    Jake Mangum Traded

    Now a Marlin. He is the player to be named later in trade earlier this season.

    Bad team, better opportunity. Won't be surprised if he makes the squad out of Spring Training.

    Yeah I don't care which team he's with I just want to see him make it.

    Probably his best shot at an Mlb stint. Still not that great... backing up bleday and Sanchez

    ETA... de la Cruz is in that mix too. All are younger than jake too

    Yeah a much better opportunity. They won't have to put him on the 40 man roster though so probably start him in AAA. But I could see him being an extra outfielder to start. Kind of thought someone might have took him in the Rule 5 but players get through that surprises me a good bit.

    Cheering for Jake to reach his field of dreams no matter where it is. He is a fine young man and deserves it.

    Same team as Tanner Allen. He'll probably start out in AAA but I wouldn't be surprised if he gives himself a long look with a good spring training.

    I don't see TA starting out in AAA. He's struggled mightily in his time in the minors......I think he's hit less than .200........

    He's talking about jake. TA is gonna need to step it up soon. He finished in low A. Bad bad year.

    Jake doesn't hit for any power. Avg is ok. TA just flat hasn't hit at all for two years. Hovering around 200 w no power numbers too

    Man, I hate that for TA. But that's not good. You're right it's going to take a significant leap. And really quickly.

    I thought TA might transition into a decent pro hitter but it just hasn't happened.

    Legit fastballs on the inner half, pro breaking balls, and wood bats.

    TBH he saw pitching as good in the SEC but the wood changes a lot even with the new bats. I never felt like he had a big league build for his swing. But I am surprised he’s struggle this much at the lower levels.

    TA struggling in the lower minors makes me wonder about bat speed. I'm sure there's some guys with good offspeed, but most all will have good velocity. The light bat in college coulda hid bat speed some. Wasn't he a great oppo hitter in college?

    Same thing has happened to Bleday to some extent - he hasn?t hit for average at almost all his stops
