and has stayed away from that meltdown outings he;s been known for. I was hoping to see him tonight but couldn't make it.

I said he had to prove he could get Double-A hitters outs before he would shoot up the prospect chart and he's done just that. If he keeps this up, that prospect love he's been missing out on will start pouring in.

So this part I don't understand. David is currently the 4th youngest player on Bowie's roster and I know that there is a handful of 22yr olds playing in the majors, but does that make him old. I know there was a thread on the average age of minor leaguers last year and I thought the ave. age was around 23 so basically David is still ahead of the game, sort of:confused:.

Looks like we might have a sleeper on our hands.

Man, the competition for the rotation in Baltimore is going to be THICK soon.

I never ever thought we'd have so many arms in our minors. It seems like they all came out of nowhere, too.

I can't wait to see Tony's list. When are you going to come out with that, Tony?

Talked to David and he said that the first guy who hit the HR, hit a good pitch, which was a fastball, low at the knees and on the outside corner, so another words he hit a good pitch and the other guy, he just served it up!!:eek::(:mwahaha:. Also like the fact that he didn't walk anybody today.:clap3:

The avg age in 'AA' is more like 26, but that's inflated by all the minor league veterans. See Julio Manon (34), Brian Peterson (29), Jeff Nettles (29). I guess you could describe Hernandez' age:level as neutral for a legit prospect (so it's a non-factor for now, but he's not on pace to be in the majors at 22).

No, since he is already 23.

Missing bats huh? Do they keep this stat for MiLers?

Groundball pitcher?

By misses bats, I'm sure Frobby means he strikes guys out. I don't think we can find a stat that says he gets a lot of swings and misses...somebody that has watched him could probably tell us that.

However, he is an EXTREME fly ball pitcher...in fact, I think he is at a point right now where he couldn't go any lower. His GB% is 26%, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but he is definitely going to give up his fair share of HRs.

Like you said, it might be a bad thing, as long as they are solo HR's;)

      Are we done?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I understand the importance of team chemistry. Not sure I understand at all the reference to the Yankees. Their chemistry appears to be fine from what I can tell. Maybe you have some inside info there? Our chemistry based on recent media revelations and Hays’ parting shot does not appear to be as good as you are stating. Furthermore, even if our chemistry is superb, the problem is that “chemistry” is not very effective on the mound. Our pitching has been horrible (near the bottom of the league) for over a month now (since Bradish’s injury). It does not appear that team chemistry has the ability to fix that.

      Grade the Hays for Dominguez/Pache trade

      They needed the 40 man spot as well.  They are guessing Nittoli makes it through waivers.

      Organizational Turmoil?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      Many major league players don’t make a top 100 prospect list. Stowers has a .797 OPS. What else does he need to do? We’ve picked up a kid from the Phillies who has proven over 3 or 4 seasons that he’s not a MLB hitter and can’t be sent down. It was a stupid pick up…. Get the reliever and a A ball player.

      Hays traded to Phillies

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Marsh can flex to CF like Cowser.     I hope Hays gets a clean look at returning to closer to an everyday role. Roch on the pregame show went to the place of wondering aloud if Hays' agent asked for a trade.    Ulitmately whether Dombrowski tenders Hays or not, Austin can use playing time to establish his place in the 2025 market, or how high the Bid/Ask will be for Arb. A few minutes later, Melanie featured that  Mullins and Hays had picked up a charitable effort Gibson did last year, an organization having an event this weekend Cedric will now have to do alone.

      Out of all our prospects, you valued Etzel the most?

      I think you have to be careful with a big trade like that. The reason why we are so good now has a lot to do with team chemistry. Splitting up all these talented teammates will turn you into the Yankees if you’re not careful- not knowing if they will gel as a team. You can’t put a price on the chemistry many of these players have built up over the years.

      Clubhouse issues?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      Norby looks fine to me so far…. Tripping appeared to be nerves to me and I’m willing to give him a pass. Kjerstad needs to be grommet at 1B or just DH imo. Maybe hidden in RF…but playing him in LF here is beyond stupid. Even before last night I’ve said several times that he just looks shaky.
