Watched some of the Memphis game… had to turn it off. Ottavino gave up a HR to a guy in the first who now has 33 for the year. His second inning consisted of a walk a 3b, and 2 error by T. Greene on virtually the SAME play.
schneider had a good outing until his last inning in which basically every hit was on the ground. Before that inning he had 2ks through 5 innings with i thnk every out a groundball. wasnt as bad as it seems. way to go kozma for homers in back to back games!
Brown is player of the week in the Texas League.
is there ANYONE who thinks memphis is going to the playoffs? i want them to badly… i just think the starters are far, far too erratic to have a winning record over the next week… it’s going to rely on iowa and nashville losing.
Is it true that we find out the PTBNL in the Duncan/Lugo deal tomorrow (the first)?
Thought I read that as the date when the trade went down.
Would it be worth trading Shumaker for pitching prospects and going with a combo of Lugo, Ryan and Tyler Greene in the middle infield? We would have Descalo as a back up and possible DeRosa to play second if need be. All three guys can play SS so that shouldn’t be a problem.
Obviously (or not so much) this is a move for the offseason after we win the WS =)
@themop10. Lugo should have substantial trade value during the offseason (more than Skip). Given that we will only be using him in a backup role, perhaps trading Lugo brings more value to the team.
Skip only has value if you find a team that ignores his defensive shortcomings as much as TLR does (doubtful). I doubt Lugo has enough value for a GM to be willing to admit he made a mistake in not trading for him on the cheap as the Cards did and doesn’t care about his declining range (again, doubtful).
I’m with carioca on this one. Don’t really see other teams placing value in Schu or Lugo … at least not enough to part with anything substantial.
Skip’s greatest value to another team would be as a fourth outfielder and Lugo is an aging back-up middle infielder. What would you give up for either of them?
Agreed. I suppose we can assume that Schu’s defense at 2b will improve maybe to the point that his offense makes him a real plus. Lugo is virtually free to the Cardinals, or any other team, for next year. Unfortunately that price tag may represent most of his value.
I’ve been searching for more information on Daniel Calhoun, particularly a scouting report, but cannot find anything. Can anyone else help? Thanks in advance.
This is all I have: 6’2″/6″3″ 205-220 lbs. Drafted as a Junior. Red-shirted 2007 for academic reasons. Throws FB, CB, CH, SL. No known velocities. Since 2008 at Murray St and Batavia, he has a cumulative FIP of 2.62 and a K/BB of 7.04 matched by a 2.25 FIP and 6.33 K/BB at Batavia (See accumulated stats in google doc: http://tiny.cc/0J3dW ). I’d really like to know why he went in the 29th round. Does he throw 80 mph or have horrible mechanics or is Murray St. just a bad school? I’m just plain confused.
I’d never understood folks who had favorite prospects until now.
If Calhoun had a very strong arm, the scouts would find him at a higher round than 29. But this does not mean he is without a chance or cannot play well in the minors. Trey Hearne was a late 20s round and has done well at AA and even in a few starts at Memphis. Luke Gregerson too. Murray State is an ok level of competition. Calhoun has good size, throws left. The Cards scour colleges to unearth guys who do not need to spend years in extended spring training. Calhoun seems a good pick.
I agree that Calhoun appears to be a good pick (and he was just named Minor League Pitcher of the Month). There has to be a red flag or two for him to have slipped unceremoniously to the 29th. I’d just like to know what they are and how to reconcile them with the numbers he’s putting up.
