Cody is in Lakeland and is seeing the workouts up close. He said Jackson's new curve is crazy. He said his stuff is elite and he's above where Skubal was in the same place in his development. I hope his pitching session shows up on youtube. Would love to see that. Cody isn't a homer. He stays objective imho. He believes he is so good, Harris and AJ will have to bring him up with the team out of ST. Imagine the front end of the rotation if guys can stay healthy! Expand If you have a great FB (and Jobe is supposed to) and you can command a 12-6 curve ( which supposedly is what he is doing now), that's a great base combination because it works against batters of either hand. Whatever you throw beyond those two is gravy. 1 Quote

IdahoBert Posted February 21 Posted February 21 That BA YouTube video was pretty helpful, for me at least. I feel like a sub-genius in terms of these players fitting into the mix in the next couple years. Quote
Tiger337 Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Those two are really good. They made me think about getting a BA subscription. 1 Quote

I don’t usually care about the pipeline because in all honesty it hasn’t been that much of a “pipeline“ over the years. I’m pretty much a Blue Plate Special guy, wondering what’s for dinner today exclusively, and I don’t tend to think too much about what’s for dinner in a couple years. But they gave me hope that the diner could be pretty fun in the future. Quote
Arlington Posted February 21 Posted February 21 I'm starting to get confused on what is the front end and what is the back end of this rotation. It could all flip very easily. TG for Skubal to anchor it all. Quote

Arlington Posted March 11 Posted March 11 (edited) FAngraphs just posted their prospect list. They list 39 prospects which is among the deepest so far. (35+ ratings or higher) Take that back. Almost all the clubs reviewed so far have more 35+ ratings. Edited March 11 by Arlington Quote

Tigeraholic1 Posted March 24 Posted March 24 When will Minor leagues rosters be released? I wonder were McGonigle and Clark will land. Quote

Expand Since the two were promoted to WestMI just at the end of the season - that would be the logical place for them to pick it up. McGonigle may be a little ahead of Clark as a hitter - better walk rate, lower K's - I wouldn't be surprised to se him advance a little quicker than Clark. Quote

Expand Not to really argue, but they both were promoted July 21. So they spent 1/3 of the season there (even though McGonigle only played 14 games due to injury while Clark played 34). Clark did hit much better in his time there than McGonigle. I could see them both starting there and moving quickly to AA. I could also see both of them being pushed to Erie to start. I wouldn't be shocked to see both end up with a cup of coffee at Toledo by the end of the season. I do trust this staffs development, so wherever they start them, I'm good. Quote

Seems like a reasonable concept. Quote

Seems like a reasonable concept. Expand It does. I just wouldn’t be totally surprised if they thought 1/3 of the season was enough at WM. I doubt it, but it wouldn’t shock me. I think it’s most likely the ideal plan is a month/45 days in WM and the rest of season in Erie with a week or 2 in Toledo (unless Erie is in the playoffs). With 2026 spent in Toledo with late season call up (to retain rookie status). Quote
Edman85 Posted March 28 Posted March 28 I forget who asked when we get the rosters... usually opening day or the day before. We should get Toledo's today. 28 players, usually 13 position players and 15 pitchers. Quote
