Nice updates

I love the minor league updates. Jaso and Royster will be fine. Brignac will be a bust. Why no info on Heath Rollins at Vero Beach. He was outstanding last year and I think he’s the most underrated prospect the Rays have. He will be a good Major League pitcher.

Rollins

Rollins has strange numbers, In 24 innings he has allowed 6 walks, 0 home runs and gotten 29 Ks. His Ground Ball ratio is 2.46. Yet his ERA is 5.63 and he has given up 29 hits with a .290 BA against. He has started 4 and relieved once. Most of his Ks came in his first 3 outings, one of which garnered 10. He has had 3 in each of his last two games, along with 5 of his 6 BBs, during which he went 4 and 6 innings and game up 5 and 3 runs.

I disagree about Brignac. He hit better than he is given credit for last year, and while he has started slowly, I see no reason to lose confidence in him.

Incidentally, Talbot had his best start of the year tonight going 8 innings of shutout ball with 5 hits, 1 walk and 6 Ks. McGee on the other hand had one of his worst with 4 innings in which he allowed 8 hits, 7 runs and 1 walk although he did strike out 6.

Oh yes, and another Chuck Tiffany sighting as he doubled his IP this time to 2 innings witih 1 hit, 1 walk, 2 Ks and 0 runs.

I've been following too

and so far things have been a bit disappointing no? Some struggles at AA, which can be expected., and a number of your top prospects have been so-so so far. But it’s early. And what’s up with D. Jennings? When’s he due back? And is Tiffany working his way back to starting?

From my end, I’ve been reasonably pleased with the Yanks org performances, but most of the kids in the majors have had their struggles. Team just isn’t clicking yet, with a number of nagging and worse injuries. Just no flow. But hey, better than early last year, and they’ve only had 1 offday and some awful weather.
