Dodgers prospect Cody Bellinger promoted to AAA and promptly hits two HR today.

 

[RedCansLoom16]

Welp season is over. Salem Sox (Devers, Kopech, Basabe,) made the yoffs and so did the Lowell Spinners (Dalbec, Chatham etc) so i guess there's still that.

At least Kopech will get some more reps in this year. Hopefully he rebounds after that fucking debacle.

Yea I think Jason Groome will get one of the Lowell starts as well.

Fuck the Mets for giving Tebow some self entitled relevance again. I enjoyed when no one was talking about him.

Jesus, I think Kopech has made the AFL hot list every single week this year. @RedCansLoom16

5. Michael Kopech, rhp, Red Sox

image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/3ds_redsox85.jpg


Team: Surprise
Age: 20
Why He’s Here: 0-0, 0.00, 4 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 6 SO, 0 BB


The Scoop: The latest in a long line of hard-throwing Texans is continuing to show elite stuff in the AFL. Kopech, the 33rd overall pick in 2014, sits 97-99 mph and touches 101, with his 86-90 mph slider drawing whiffs one-third of the time. Oh, and batters have yet to record a hit on his 90-92 mph changeup, per Brooks Baseball. He was particularly unhittable in his most recent start, allowing one hit over four scoreless innings while striking out six. Kopech now has a 1.93 ERA with 18 strikeouts and one walk in 14 AFL innings. (KG)

It's awful. They traded away the vast majority of their prospects because they were all in on winning a WS. That's why they're shopping everyone now

Look at that, Tigers and Astros back to back... Stros system still looks decent in spite of the callups.

Also... "Astros high Class A affiliate for 2017-18 will be Carolina League Buies Creek Astros at Campbell University in Buies Creek, NC. Beginning in 2019, the Astros' high Class A club will move into a new ballpark in downtown Fayetteville, N.C."

Abreu I really liked. Think he'll end up a solid 3 starter and could even be a 2. He's probably 4 years away from the majors though. Guzman has potential too but I was never very excited about him honestly

Stros system is still pretty strong. Especially considering the trades and call ups like you mentioned. Need Daz Cameron to have a bounce back year
