As a whole no, but they have some individual players having pretty nice years. Whit, Mondy, Gordo, & Dozier have all been fun to watch so far. Soler seems to either strike out or hit a moon shot. O’Hearn is slowly coming around. So those guys are at least worth the price of admission.
The rest and the pitching staff are garbage, though.
Oh well. Top 3 pick, here we come . . . . . . again. [Reply]
Dayton Moore is so full of shit with his BS on why Nicky Lopez isn't up here. Apparently they plan on keeping Lopez in the minors for the better part of a decade like they did with Merrifield. Merrifield apparently can't physically handle the outfield full-time, so Lopez literally has no path to the majors on this team for the foreseeable future. [Reply]

112 AB, 0 hr, 47k. Read that again.
(By comparison when Hosmer was also 20 and at Wilmington, he hit .354 in 325 AB before being promoted to AA)
You can say the same thing for Matias and Melendez. Kyle Isbel is the only one hitting there and he's been out injured.
Who's the last high school or high school aged IFA other than Mondesi this team has developed? They should stay clear of high school players in the draft and just focus on college players. This organization cannot develop young raw talent. [Reply]

It couldn't be going much worse for the "next wave" of hitters. Hopefully the pitchers can continue what they're doing, but I have my doubts. Im betting one or 2 of them get moved for an MLB guy in the next year or 2. This dumb ass franchise needs to bring up Nicky Lopez though to see if he's the answer at 2B. If he is then that makes Whit much more expendable and trading Whit could bring back some decent talent. [Reply]
