GCL Reds
The Reds were off yesterday. The club is 17-21, in 4th place in the GCL South division, 7 back of the Twins.
Billings Mustangs
Billings was also off yesterday.
Stubbs mashes lefties (.364), but can’t hit righties (.222). Probably a platoon candidate, which isn’t so bad so long as the lefty-hitting half of that platoon isn’t Patterson. Hanigan has a nice K/BB ratio, a put the ball in play kinda guy w/ good splits. Let’s take the 2 or 3 decent years he can give us before our other C prospects are ready.
For the record, Sultan has that reversed: Stubbs is hitting .365 against RHP and .222 vs lefties.
SS, who exactly are those catching prospects?
My bad, Derek. Along w/ Mesaraco, Jordan Wideman, currently at Billings, is getting high marks. I get your point though, it’s an area of weakness thru the levels.
Mesoraco may be a #1, but from what I’ve seen of him this year, he’s far from a prospect at this point. Bad defensively…and I mean BAD…and his offense is mediocre.
What are scouts or the coaches saying about Mesoraco?
Don’t know…but I know he’s having trouble catching the ball and he’s throwing out about 8% of the base stealers.
