9/17/2023 - Playoffs & Sendoffs

9 of the 12 hits Anthony got with Portland in September came in 3 games. How many came on pitchers who were called up from a lower level to replace pitchers called up to the majors? He may well turn out to be a good player but I think it is a little early to predict stardom based on his AA stats.

& he plays really good defense in CF & doesn't turn 20 until May. It's a pretty tantalizing set of skills & early results.

Have you given any thought to moving him to #1?

Your stat is also wrong. He has 2 3-hit games,

You're right. I scrolled down on his game log in September when I counted his hits but scrolled up when checking for three-hit games and forgot he was playing for Greenville on September 1 and 2.

Oh no the Tyler Voltron is breaking up

Might not be the right thread for it but also didn't feel like it was worth starting one. Keith Law took in some Portland games.

Law’s minor-league scouting: Red Sox got a steal with Roman Anthony’s beautiful swing - The Athletic

Not breaking paywall entirely, but he really likes Roman Anthony "maybe the best swing in the minors", he saw "several swings that were picture perfect", and he's going to be higher than the #45 Law had him midseason on his next rankings. Other guys

Wikelman has a big league level fastball but command and secondary pitch issues might relegate him to the pen (he did see Gonzalez on a rainy night so, might just be that too).
He's not a fan of Yorke's inbetween of contact and power swings and thinks this year's output (260-350-437) is a reasonable expectation for what he'll do in the majors - thinks there's potential for a better average hitter if he focuses on that
- IMO if Yorke can be a high-700s OPS MI with that line he'll have a nice role in Boston...
He thinks Blaze Jordan's lack of defensive profiling outside of 1B/DH and bat speed issues will prevent him from profiling in that spot in the bigs.

Maybe they'll reassemble in Worcester. It lasted as long as it could.

Kind of an odd choice for a call up, but I guess they like the flexibility & he has been hitting better lately.

Social promotion…

Impressed that the Drive have been able to turn it on in the playoffs after being swept (0-6) by Aberdeen the last week of the regular season.
I guess they were lining up the pitching!
