2024 Official Minors Thread

They are working on a challenge system on ball-strike calls in the minors now. I saw two in the Indian's game. The result is almost instantaneous. I wonder about the box we see on the televised games - they'll have to do something to assure it's accurate for each batter but the system works pretty well.

Time to move 1B/DH Cimillo to AA. What's the holdup?

At Altoona the Bucs have Emanuel Chapman who is a 6 foot 6 right handed pitcher. For the season he is 4-1 with an .ERA around 3.5. He may be a player to watch over the next year or so.

he is a Cuban. The Pirates signed him last December. He is doing well this season. Here's his Fangraphs page:

Cimillo to AA and 0-7 so far, lol

TJ is hot and has been for a minute. Having issues vs. lefties for sure. I was harsh on the guy early. AA in mid Aug seems legit.

I want to see Seth Beer before season is over, guy deserves another look. Kinda has a Matt Hague career arc and stats.

McAdoo holding his own.

Bae pissed someone off.

I see Liover Peguero is currently batting .250 for Indy. While that is not great its a lot better
than Hayes or Triolo. Can he play 3rd?

Beer !

Just doesn't fit with the Rowdy resurgence but Cutch could use a breather. The guy is earning a shot.
