PrintSickels in 2004:
Gavin Floyd, RHP, Philadelphia Phillies
Bats: R Throws: R HT: 6-6 WT: 210 DOB: January 27, 1983Gavin Floyd had some bouts of inconsistency in 2003, but he remains one of the top
pitching prospects in the minor leagues. His ratios: K/BB +26 percent, K/IP +9 percent,
H/IP +2 percent. Compared to 2002, his strikeout rate was about the same, while his H/IP
deteriorated, though that can be a flukey stat. His K/BB actually improved. Some people
observers said his fastball didn’t have quite as much life last year as it did in ’02, but his
velocity was still above average, and curveball and changeup improved. He had some
mechanical problems (traced to trying too hard to imitate Kevin Millwood), but it’s not supposed to be a major issue. Floyd gets his Double-A test in ’04, and I don’t have any
reason to think he won’t succeed, given all the standard warnings about young pitcher
unpredictability. He remains a Grade A- prospect.

Hi larry.
How does Tyler Kuhn project as a major leaguer, if he does at all? Is he a future utility guy or is he a career minor leaguer? His .425 OBP in Birmingham really caught my eye.
"The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth." -Niels Bohr
Thanks.
I saw he played a lot of positions in AA, so I assumed something was keeping him from holding down a single position. He does seem to have decent RBI numbers (46) for a guy who doesn’t hit for a lot of power (1 HR).
"The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth." -Niels Bohr
but how many doubles?
I'd just as soon never hear another word from that fluttering asswheel. - RWShow
In 77 games at Birmingham he had 24 doubles and 6 triples.

i've heard that doubles are a better indication of power than hr on a previous larry thread

Is that because doubles translate to the MLB better?
Or is my concept of power wrong? I understand that home runs are not the only way to gauge power, but wouldn’t using doubles as an indicator for power mean that Brent Morel is a decent power hitter (37 doubles last year)?

"The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth." -Niels Bohr
this is what i wrote
doubles power at AAA is a lot more indicative of major league success than HR power at the AAA level.
That makes sense.
Thanks for all the info!

Also Dayan hit the ball HARD in 2 ABs and I really love how balanced his swing is looking in the game.
Is 3 ABs too small a sample size to say his BA was inflated by a high (.500) BABIP?

he showed power a couple years ago.
i don’t have much to add from what i wrote a few weeks ago.
http://www.southsidesox.com/2011/6/11/2218839/this-week-in-white-sox-minor-league-baseball
The median signing bonus of LatAm* prospects in today’s #FuturesGame is $83,750. Nine of the 16 from LatAm signed for less than six-figures
*These figures exclude Valle (signed through Mexico) and Cubans, per industry standard.
Kelvin Herrera, Gregory Infante, and Jose Altuve each signed for $15,000; Jurickson Profar received $1.55 million from Rangers
do cubans just get a lot more or is it not considereed LatAm?

Thru three at the AAA AS game, Viciedo hasn't been tested in LF.
He’s also 0-2, reached on error by 3B and flew out to RF.
He looked good handling the single to left!
And he hit the ball hard all 3 times, just right at somebody every time.

attended an event at which kevin goldstein spoke. highlights:
when i asked about jared mitchell, even though we were at an event with 90% cubs/white sox questions, he thought i was asking about jermaine mitchell, who i frankly hadn’t thought about since he was in kane county in 2007. considering the context, and that goldstein used to be one of mitchell’s biggest fans, i’m guessing you know where this is going. he said he had head only bad things from scouts about mitchell this season. he wouldn’t even put mitchell on a white sox prospect list right now.
flowers: thinks he’ll bounce around the next few years and will hit 30 home runs for salt lake in 2014.
rienzo: middle reliever.
saladino: still loves him.
“that reliever” aka addison reed: only other good thing in winston-salem.
should cloak this before wu sees it

Sigh. Which is why his numbers are rebounding lately.
Good, throw in the towel. If he’s structurally sound he’ll be OK.
by winningugly on Jul 15, 2011 11:19 AM CDT up reply actions
the obvious retort is small sample.
it’s rare that a player doesn’t have a hot streak of production at some point. the strikeouts are still there in abundance and that will always be the absolute key. for all i know, the difference now is that he was unlucky on hits before and now he’s lucky. hell, the guy has a like a .350 babip on the season. it probably wasn’t luck that was the problem. in any event, there aren’t (m)any players who struck out a third of the time as 22 year olds in A ball and ended up being OK.

by ceverettsdinosaurs on Jul 15, 2011 7:41 AM CDT up reply actions
barons needed some players.
kuhn is kind of an organizational guy, not really much of a prospect. i’m sure he’ll get another chance to try to shake that label but it’s not like the white sox are particularly concerned with his development (and going back to AA wouldn’t impact it much anyway).
to that end
the MLE calculator shows barely any difference when you translate from Charlotte to Birmingham. probably shouldn’t take it quite that seriously, but the degree to which Charlotte is a hitter’s park and Birmingham a pitcher’s is substantial.
So fast he could hit a ball up the middle and it would hit him in the ass sliding into second.

the highlights just came on the news here.
Milledge made a pretty laughable error that led to at least one Bats run. He got a late read on an easy pop fly, came charging in to catch it, and the ball bounced off his glove and rolled to the wall.

Joe Bisenius
A development to keep an eye on? The Sox converted him from reliever to a starter about a month and a half ago. Looking at old scouting reports, Bisenius is a big righty who can touch high 90s with the fastball. He’s been plagued by major control issues throughout his career and is still struggling with it since moving out of the pen. Considering that, he’s preventing runs pretty well as a starter with a 1.88 ERA in 9 starts and good K%. Could be interesting if he improves that BB%.
Remenowsky's K/BB ratio is 1:1 so far.
Looks like he’s got his first challenge on his hands.
