Carter Kieboom, Luis García, Gerardo Parra, Ryne Harper, Rogelio Armenteros and Yasmany Tomás. Their @MLBPipeline top-30 prospects include Tres Barrera (No. 19), Ben Braymer (No. 21) and Steven Fuentes (No. 22).
speaking of Joan Baez, shelled for 6 runs in 2 innings last night on 6 hits and 2 walks.
guess he was rusty on the diamond
As of today, both Kieboom and Garcia are hitting .200. Noll is at .245. Raudy Read and Wellington Castillo are about the top hitters on the team, unfortunately. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/team.cgi?id=9e26641b
Kieboom has an Avila-like line - .211 / .388 / .269, with 1 XBH (a homer). Garcia, OTOH, has 4 HRs and a double, but is displaying a walk allergy, so his line is .219 /.282 /.422. There's literally no one who has 30 PAs and an OPS over .800.
Almost makes one wonder if Kieboom was on some stuff and had to go off it starting last year. Makes no sense for a young guy like that to lose all his power.
Gerardo Parra’s three-run, go-ahead triple propelled the Red Wings to a 7-4 win over the Syracuse Mets Wednesday night at Frontier Field.After falling behind 4-0 after three innings, Daniel Palka’s team-leading fifth homer of the season cut the lead to 4-1.Jake Noll started the scoring for the Wings in the six-run sixth inning with a single to left that scored Palka after the ball was bobbled. Three batters later, a bases loaded walk to Brandon Snyder cut the Syracuse lead to 4-3 and set the stage for Parra.He took the first pitch he saw and sliced it past a diving leftfielder to give the Red Wings the 6-4 lead.The Rochester bullpen did the rest tossing six scoreless innings of relief. Joan Baez did the heavy lifting retiring nine of the 10 batters he faced over his three-inning stint.
Here are the stats for Rochester. Kieboom "confidently" hitting .195. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/team.cgi?id=9e26641b
Back up to .200 after tonight!
Confidence carrying him!Otherwise, Gerardo Para looks like the real ballplayer on the team.
Red Wings are HOT - Winners of three of their last four!!Noll has been good, some guy named Alec Keller is OPS'ng over .900
Keller's been in the system forever. Lefty hitting corner outfielder. Tall, lanky guy with no real MLB CF potential. Nice contact swing but no lift and not likely to hit for a lot of power. Gets hurt a lot. If he had just a little power or could play CF solidly he'd already have gotten an MLB shot.
tell me: is his nickname, "Helen?"
