The Gulf Coast League is a loosely knit group of teams that play in Florida in what amounts to basically a scrimmage-like atmosphere. We do not even cover the league in the DFRs, but that does not mean we should ignore it completely, especially with a glut of recent draftees making their debuts down there. Let’s highlight a few of the players since they have played about 20 games so far.
Archive for the “GCL Cardinals” Category5 Players in Short Season Baseball To WatchPosted on June 24th, 2011 by azruavatar in 2011 MLB Draft, Batavia, GCL Cardinals, Johnson City, tags: Hector Hernandez, Lance Jefferies, Nicholas Martini, Sam Tuivailala, tyrell jenkinsShort season baseball is full of new draftees, very young players and players coming up through Latin America. It’s an odd mix of older, often low upside players, and very young, very raw high upside players. The level of competition in a league is highly inconsistent from year to year (and from game to game for that matter). We recap two of the Cardinals’ short season affiliates in Batavia and Johnson City but have not typically covered the Gulf Coast, Venezuelan or Domincan Leagues with any degree of regularity. If you want to take at the short season statistics from time to time, make sure and check in on these 5 players (in no particular order). This is the third of the bi-weekly GCL updates. Keep in mind that these stats are to be ingested with a grain of salt as the GCL is the most informal of all American minor leagues. So, with that in mind, I’ll check in on three “names” on the GCL roster, three players who have played well and three players who have played not so well. The GCL Cardinals have gone 16-19 so far on the year, they are in 3rd place in the GCL “East” Division. This is the second of the bi-weekly GCL updates. Keep in mind that these stats are to be ingested with a grain of salt as the GCL is the most informal of all American minor leagues. So, with that in mind, I’ll check in on three “names” on the GCL roster, three players who have played well and three players who have played not so well. The GCL Cardinals have gone 10-13 so far on the year, they are in 4th place in the GCL “East” Division. This is the first of the bi-weekly GCL updates. Keep in mind that these stats are to be ingested with a grain of salt as the GCL is the most informal of all minor leagues and there is a sample-size warning with all these numbers. So, with that in mind, I’ll check in on three “names” on the GCL roster, three players who have played well and three players who have played not so well. The GCL Cardinals have gone 4-6 so far on the year, they are in 4th place in the GCL “East” Division. (I’ve scheduled this to be published, so apologies if anything happened in yesterday’s game to change these numbers.) All the action after the fold. |
