Farm System - Andy - 05-09-2014
Is it possible Bryant will be the first of the big names we'll see in the majors?
In AA his OPS is 1.067.
Farm System - Dirk - 05-09-2014
Quote:Is it possible Bryant will be the first of the big names we'll see in the majors?Baez destroyed A-AA last year too but there's something different about Bryant. He just doesn't struggle; just shows up and calmly starts hitting on day 1. Still think Baez makes first though. Baez seems like he's one hot streak away.
In AA his OPS is 1.067.
Farm System - Runnys - 05-09-2014
I also think Baez will be first because he is already at AAA. I believe the management has said that they want guys succeeding at each level before calling them up. So Bryant still has to do this against AAA. Although, the idea of Bryant hitting in the PCL is scary in a good way.
I will say this though, I would not be opposed at all to them both not getting a call up this year. There isn't much reason for it and maybe in the case of Baez, he needs a little humility to realize this game isn't that easy.
Farm System - Coldneck - 05-09-2014
I know SSS and all, but I can't help but worry about Baez's poor contact rates might sink him in the long run. Hopefully he figures it out soon enough.
Farm System - Runnys - 05-09-2014
Do any of you think there is any chance that Theo would trade Baez if a team offered up some high end arms? It would draw the ire of the casual fans that just know the name, but it is something that could help this team significantly and Baez doesn't have anywhere to play right now.
Farm System - nakedman1664 - 05-09-2014
I still believe it's too early to trade any of them at the moment. I'd say the middle of next season at the earliest.

Quote:I still believe it's too early to trade any of them at the moment. I'd say the middle of next season at the earliest.Way too early. Everytime he struggles people start bringing up trading him. He didn't get a hit yesterday, but he had two walks. He's walked a fair amount over the last few weeks, that's a good thing.
Farm System - nakedman1664 - 05-09-2014
Maybe it's a sign he is seeing the ball better, and that the hits aren't too far behind.
Farm System - vitaminB - 05-09-2014
Trading Baez right now would be the worst possible scenario. That being said, I think the guy's swing scares me, in a bad way. If we can flip him next year for an ace prospect I'd be in favor.
Farm System - rok - 05-09-2014
Yeah, I wouldn't be against that. Now just isn't the time though. All he needs to do is keep his SOs under control and he will be a bad bad man.
Farm System - Andy - 05-09-2014
If memory serves, when Baez first made the jump to Daytona, he started out pretty shitty. The following season he really turned it on.
He has way too much potential to trade him now. I believe he's part of the core of players Theo and crew are counting on to turn this club around.

From what I've seen, Bryant actually has a plan and approach to ABs. Baez has none. Baez lets ptichers attack him and waits for a mistake, while Bryant goes out to attack pitchers and gets HIS pitch.
Farm System - nakedman1664 - 05-09-2014
Let's place bets now: who has the better career, Bryant or Baez?

I'm ok with another Soriano in the lineup.

That's though. Bryant definitely has the lower floor while Baez has a HoF ceiling.
