10 people in AA have walked more than striking out and Gunnar has the best OPS of the group

[BSLChrisStoner]

Promoted.

Nice, I wonder if he beats GRod to Baltimore?

Yes

Hit the ground running in his first game at Norfolk with two hits (including a homer) and a walk.

Okay, let's bring him up, so we can stop stressing over Adley.

Prospect rankings are subjective but this kid has to be tracking to be a top 10 prospect in baseball. Hes going to stay on the left side of the Inf. Hes 20 and tearing up the upper parts of minor league ball. Hes walking at an incredible clip.

[makoman]

I don't subscribe to baseball prospectus, maybe someone who does can summarize, but this article apparently claims he is the best prospect left in the minors.

Gunnar Henderson hits for the cycle tonight.

Gunnar Henderson hits for the cycle tonight.

Welp. That's pretty good.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Henderson moved up to #5 overall on MLB.coms top prospect list. GRod is #4. Cowser, Hall, and Westburg also in the top 100.

Wow.  Was expecting a big jump from Gunnar but that's huge.  Obviously the statline and the age make it easy to project the bat, but if they're ranking him that highly they must think he has a good shot at SS at least initially.

[BSLBobPhelan]

Graduate Adley and jump Gunnar to the top five in the same day, not bad.

[BSLChrisStoner]

This year: 

Gunnar: 

3rd base - 27 games at AA, 10 games at AAA  (37 total)

SS - 18 games at AA, 13 games at AAA  (31 total)

 

Westburg:

3rd base - 16 games at AA, 3 games at AAA  (19 total) 
SS - 13 games at AA, 12 games at AAA (25 total)
2nd - 16 games at AA, 7 games at AAA (23 total) 

 

By total: 
Gunnar 3rd 37
Gunnar SS 31
Westburg SS 25
Westburg 2nd 23
Westburg 3rd 19

Like that they are doing this assuming both are still playing well and progressing defensively. Not only makes the players versatile but allows the Os to be versatile when playing the FA/trade market to fill a hole.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Probably safe to assume Os will remain at the top of prospects list because its unlikely GRod, Hall, Westburg, and Henderson will graduate this year. Some chance on a the last 3 but not much. Will also add the #1 pick plus in the draft.

[BSLRoseKatz]

June 8 to June 29: 1.054 OPS, 16 BB/18 K (92 PAs)

July 10 to July 27: 1.230 OPS, 4 BB/7 K (39 PAs)

 

Sure looks like AAA found his weakness and he's now successfully adjusting

[BSLSteveBirrer]

Get him up already....and Stowers too.
