Aiken is 1-7?? Woof!

Far more concerned about the plummeting K rate and rising BB rate.

 

[buckeyefan]

Crazy that Aiken's ERA isn't worse considering the amount of walks he gives up.

Horrible pick. Why the Indians let *name any Browns FO since 1998* make that pick is mind-boggling. A swing for the fences and they missed.

Eh, it's too early to even worry about him since this is the year he works on getting command back and everything else. I'll worry in a couple seasons if he doesn't get above where he is at now, but until then just be patient with him. @BimboColesHair, what is Aiken's velocity on his fastball? And I am not sure if ya know or not, but has his mechanics changed some/getting into bad habits or just doesn't have his control back?

Here is an article written a couple of weeks ago. You have to be a member to read it though. It must not be good if someone felt the need to write an article about it though.

Yeah I am not a member to it, what's it saying about his velocity and whatnot? I am okay with him getting back his control as long as his speed is still there. He is 20 years old and with no need for starters, we don't need to rush him anyways so let's see how he looks in a couple seasons.

 

[BimboColesHair]

Akron with 21 runs and 22 hits in a 7 inning game. Mejia went 4-5 with 2 HRs and 6 RBI.

Oh man, when do you see Meija being at AAA? Also is there anything different with Urshela and Stamets this season since they seem to have way different stats than in the past. I know its a small portion size, but Stamets is hitting above his weight, so something has to be different.

Triston McKenzie last night:

7IP, 2H, 1ER (HR), 1BB, 13K

Gave up a HR to the first batter of the game and then went nuts on a solid Frederick lineup.

 

[sportscoach]

@BimboColesHair, @AZ_, @D-Wreck and anyone else who pays attention to college baseball, is there anyone we should be looking at for the draft coming up in a few days?

I know a top pitching prospect from Oregon just got allot cheaper... #marketinefficiencies

This is as little involvement I've had with the MLB Draft in a decade or so.

I know guys through the first few rounds, but beyond that I'll be learning about them with the rest of you.

The Indians also don't pick until 64.

64, 72 and 101 over the first three rounds.
