2021 Minor League Talk

[Pat]

One day I'm going focus on making sure my minor league teams are good. Unlike you pros, I rarely keep those AAAA players in my minors. I like to have a lot of younger fringe players to see if anyone sticks.

Anyway, our guy to watch going forward will be Camden (AA) first baseman, Robby Davis. The 19 year old Baltimore native would be a huge fan favorite if he is able to make it to the show. He's shown tremendous growth in power over this past year, hitting .322 and 10 home runs in just 199 AB in Orlando (A) then turning around and hitting another 11 home runs in just 129 AB after being promoted to Camden (AA). For now, we are going to keep him in Camden to start the 2022 minor league season but if he continues on this track, 1B D.J. Gosser might have someone nipping at his heels before he turns 30.

Your AAA has eight players 27 or older. One guy is 39.

8? I only have 6.

The 39 year old is Jimmy Mattoon, a Bulldog legend, who is on the roster so he can retire in the Bulldog organization. No way, I'm carrying a guy with a ERA greater than 5.50+ otherwise.

The other guys are guys with opportunities to play next season or nostalgia guys (outside of The Rocket Penis) . You've got a team full of top prospects and ringers.

And we won't even talk about your DFA.

That's my AAAA team.

Only thing I gotta say about the minors is that I hope my draft picks start paying off soon, because this ML losing sucks.
