It used to be MLB players weren't allowed, but now it's allowed, particularly pitchers you may want to get some innings to help build up.

Personally I would hope Wentz does not go. I think it’s to get him more innings. Kind of a lost season for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious D Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Serretti is on his third team in two months. Toledo next week? And what is the Erie Development List? Sounds ominous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongLiveMaroth Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Since the big club has no chance of making it to the playoffs it is fun to watch Erie go for it. They won last night 5-3 in 11 innings. Meadows went 3/4 with a 2B, 2 RBI, BB and K while it looks like they used Alvarado as an opener with Hurter following with 4.2 IP and 6K. Serretti went 1/3 with a BB and K and Workman with a 1/5 4K night. The night though belonged to Josh Crouch who hit his first AA homerun in the top of the 11th with one on to put the Wolves up 5-2. In the 48 AB this September Meadows is hitting an unsustainable .396/.453/.563 good for a 1.016 OPS. Good to see him show up during this playoff run and to build on his August performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 I might have been nice to see if Parker could have sustained his success at AAA at the end of this season - but OTOH maybe it's also good for him to experience some sustained success with the bat after what has to have been a frustrating MiLB career prior to this year.

He was still young for Erie--let him go into the offseason feeling good about his season. And we should, too. Greatly reduced his K's--if his K rate can hover around 25%, he might be a good major leaguer as his combination of speed and power is certainly appealing. Toledo will be a good test--looking forward to following his progress there, along with Wenceel Perez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastball sitting mid 90s and touched 100 with 19 inches of vertical movement to go along with that 3300 rpm slider. Its just going to come down to command and of course health, with that type of stuff you don't need to be Greg Maddux but can't be Gregory Soto either, if he can atleast control the stuff he could be a real ace.

If he can hit 19" vertical he'll do fine with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't lose any sleep over this. Happy for the guy, but doesn't seem like his success will be sustainable long term. At the time, we probably thought we would get Meadows back, and Baddoo had been hitting well in Toledo. Sure it's hindsight now, but at the time, I wanted Baddoo to get the AB's. If there is a silver lining, Thompson might have been able to help us win a couple of more games that would only hurt our draft lottery odds for next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious D Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 One of you wet blankets gonna tell me that Danny Serretti ain’t all that? Kind of impressive what he’s done in his debut, albeit in fewer than 100 AB’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
