RandyMarsh Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 Jobe starting in the regular season finale for the Seawolves on Sunday. Don't know how the AA playoffs work but Erie is in them so he may pitch there as well. Either way I wouldn't be shocked if he pitched in AFL this year since he hasn't thrown that many innings. 1 Quote

What's the prevailing opinion of the group? Expand Question answered 😎 Hopefully at least 2 starts at Erie coming up, regular season and playoffs. Looking forward to seeing the K/BB #'s continue 😀 Quote

It's an good question when the clock runs out on the ability to improve as a fielder. Some hitters may still improve up to their middle 20's, I suspect on average your ceiling as a fielder hardens sooner than that, but I don't know of any real data/research about it. Quote
RatkoVarda Posted September 14, 2023 Posted September 14, 2023 JJ has 3 errors in 134 career games; he's 22; 23 in Oct; so possible he will get at least a brief look in the majors at 23 Quote
RandyMarsh Posted September 14, 2023 Posted September 14, 2023 It sucks that we already have a statue at first cause if Jung is reliable with balls that are hit in his range but just doesnt have the ability to get to balls out of his immediate vicinity than a better 1B may beable to cover for some of those issues but with Tork that obviously wouldn't be the case.

Shinzaki Posted September 14, 2023 Posted September 14, 2023 So maybe he's Jeff Kent...not a great fielder, but a good hitter 3 Quote

The difference between MLB and MILB fielding looks as big as the difference between MLB and MILB hitting. Quote

casimir Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 Going to Mud Hens’ home closer today. I’ll have 2023 Opening Day and 2023 (home) Closing Day on the resume. I’ve never book ended a season like that. Still doesn’t seem like it should be September, but here we are. Quote
