The On the Verge guys interviewed Anthony Villa this week: 

It’s a good interview and here’s a few tidbits: 

- Villa singled out Braylin Tavera and Luis De Leon as international prospects to watch this year.

- Asked to single out someone from the 2023 draft class, he said beyond the top names we should look for Teddy Sharkey.

- He was very high on Bradfield and said he would be a “great player.”

- Asked who we should watch who haven’t gotten as much attention, he said on the international side Tomas Sosa, commenting “he thinks he’s Ken Griffey, Jr.”   He also singled out Mathew  Etzel.

- Villa praised the new Dominican facility and detailed a number of ways in which it’s superior to the prior facility.

Worth a listen.

I would guess this individual is the same Anthony Villa who played on the St. Mary's Gaels with Corbin Burnes and Tony Gonsolin in 2016.

The hosts mentioned him playing, and on the YouTube with video, Villa looks like he's about Corbin Burnes' age.

 

Yes, in his press conference, Corbin referenced having played in college with one of the Orioles’ minor league hitting coordinators.

Here is a link to a video of a 2016 press conference with Corbin and Villa.

Any relation to Pancho?

      Now overall I notice 29 K's in 17 innings. That ratio of 1.7 is top of the line for a starter!

      Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.

      SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.

      Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.

      Is it time to upgrade over Urias and McCann?

      By Hallas · Posted

      McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.

      I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it.

      Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.
