Soothsaying for Sixteen: Brandon Nimmo

Edgy MD Apr 08 2016 02:56 PM

Some still see promise in my package. Some see a passive representative of all that is bad with sabermetrics. Am I a budding on-base machine, the leadoff guy of the future? Or am I a fourth or fifth outfielder, a double-switch specialist? Listen, your opinion has meant shit to me so far. I'm a Wyoming boy with a Georgia girlfriend and a first-round bonus that I used to get me a sweet little ride. But I'm likely to debut this year, and opinions are going to be raining down on me like a ... well, I'm a ballplayer and not a poet. Whatever opinion you have, you better file it now, or else you're just reacting. Anybody can do that.

Still think he's Zimmo! Hits 299/360 in Vegas, gets an August callup and viewed as Grandyman's heir apparent as leadoff hitter in '17

Seriously edgy where are you coming up with these people?

Edgy MD Apr 08 2016 07:05 PM Re: Soothsaying for Sixteen: Brandon Nimmo

Please tell me you know about Brandon Nimmo. Somebody fill cooby in on Brandon.

Many of these guys are quite obscure, but not Brandon Nimmo. He was a first-round draft pick and someone whose arrival has been anticipated for a while.

cooby classic Apr 08 2016 07:07 PM Re: Soothsaying for Sixteen: Brandon Nimmo

Lol okay. I will keep an eye out for him

Cued up nicely, Frayed Knot.

I'd like him to do well, but when all is said and done, my gut tells me that his major and minor league stats will end up looking like this guy's: http://www.baseball-reference.com/playe ... da02.shtml He had high minor league OBP too, and showed more power in the minors than Brandon. And I'm not sure when major league year 1 will be and he'll be a fourth outfielder type. Later

Turtle doves, try to focus. We're not asking where he'll be living in 10 years. Neither do we need an analog for what his ultimate career will look like. When all that is said and done, few or none will remember what was written here today. The idea is to inquire as to what he will or will not contribute to the Mets in 2016 and 2016 alone.

Ashie62 Apr 09 2016 11:13 AM Re: Soothsaying for Sixteen: Brandon Nimmo

Unlikely with DeAza there. Nimmo needs to stay healthy above all. He will possibly get a cup of coffee in Sept. I'm not big on drafting high school players. I want the college guys who are cheaper who have done their A/AA work in school.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 09 2016 11:32 AM Re: Soothsaying for Sixteen: Brandon Nimmo

I predict that he'll eventually have seven grandchildren and their names will be Heather, Bonnie, Michael, Eugene, Gwendolyn, Herbert, and Spiro.

Lefty Specialist Apr 09 2016 11:55 AM Re: Soothsaying for Sixteen: Brandon Nimmo

Spiro Nimmo. Genius.

Turtle doves? OK., emmet. If he gets called up mid 2016 due to s spot opening up through trade or injury, he'll have a Schneckian 1972 year. If a year end call-up, it will be a Schneckian 1973 year. I think it will be the former. Later

It will be a September to remember for Nimmo. I can't say for what, the crystal has gone dark...

Brandon Nimmo is a much cooler name than Dave Schneck.

The post where I said that Verrett would make the earliest impact from that NYM draft class must have been cut off in the archiving process ... but I remember making it!!!!

quality thread

Brandon Nimmo is your PCL Player of the Week, after hitting .432 (14-for-31) with nine runs, three doubles, one triple, two homers, seven RBI, five walks, and one stolen base. I don't have the full line, but my back-of-the-evelope math says that's .432 / .528 / .806 // 1.334. On the season, he's at .345 / .420 / .539 // .959.
