The Moesquito!

[Frobby]

I don’t know if Kirvin Moesquit is nicknamed the Moesquito, but he should be.    He’s 5’8”, 165 pounds and a pest on the bases.   Tonight he got 4 hits and stole 4 bases (2B three times and 3B once).     Should be a fun guy to follow at Delmarva.

He’s a fun guy to watch and a very good org player. I wish he was a prospect but he’s like a 30 power guy who doesn’t even hit many doubles or triples. Pure slap hitter, he’d have to be a sub 10% k rate guy for that to profile at 2B even with his speed and defense.

He is more active on Twitter than Jones is, my lord. He retweets everything he sees.

That’s OK, some guys are fun even if they’re not prospects.    The Moesquito looks like one of those. And who needs doubles if you steal 2B every time you’re on first?

How’s his defense, BTW?

It's good, I haven't seen him enough to really put a grade on it, but I'd be comfortable saying it's MLB quality 2B defense. I agree, players don't have to be prospects to be fun and I like Moesquit.

I wonder if there is any analytic that would convert SB -> 2B and CS -> (H)

Last year's Aberdeen team was fun to watch.  Glad to see those guys moving through the system.  Will be interesting to see how BB, TJ and Craport do at Delmarva.  Ryan Ripken is also playing with this group again.

I will have to professionally disagree. His defense is well below average. He has poor hands and a below average arm that has accuracy issues. His range is pretty decent due to his foot speed but there were times last year at Aberdeen where he was brutal.

You've probably seen him more than me, I saw the below average to fringe arm but in my views he showed smooth hands and plus range. Like I said, I haven't seen him enough to put a grade on it, I have an org player grade on him so mostly I've only watched him as a byproduct of watching the game rather than the focus.

We agree on the org guy grade no doubt. Still, nice little org guy to have around.

The Moesquito went 3 for 4 with a homer today, and stole two bases. The “buzz” about him is building!       Now hitting .423.

He matches his career home run total in one game!

Tapping into early season power.

Ok, so I take back my "tapping into power" joke...
