The Monte Harrison Appreciation Thread

We have an awful major league baseball team, and this guy is our best prospect right now. Sad. 

 

It's really great that you always do your best to inspire this team…

It’s almost hard to believe that this, today, is all real.

I didn’t know it was my job to inspire them.

How is it so hard to believe? You've been preaching how bad everything around this team is... why is it a surprise to you of all people?

Being 48-74 is not a surprise and pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

 

But ALL of the young players in the organization struggling so mightily is surprising. Or at least something that should be talked about. 

 

Looking ahead to the future, who is this team building around right now?

I was just asking the guy who always shouts the sky is falling why he's surprised when the sky has fallen.

Dear Mr. Marlins Bright Side, 

 

I am very surprised at how shitty our farm system is right now.  I am not surprised that the big league club blows. 

 

Regards

But it seems you always do it in your posts,right ?

 

You’re the same guy who became a Marlins fan because of Wei-Yin Chen. 

 

 

Well, since this is the Monte Harrison appreciation page, let me digress from the current discussions-Bring Monte up, I would rather see a 37% strikeout rate with a guy swinging hard than watching Mrs Sierra at the plate.

 

 

17 hrs and 24 stolen bases.  He also has a .315 OBP despite a .238 BA.  The tools are there.  Just needs better pitch recognition.  Or a wider bat.  LOL.  He just turned 23.  There's still time.

 

On the other hand Scott , Pompey, and Banfield have all been promoted to Greensboro.  Might have a good draft class on our hands.

Bro stop being positive. That's not welcome around here.

Why aren’t you banned yet?

 

 

I’m not giving up on Monte Harrison due to his raw ability, but it’s going to be a long adjustment period for him at the big league level. Just like Brinson.

 

You can’t have a guy to strike out over 200 times in AA, and expect him to make good adjustments at the big league level against far superior pitching.

 

I know you guys consider anti-positive as the negative police, but let’s just be real here.

And FYI, I have some hope with Monte and Brinson, but Sierra is one of the worst players I’ve ever seen and that’s saying something as a Marlins fan.

No, that's a completely fair assessment. If he can drop that K number down to 150 over a full year [ok let's be honest, 175], then that'll help. Will take time, if it ever happens.

Harrison was cruising on AFL.

 

He got .353/.460/.431. with 10 walks and "12"k thru 14-game, 51 at-bat.

 

Also he was chosen as an AFL Fall-star(like Allstar) with Marlins pitching prospect Jordan Yamamoto
