Well you expect a team to test a newbie and his converting is indeed promising. I hope they weren’t drops – that’s scary, but not fielding a bouncer cleanly doesn’t surprise me or maybe an overthrow where he was adrenaline infused.

I hope it was nerves. At JC he was thrown onto the field for a championship team a couple weeks after signing his first pro contract. He had all of 3 games in the GCL to get calibrated. So I’m not surprised that he dropped a couple (or however he erred). But 3 outfield assists in his first 7 pro appearances is pretty amazing.

2 errors in the outfield in 7 games? That’s horrific. Let’s hope is was just a matter of him not being used to balls hit at him that hard……….

Weird Tilson stat (from the Baseball American 2012 Almanac): In 7 total games for JC and the GCL Cards, he was credited with 3 outfield assists. He also had 2 errors for JC, so there’s that. Still, he must have some kind of arm to throw out 3 guys in his first 7 pro games.

He needs to prove that on the field.

It’d be a closer race than most people would think between Yadi and Skip from what ive seen

What a terrible thing to say about a valued prospect. :-)

Except the throws left handed, so no move to the IF.
