yep. too late to convert him to OF I assume. I remember when he was signed, some observed that he might have been as high as a 2nd round pick as OF and could try that position if failed as pitcher.Trey Ball, what a waste.
He's a lefty, not only that but a lefty we've got money in. Which means he gets about a million and a half more chances before he's declared a bust. That's how it works.Prospects fail. Sucks, but them's the breaks.
SoxProspects write up on his 7 IP, 7 K outing the other day asks the same question: http://news.soxprospects.com/2017/07/scouting-scratch-trey-ball.htmlWhen do you put him in the pen and drop his arm slot?
Did you see the radar guns on Darwinzon?Went to the Greenville Drive game is Greensboro last night. Darwinzon Hernandez was great - 5 IP, 2 ht, 0 runs, 1 walk, 5 Ks, 78 pitches (52 strikes).
Shortstop Santiago Espinal had a good night and one great inning. In the bottom of the 5th, with a runner on third on a one-out triple, Espinal made a nice pick on a short-hop grounder and threw a perfect strike home to cut down the run. On the next batter, he made a nice running catch on a flare into short left. Then he led off the top of the 6th with a double to the wall in left-center. He made several other good plays at short.
Bobby Dalbec blasted a no-doubt homer to left in his last at-bat; the previous three he struck out.
Ryan Scott looked good, going 2-3 with 2 doubles and a HBP.
I checked a few times. High 80s-low 90s. They were in that range for all the pitchers. Maybe a a slow gun?Did you see the radar guns on Darwinzon?
Someone must have finally given a live chicken to Dalbec.Dalbec took a break from striking out to hit a homer tonight.
Trey Ball is in the midst of another shitty start.
If there is any silver lining, Dalbec has 3 HRs in his last 8 games. He had 2 the previous 39. Of course he's struck out in 17 of his 32 PA during that time. .172/.226/.483.Dalbec took a break from striking out to hit a homer tonight.

I'm starting to think it would be a huge bummer to trade Chavis. It's not like he's old for the league by any meansOwens with a mixed line. 5ip, 3h, 1er, 3bb/5k. 97 pitches, 53 strikes.
Chavis is currently 1/1 with 2bb. That's 5 walks in the last 2 games.
He's about 2 years younger than the average AA player, in fact.I'm starting to think it would be a huge bummer to trade Chavis. It's not like he's old for the league by any means
Do we have any updated scouting reports on Beeks? His year has been extremely impressive and the stuff certainly isn't fringe.Bad outing for Shawaryn--2 2/3 IP, 6 H, 5 ER, 4 BB, 3 K
Good outing for Beeks--6 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 8 K
That's two wild outings in a row for himGroome is probably done for the night. Pretty wild 5.0ip, 4h, 5er, 3bb/6k, 1 HRA. 85 pitches, 50 strikes. His teammates are currently getting no hit and have only reach based once by way of HBP thru 4.
