Why I am I posting this a few months after the set came out? See the post from yesterday about the
Durham Bulls set. I picked this up at a Durham Bulls game and it features some really good talent from the International League which is Triple A level teams. Sometimes the amount of high end talent in Triple A can be short lived, it seems that more and more teams get players past Double A and promote them very quickly.
Cards and a little snippet about one of the players, maybe two....
Out of this group I really like Josh Bell. Berrios could be really good too, but he's been really shaky at the Major League level. Bell made it to the Majors last year too, and while the pop in his bat did not shine through in the 40 or so games he played in Pittsburgh, he had more walks than strikeouts. That translated into a .368 OBP. Getting on base is always a good skill to have and a great way to stick around...
A lot of players to like here....Pompey is a great defensive player, should be around a long time as a good centerfielder. Glasnow is going to be a good pitcher, Judge is going to hit, and I am still pretty high on Buxton. Feel like people have gotten down about him, but he is still only 22 and has a lot of potential.
Sanchez and Turner are the real standouts here, but there are others in this group who could be solid players. My favorite here is obviously Snell, also good to see Shaffer in this set, but I think he's lost a lot of his luster as a prospect. Severino and the two Red Sox could also be pretty good.....
Last three...
Hey, I like that Bacon USA jersey Nick Williams is wearing.....
