how about that kid Wil McDonald?

"Things could always be worse." - Buddy Bell

by buddyball on Jul 1, 2010 3:40 PM EDT reply actions  

Yes, runs a 4.2 forty yard dash, throws the ball 100 MPH, once hit a ball 600 ft with one hand. I heard he’s a blogger now but I could be wrong.

by Mostate44 on Jul 1, 2010 3:47 PM EDT up reply actions  

I thought he was last seen playing independent league in NJ?

or was that managing in Visalia?

~~~if there is one thing i absolutely know for sure its... ummmm uhhh.... uhhh

Was it a one-handed TPJ swing?

Or slightly more impressive?

Awesome

Movin’ on up. Just saw that he was OPSing at .900+. Keep it up, kid. Someday soon you can look forward to making 90-100 consecutive starts at catcher.

in Omaha

to keep the 40+ year old catcher in KC is too essential

by PopeSoria on Jul 1, 2010 3:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

dude

that doesn’t even make sense

by PopeSoria on Jul 1, 2010 3:57 PM EDT up reply actions  

Theriot is a catcher, right?

Myers gets to stay at Catcher for the time being?

by Dadunca on Jul 1, 2010 3:44 PM EDT reply actions  

yeah, he is

I just looked it up, and he’s 22. I don’t think i realized he was that old.

Theriot is 22?

12-08-1987

Which isn’t terribly old for the level, but Perez for reference just turned 20, and Myers turns 20 at the end of the year.

by AtTheWall on Jul 1, 2010 3:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

Though I just read

that earlier this year Perez was the youngest player in the Carolina league.

I presume this means he will play off of catcher some since Perez is also there. Whether this means DH or OF, we’ll have to see.

Yay for Myers

Boo for the 9:05 start tonight.

The Fact That

We can debate this is encouraging.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

by philofthenorth on Jul 1, 2010 4:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

it is for now

that could change real quickly because Monty, Duffy, and Hosmer could all join AA soon. and even Lamb.

Yeah, He Needs

To move to NWA because that's where the real prospects develop

That team would be a beast

They could probably do better in the AL Central than the Royals are right now.

Yeah, I Think

He made a couple of starts before the injury.

OT- What ever happened to Schaum and 610 Sports?

He was really great on their post-game show; now they have that “New School” tool who seems to make a factually incorrect statement every 3 seconds.

They Probably Took

A listen around the dial and realized that’s what sells.

Schaum took a job outside of radio

I forgot what.

That's Too Bad

For us, but I hope he’s moving up the food chain.

by philofthenorth on Jul 1, 2010 4:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

About time

I was almost expecting him to stay down at A- to work on catching. Glad to see they are going to let his bat progress.

by Boots 58 on Jul 1, 2010 4:44 PM EDT reply actions  

It'll Be Telling

If he stays behind the dish full time. I haven’t heard any reports on his defensive progress, but it would be nice is he could stick at C.

Good deal

Here’s hoping Frawley doesn’t kill his numbers.

by kcdc1 on Jul 1, 2010 5:09 PM EDT reply actions  

Frawley will lightly maim them

But that’s to be expected. Plus the league is more of a pitcher’s league and he’s youngish for the level. Remember, he wasn’t even playing pro ball yet a year ago. Just hanging at the level is good start. What he’s doing there by next April/May is what really matters.

It's all ball bearings these days!

by CentralChamps20?? on Jul 1, 2010 5:55 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

He has 2 hits so far.

Not we have Myers, Hosmer, Colon, and Perez(slumping but still) in that lineup.

We also have Lamb,Dwyer, and Melville as far as pitching.

Not too shabby.

by vic1124 on Jul 1, 2010 8:36 PM EDT reply actions  

Hits Are Overrated

In a small sample. How he is striking the ball is more important, if anything.
