Beavers or Stowers?  Better future…

I know we all love to throw Stowers into trades like a ham sandwich, but remember this is the dude that as a “prospect” won co milb Oriole MVP with Adley. Stowers checked all the boxes coming up.

Stowers would be ranked above Beavers if he were eligible. Stowers has some swing issues for sure and will never be a high average guy because of his swing and miss, but he can hit if given every day opportunities.

Good info.

This is why I think we hang onto Stowers and Norby. They’re role players. Other teams know they’re role players. Teams that are rebuilding don’t need role players. They need to try and hit on everyday players. 

So Stowers and Norby are worth a lot more to us than they would bring back in a trade. I see them as 1-1 replacements for.

Santa - Stowers(not the starting gig, the roster spot)

Hays - Norby 

Meaning, I think Beavers is more likely to go in a trade.

Stowers and Norby are not core players but they are everyday type guys.

Beavers by month:

April: .886
May: .821
June: .599

Hopefully he turns it up in July. I feel like a lot of our position prospects find a way to turn it up at the end of the year. Let's see. 

Beavers has continued his nosedive so far in July:  .571 OPS at the break.  I’m not sure what’s going on here.

.289 BABIP this year.  It was .410 in Bowie last year.

If it weren't for bad luck, he'd have none at all

Beavers with quite the “pick me!” game tonight, with 2 HRs and 2 BBs and 2 SBs. Showing off the whole offensive toolkit this evening for any suitors who might have a clearer path to the bigs than we can offer.

I'm not a big fan of Stowers and I think Norby should be traded because his position is blocked (unless Kjerstad is traded), but Stowers and Norby might be the Mariners best 2 hitters if the O's and Mariners had a trade.  Mariners are probably too stupid to realize that.

Why is Spencer Jones rated so much higher than Beavers?  Beavers has a slightly higher stat line plus his strikeout line is way lower than Jones’ 37%.  Jones was untouchable at the deadline.

Good Info.  Gotta love his .365 OBP in 580 PA in AA over the last two seasons.

I think Beavers was drafted as a project at the plate. I do not think Elias minds having players like Beavers MLB ready by age 24-25. You then control them through the majority of their prime years.

It seems Beavers has done the reverse of Cowser in his development. Cowser had a great hit tool as a draft prospect, but questionable power - he’s now got great power and just the hit tool holding him back.

Beavers was billed as having great power potential, but he really hasn’t tapped into that yet as a pro. It’s hard to see him as a starting corner OF without that, even with good defense. But his K/BB rates have consistently been quite good, it doesn’t seem like his swing mechanics are holding him back in that regard.
