So business as usual. Maybin isn’t hitting for much HR power, but has an excellent average, BB rate, and the K rate is much improved from last year. It’s just a question of when he comes up at this point. In other threads, I have detailed his future arbitration status which may be of importance here. Basically, if the Marlins call up Maybin now, he will be a Super2 in 2012 and the Marlins will be on the hook for an extra $2-3 million in salary. If the Marlins call him up around August 20th, take maybe a week or so, Maybin will probably not be a Super2 and the Marlins will have Maybin club controlled 2010-2012. Kind of a big deal. If the Marlins don’t ‘need’ him for the playoff push, he should stay down for a few more weeks just to preserve his status.

 

Gaby had a bad July, but he was up with the Marlins for a bit explaining the low PA. I kind of feel that Gaby’s current minor league line is what he’d be doing in the big leagues. And I’m more than happy with that for a few club controlled years. Jai is really smashing lefties, but still can’t be considered much of a prospect since he can’t hit RHP. Jai is out of options after this year, so I’d suspect he is out of the organization in March unless he wins a job on the big league roster somehow. Hayes and Raynor are just brutal and will surely repeat AAA.

Season - 161 AB, .267/.430/.466 (.896), 7 HR, 46/26 BB/K, 4/1 SB

 

Mike Stanton RF

July - 94 AB, .277/.349/.596 (.945), 7 HR, 7/32 BB/K, 1/0 SB

Season AA - 180 AB, .244/.330/.483 (.813), 10 HR, 18/60 BB/K, 1/1 SB

Season A+ - 180 AB, .294/.390/.578 (.968), 12 HR, 28/45 BB/K, 2/2 SB

 

Scott Cousins CF

July - 100 AB, .260/.299/.460 (.759), 2 HR, 6/23 BB/K, 5/0 SB

Season - 374 AB, .257/.317/.428 (.745), 9 HR, 32/80 BB/K, 22/5 SB

 

Morrison. Is. Retarded. At this point, we may have to pencil him into the starting lineup in April 2010, whether it’s 1B or LF. Average, Contact, BBs, Power. Full package right there. Stanton is holding his own in AA overall, and was much improved in July. You’d like to see a few less strikeouts, but I’m really happy he’s not being dominated. Plate recognition will probably improve as he ages, so he just needs to keep at it. If he can hit .260 in the bigs, he’s probably going to be a star with that power and BB potential. If Petersen can start hitting for power, he’s going to start looking real good with that avg/bb potential. Especially against right handers. And Cousins hit a lot of 2B/3B this month to explain the slugging, but he should probably repeat AA next year. Petersen should move up as he is a college player.

 

Jupiter (A+)

 

Matt Dominguez 3B

July - 102 AB, .314/.410/.569 (.978), 6 HR, 16/16 BB/K

Season - 381 AB, .262/.333/.420 (.753), 11 HR, 38/68 BB/K, 1 SB

 

Not really any other major hitting prospects in Jupiter, but boy has Dominguez turned it on. April .681 OPS, May .513 OPS, June .826 OPS, and now July. Season line is nothing to write about, but he’s been on a tear the last two months. One more good month, and we have to look at this as a highly successful season for Jupiter.

 

Greensboro (A)

 

Isaac Galloway CF

July - 100 AB, .240/.255/.310 (.565 OPS), 1/23 BB/K, 3/2 SB

Season - 224 AB, .262/.293/.378 (.671), 2 HR, 9/59 BB/K, 11/6 SB

 

Jake Smolinski 2B

July - 81 AB, .259/.348/.407 (.755), 1 HR, 10/11 BB/K, 0/2 SB

Season - 226 AB, .261/.365/.429 (.794), 7 HR, 34/38 BB/K, 2/5 SB

 

Kyle Skipworth C

July - 58 AB, .224/.262/.328 (.590), 1 HR, 2/26 BB/K, 0/1 SB

Season - 250 AB, .204/.257/.324 (.581), 5 HR, 16/87 BB/K, 1/2 SB

 

Not much positive to say. Smolinski has a nice walk rate. Skip and Galloway brutal.

 

Jamestown (A-)

 

No one of particular interest at this time. If someone wants to fill something in, feel free. But no major hitting prospects, and the international signings are not hitting.

 

GCL Marlins ®

 

Marcell Ozuna, RF

July - 96 AB, .396/.443/.646 (1.089), 3 HR, 8/19 BB/K, 1/1 SB

Season - 133 AB, .346/.393/.556 (.949), 4 HR, 9/28 BB/K, 2/1 SB

vs LHP .545 OPS, vs RHP 1.134 OPS.

 

Ozuna played in the Dominican league last year as an international signing. He did ok for a 17 year old, hitting .279/.335/.416 (.751). Now, he’s really hitting the ball hard. It’s not unusual to struggle against lefties at a young age, but I note it just to show how hard he’s hitting right handers. Scouting reports are thin, but he is turning into a prospect of interest.

 

And Hickman is back playing in the GCL. Only a few games, but if he plays enough in August I’ll update it next month.

Nice write up. And yes, Morrison was just sick in July. I wouldn't be surprised to see him as a September call up.

Once again people ignore Aury Diaz.

What's so impressive about him?

I asked that the other day.

As for the hitters I'm more impressed by what Dominguez is doing without Stanton's bat in the line-up, not much protection around him. Also for all the crap Skipworth is getting(most deserved) he showed some improvement this month hitting over .200 for July, plus K's have slowed slightly. Also I think Maybin's HR#'s will improve with experience, similar to Hanley's, probably not that much power but 20-25 range.

Love hitter roundup! Anyway, I'm very impressed with all of our big 3 (Maybin, Stanton, Morrison). Although having Adrian Gonzalez and Heath Bell would have been nice, but I've got no problem with Logan Morrison on this club for the LT future. I'm loving his .896 OPS this season and like most people are asking, is it time to pencil him in to the active roster for the Fish in 2010? I guess a lot of it depends on his spring next year, but hey at least that will give me something interesting to do before the regular season starts next year. I'm very happy with Stanton's improved BA in July. While BA probably won't be one of his strong points, if it improves at all that would just make him that much a bigger piece to our future lineup. Does he start the season New Orleans next year?

Really annoyed that we went with Skipworth over Jason Castro...

Not many people said that at the time. It's just life in the baseball draft.

yeah, people blasted houston for taking castro that high lol

I just hate when teams draft for signability rather than the best guy available. Everything from that draft led me to believe that we took Skipworth because he was cheaper. Even if Buster Posey had slipped into our lap, I could almost guarantee that the Marlins would have passed on him because he was too expensive.

 

Another reason why the Draft badly needs reform.

That is very true. A lot of prominent prospects - Beckham, Smoak, Alonso - were drafted picks away from Skipworth and all were/are better prospects.

 

Skip wasn't a huge reach, probably 5-10 picks, but it's still annoying. Beckham would look so good right now. uh.

Skipworth was actually Gatorade Player of the Year and had batted over .500 while getting major honors while in high school. He really wasn't all that much of a reach, but then again he wasn't nearly as polished as Buster Posey was going into college. You pick correctly on some players and you don't on others, just how the draft works.

Exactly.

We don't even know if Skipworth was a bad pick yet. He's only 19 years old, so he has plenty of time to prove his worth. And I think we picked him because we had a hole at C. We had no true prospect there, and he was available.

I still think Skipworth will figure it out.

Same.

But I wouldn't mind trading him for Bryce Harper.

Miller23+Bryce Harper=

Miller23+Bryce Harper=

 

 

 

Lmao.

where the f*** is the power cam? logan is ready. he can come up at any time. (probably september). is there any reason to check the jupiter box scores any more?

what are the chances logan is a september call up?

id think he is. but not sure here he would play. can he play rf? 1b will be nj, 3rd will be cantu. so that just leaves lf and cogs will not be moving imo. i just dont think there is any room. maybe they just platoon him with cogs?
