Alfrod and Garcia again.
Are we still in small sample size mode for Alf Rod or have there been changes that are translating to better results?
Looks like a continuation of his excellent at-bats in spring training to me.
We’re still in a small sample size for everyone.
That said, I feel like I did notice some changes last night and hope to actually look more in depth at some video soon to see if I’m making that up or not.
I’m looking forward to seeing what Alfrod can do. He might surprise a lot of people.
From what little I saw of Graham Ashcraft, he seems to be another guy in the mold of Sims/Hendrix/Hembree. Hard thrower with a ton of spin. Nice to see his good outing.
Obviously it’s still small sample size, and obviously Alfredo won’t continue OPSing 483 points higher than his career average (or likely anywhere close to that), but it is still fun to follow. If this is a sign of a new Alfredo, I’m really interested to see where he settles in at. An OPS north of 0.700 with gold glove caliber defense would still be a welcome addition to this team if Garcia hits a wall. A 2019 David Fletcher type? Maybe Zack Cozart with less ISO? Wishful thinking, I’m sure, but that’s what following the farm is all about!
I’ve not seen him play much at all, but I would have guessed becoming a Jose Iglesias clone is his ceiling, and would be a positive outcome. That would be pretty useful.
Went to the game Tuesday nite in Montgomery. Green was very impressive. (99-103) Almost like Miley, was on the rubber ready to pitch waiting on the batter. Byrne was also very good at a much lower MPH. Sat around 91-92. Garcia was major league ready in the field. Had 4 or 5 incredible plays. Garcia stuck out 3 times versus right handers. They started him up and in and then struck him out on sliders in the dirt. Singled versus left-hander. Not much else as far as major league prospects on this team. Catcher and second basemen might be backups.
Greene’s quickness to be ready to go has stood out to me this year in his two starts, too.
