Unadopted Orphans (auto correct tried to say unadapted but I will let you figure that out on your own)

[goulik]

There are many unadopted prospects who have been left as orphans all season. Some are new to the organization and do not know that they should miss the love of an adopting fan but others are surely crying themselves to sleep nightly with no fans to tuck them in once a month or so.

 

I think all prospects should at least get a page on Adopt a Prospect Forum (AaPF) and get at least a small taste of the love we have for them. Now keep in mind, some minor leaguers are no longer prospects. They grew up you could say. (I'm looking at you Logan Schafer, Andrew Albers, and Darin Mastroiani) so I have intentionally left some people off the following lists. But these prospects below should have at least a page on AaPF and a season wrap up. I would suggest including a suggestion on their next year team be included in the season wrap up.

 

Let's get er done TD! (Shane and I REALLY can't do the rest alone)

 

Rochester: First group are the almost grown up and this may be the last season for a page. Second group surely need adoption. I know, I know, they don't excite you any more. Just do it! It would be good to give them all at least a moment here.

 

Logan Darnell, JT Chargios, Pat Light, Jason Wheeler, Adalberto Mejia, Pat Dean

 

Alan Busenitz, DJ Baxendale, Jake Reed, Marcus Walden, David Hurlbut, Nick Greenwood, Alex Wimmers, Omar Bencomo

 

Chatanooga: Lots of pitchers without pages. Some are real head scratchers as to why they don't...

 

Luke Bard, Nick Burdi, Ryan Eades, Raul Fernandez, Steven Gonsalves, Tyler Jay, (Really? Those two are not adopted?) Zach Jones, Felix Jorge, Mason Melotakis, Brandon Peterson, Randy Rosario, Aaron Slegers, TJ White, Tanner Witt, Edgar Corcino.

 

Fort Meyers: Many of mine were promoted here so again, mostly pitchers but first the 6 who have been there all year carrying the lumber. Ok 5 plus Chris Paul but he got promoted before I started my CR pages so practically all year.

 

Chris Paul, Alex Perez, Trey Vavra, Brad Hartong, Joe Maloney, Max Murphy, Nick Anderson, Cam Booser, Sam Clay, John Curtiss, Confesor Lara, Randy LeBlanc, Miles Nordgren, Derek Rodriguez, Cody Stashak, Keaton Steele, Michael Theofanopoulus (my word prediction just got his name after the first 5 letters... Holy wow!)

 

Cedar Rapids: SD Buhr is watching so get these guys pages up or he will know it!

 

Kevin Garcia, Rainis Silva, Travis Blankenhorn, Brandon Lopez, Jaylin Davis, Austin Diemer, Casey Scoggins, Brady Anderson, Tyler Beardsley, Michael Cederoth, Max Cordy, Andro Cuturo, Eduardo Del Rosario, Sam Gibbons, Tom Hackimer, CK Irby, Logan Lombano, Anthony McIver, Sean Poppen, Williams Ramirez, Lewis Thorpe, Zach Tillery, Andrew Vasquez, Lachlan Wells.

 

There are also almost the entire rosters of the GCL and Elizabethton. Brian Olson Is adopted at the GCL and a couple at Elizabethton as well so there is surely some jealousy and excitement among the other kids in rookie ball but let's get these older guys done first, OK?

I can't believe no one responded. I will be wrapping mine up and wrapping up others that haven't been updated for a long time.

 

Next year, the old method has to return, with the understanding that the only minimal requirement is just to open a solid first post on a prospect. Even the old way only produced 50 or so threads. I bet we could get to 80. I can work to keep them updated. That first post is pretty time-consuming to do well, and when the idea is to do that for 10-15 players . . . it was bound to be a disaster.
