Bucklin12 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Since we have so many potentially successful arms in our organization, I just wanted to devote a thread to keeping an eye on their seasons, stats, and scouting reports. I've just compiled stuff for the top young starters, not any of the bullpen guys. I will update this post daily, and you can feel free to comment on any pitcher's progress or if you know anything. May 30th - June 5th Updates: A lot has happened since the last update. Thompson and Taylor were on hot streaks and both imploded last week, but I think they are both pitching tonight, so maybe they can bounce back. The good news is some of the top prospects who had been perfoming badly pulled together some good starts. Gaby went 6 allowing 1, while Volstad went 6 allowing 2. Tucker continues to improve and pitch very well as of late. Vandy's pitching with the big club tonight in the double header, so that will erase his MILB start, but he has been pitching very well for most of his outings since he has been in AA. Check the lines below... Gaby Hernandez, AA; 2-6, 58.0 IP, 4.81 ERA, 52 K's, 24 BB, .259 BAA most recent outing: ND, 6.0 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 3 BB, 6 K's -- June 4th Rick Vanden Hurk, AA; 2-1, 36 IP, 3.50 ERA, 44 K's, 12 BB, .208 most recent outing: ND, 5.2 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 8 K's -- May 31st Chris Volstad, High A; 4-5, 61 IP, 5.16 ERA, 44 K's, 18 BB, .302 BAA most recent outing: W, 6.0 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 2 BB, 3 K -- June 1st Brett Sinkbeil, High A; 1-2, 13.1 IP, 5.40 ERA, 9 K's, 4 BB, .281 BAA most recent outing: ND, 5.0 IP, 4 ER (6 R), 11 H, 0 BB, 1 K's -- May 31st Aaron Thompson, High A; 2-3, 58.2 IP, 3.22 ERA, 47 K's, 17 BB, .259 BAA most recent outing: L, 4.2 IP, 4 ER (8 R), 9 H, 2 BB, 5 K's -- May 30th Ryan Tucker, High A; 3-3, 52.0 IP, 4.50 ERA, 35 K's, 22 BB, .265 BAA most recent outing: L, 7.0 IP, 1 ER (2 R), 6 H, 0 BB, 5 K's -- June 4th Paul Mildren, AAA; 3-4, 48.1 IP, 4.47 ERA, 32 K's, 24 BB, .225 BAA most recent outing: ND, 6 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 4 BB, 4 K's -- May 30th Jesus Delgado, AA; 4-3, 46 IP, 3.72 ERA, 44 K's, 27 BB, .250 BAA most recent outing: L, 4.2 IP, 4 ER, 7 H, 2 BB, 1 K's -- June 2nd Graham Taylor, A; 6-1, 70 IP, 2.06 ERA, 54 K's, 5 BB, .190 BAA most recent outing: ND, 3 IP, 5 ER, 8 H, 0 BB, 1 K -- May 30th Sean West, A; ---- most recent outing: ---- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirspud Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Great thread, this is one I will be checking often. Sinkbeil certainly seemed to have gotten rocked in his last outing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambridge Marlin Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Good idea Bucklin, but just one suggestion, change ERA in last start to ER, easier to understand also maybe put the date just so we know when they are up next etc. :thumbup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucklin12 Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 Yeah, I will add ER instead of ERA in the most recent outing, but I'll keep the season ERA. Yeah Sinkbeil did get rocked yesterday, but it was against some fantastic hitters. Gaby had a fantastic outing as well as Volstad. Graham continues to absolutely attack the plate.

Hollyberry Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Awesome idea :thumbup . I just noticed Graham Taylor has 15k's in 12 innings and 0 walks. Pretty impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Most important thing for Tucker were the zero walks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirspud Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Thanks for the update. I'm more intrigued by Tucker than the other youngsters, although I think Volstad should increase his k's this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Good thread...can you add homers allowed as well? it's a very important statistic in developing pitchers. (although hard to gauge in the FSL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucklin12 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 Man, Graham Taylor really brought it back very strong after his last tough outing, and if you can believe this, the guy has only walked 1 in 25 innings, while striking out 24.

Hotcorner Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 when did we draft Taylor? I haven't seen his name much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucklin12 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 We drafted Graham Taylor last year (2006, 10th Round) out of Miami. He's a big guy at 6'4" / 210 and I am anixous to see what happens with his good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, forgot to clarify. His stats are VERY interesting. I always look at HR/9 and K/BB ratio to judge the early development of an arm, and his both are outstanding and always have been. Last year he allowed .27 HR/9 and .55 BB/9 at Jamestown in 13 starts. Plus his main category stats were impressive (2.47 ERA and 0.96 WHIP at Jamestown). I know it's Jamestown, but even in college his highest season ERA was 3.83 as a freshman at Miami-Ohio. He continues to improve as his Junior/Senior year combined ERA was 2.89. I'm excited for him.

Admin Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I am most intrigued about Kyle Winters for some reason. Dont ask why, but am expecting big things from him. Nice to see Taylor pitching well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucklin12 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 I don't know much about Winters... where is he playing right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Winters is in Greensboro right now. 2 GS, 0-0, 4.35 ERA, .89 WHIP, 8.02 K/9. Given up 2 HRs, in just over 10 IP, guessing that is where most of his ER(5) have come from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucklin12 Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 Anyone got news on Sinkbeil... he hasn't pitched since the 12th. I sent out some emails, nothing back yet It's weird. He just disappeared and nothing was said. This has happened before with the Marlins PR and it worries me. When a guy misses 3 starts, without explanation... it never turns out well.

fanofthefish Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I'm in school until May and won't be able to see the Jupiter pitchers until then any chance will get moved up before then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucklin12 Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 No, I don't think anyone will get pulled up to Carolina by May. If Volstad gets two more good outings, I see the Marlins trying him in Carolina for the rest of the year. I think Thomspon could get pulled up to Carolina by mid July as well.
