Yes. The year was 2018. 

Well, you’ll have to find it for me.   I don’t think Sisco’s ever going to be a big power hitter, but I don’t remember ever saying he couldn’t hit homers.

Yes, I believe you said his upside was 10-12 in a heated debate over his power potential. I did not mean to offend the Frobs scouting prowess, but I could see a 13 HR season if he gets the ABs.

Well they're juicing the balls now, so that should help.   ;)

He didn’t hit that great in 2017 in AAA.    He didn’t hit anywhere last year.   He didn’t hit at all in his first 11 games in AAA this year.    It’s not unreasonable to want to see more than a hot two weeks before calling him back to the majors.    I’m excited he’s heating up but don’t mind if we just let him succeed in AAA for a while.   

This. I happy to see the power surge, the walks, and.the lack of strikeouts, but I'd also like to see it over a couple of months before thinking about giving him a big league shot again, especially with his inferior defense compared with Wynns and Severino.

Fun fact:

Chance has NEVER hit more than 7 HR so far in any full minor league season. 

Up to 5 so far this year.............so that's kinda cool.

It is a fun fact, but the juiced balls are certainly part of the equation here. I'm more impressed with the lack of Ks and amount of walks. His K rate at AAA and in the majors was my biggest concern over his long term offensive potential.

Yeah I can't argue with that.  I'm sure he's benefiting from the new balls being used in the minors like everyone else is.

You mean the 33 career minor league homers in 518 games doesn't scream power hitter to you!!?? :)

 

I'm very happy to see Chance hitting well and hope he continues to scorch the ball.

This, but I have to admit that in the back of my mind I’m hoping the new regime has identified something that has helped him re-tap his offensive potential. That would be awesome.

Well, he was absolutely awful to start the season. They might have made an adjustment that has caused the recent hot streak, combined with the new baseballs.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Warehouse · Posted

      My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By waroriole · Posted

      Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.

      I agree…just not sure the Os will feel that way.

      By waroriole · Posted

      Yeah I can see Rivera at DH. That’s probably a better choice than Kjerstad against Skubal. I’d definitely go with Mullins and Cowser over Slater. Slater has been really bad against LH this year. Only a .543 OPS. He’s actually worse than Cowser against LH and slightly better than Mullins.

      Not that it matters, but for some reason I took a lot of heat for suggesting mid season that Basallo would end up #1. It’s all good. We don’t have to agree 100% on everything.

      I don’t think he’s gonna be a part of any playoff roster, but kudos for him to rehab all the way back just to be an option for us if needed.  Also, hopefully now he’s shaken the injury and can have a normal offseason and normal fall instructs.  He’s a dude that if he could just be another Dean Kremer, would be huge for this org.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      My guess is vs Skubal or Ragans, the Os will go with an IF of Gunnar, Westy, Mounty and Urias.  Rivera will DH. Santander starts in RF. Obviously one of Cowser or Mullins starts but do both of them start?  Would they start Slater? Lefties hit Ragans much better than righties do this year. Everyone is terrible vs Skubal although lefties are worse.
