Hey i love these Guys who come up from AA and our pretty studly.

cabrera

willis

hermida

olse

andino

vargas

.......and the list goes on!

 

But it only makes logical sense that AAA is higher than AA and the Players in AAA should be closer to major league ready.

 

Hey im not complaining.... quite frankly i dont care if these guys come from tee ball, BUT can any body answer me why we have more prospects coming out of AA than AAA.

because AAA is for journeymen that u put in there for the hell of it, dillion, wilson delgado, treanor, easley, and people past their prime but still decent players for that level, yea sure a few made it to the big leagues but defintley see more AA players come in

Typically your best prospects are in AA because AAA is usually full of guys who can't cut it in the Majors and they tend to leave a negative impression with young studs, so if possible teams like to keep their best prospects in AA, let them mature there and bring them up to the majors.

what? easley was supposed to go their but he made it as a back-up

Beinfest's contention is that generally, especially with the environment that Carolina affords against Albuquerque (hitters' heaven), you're more likely to see a player play closer to his projectable career averages in Carolina. Other organizations approach it differently saying that you have to earn it at every level to get the promotion, but that's not always the case with the Marlins.

 

Every level of the minor leagues has the 'has-beens' or 'never-will-be's,' so that whole "AAA is full of journeymen," argument lacks teeth.

It could also do with the fact that the PCL is a pitcher-killing league, and you don't want your young pitchers to lose confidence pitching in that kind of environment. As for hitters, you can't really get a read on how good they are, or how much the parks are affecting their hitting (ie making it better).

The Orioles are stoopid.....they put their prospects through AAA, a big reason why they never have any real good young players.

well who is the next stud to come-2003 cabs 2004-??? 2005-hermida

Teams tend to avoid sending thier best pitching prospects to the homer happy high elevation Pacific Coast League. It only makes sense for those same teams to avoid sending their best position prospects to the pitching weak Pacific Coast League.

 

Apologies to all our Albuquerque fans, but I can't wait until Jacksonville makes the push for AAA or we tag up with an existing International League city.

Are you saying Jacksonville would pick up a AAA team and drop the Suns?

Yeah, supposedly that was the plan. They built the park to meet AAA standards.
