Minor MLB Transactions: 11/24/18

By TC Zencka | November 24, 2018 at 9:19am CDT

In this post, we’ll track the minor moves from around the MLB today…

  • Jacob Scavuzzo announced, via his instagram, that he will continue his professional ball playing career with the San Diego Padres organization. Scavuzzo, 24, was a 21st round draft pick of the Dodgers in 2012, hitting .258/.310/.448 with 91 career home runs across six minor league seasons in the Dodgers system. High strikeout rates and poor plate disciplines have limited Scavuzzo as he has reported to Double A Tulsa for three straight campaigns, but the power potential is there. Fangraphs’ Eric Longenhagen named him among a list of “fliers with big pop” in the Dodgers organization last May, but 2018 brought more of the same from Scavuzzo – he hit 26 home runs with a .523 SLG, 5.9% BB% and 23.5% K% for the Drillers. For the Padres, he represents respectable left field depth in the upper levels of the minors with at least a hint of potential for more if progress can be made by way of his plate discipline.

    Feels very much like a Carson Cistulli guy – the Fangraphs editor who used to do deep dives into minor leaguers with intrigue (Cistulli was just hired by the Blue Jays). This guy has some pop and has managed to keep his average above water despite the bad approach; usually guys with that kind of bad approach never really improve their plate discipline, but they are worth taking a chance on. Occasionally they eke out a few decent years in the majors.

    Guess he’s a Logan White draftee.

    High strikeout rate and poor plate discipline? This guy will fit in perfectly with the Padres. He’s exactly the kind of player AJ Preller wants and keeps getting.

    At best an OF Ryan Schimpf that can steal a couple of bases. I’m guessing a weak insurance policy in case all of the corner outfielders go down at the same time.
