Rylan Bannon - 8th Round (#250) - LA Dodgers

[GoMuskies]

Congrats to Rylan. Again, significantly above where Baseball America predicted.

[GoMuskies]

The Dodgers signed Rylan.

[GoMuskies]

Rylan is playing for the Ogden Raptors now. His hitting coach is Pedro Guerrero (but not THAT Pedro Guerrero).

[GoMuskies]

Rylan got his first pro hit AND first pro bomb all in one last night for Ogden.

[GoMuskies]

Bannon is abusing Pioneer League pitching. .409 with 3 bombs in 22ABs. He's got a sporty 1.298 OPS. I would think he'd be a good candidate for a quick move to low A ball.

[GoMuskies]

Another routing 3 for 5 night with a double last night for Rylan. Average is up to .444 (10 for his last 17)with a 1.335 OPS.

[GoMuskies]

Rylan is back playing again after an injury kept him out for most of a month. He's managed to pick up right where he left off, though, including a 4-6 night Saturday that included his 4th pro dinger. He's now got a sporty .403/.448/.629 line (1.077 OPS) in 62 ABs.

[GoMuskies]

Bannon hit 3 bombs for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes on Wednesday. He's pretty good.

[GoMuskies]

Bannon was 4 for 4 last night, bringing his average up to .294 and OPS to .964 in the hitter-friendly California League. Earlier in the week he played in the California League All-Star game.

[XMuskieFTW]

He's been crushing it. .996 OPS with 17 homers and 51 rbis in 72 games. Also 49 walks vs 76 Strikeouts is really really good. Would think he'll get a look at AA soon.

[X-band '01]

Rylan Bannon now going to the Orioles' organization as part of the Manny Machado deal with the Dodgers earlier today.

[GoMuskies]

So Zac and Rylan will be teammates. Hopefully Rylan can help pull Zac out of his little funk. He's been lit up a bit lately.

Bannon reporting to Double-A Bowie.

[MD Muskie]

Should report today to Bowie and get a start here tomorrow or Sunday.

[bobbiemcgee]

Nice start with a HR:

[MD Muskie]

Rylan had a very nice play at his first start at third base as well. And that home run was a no doubter.

[X-band '01]

Movin' on up to the AAA Norfolk Tides today. Congrats Rylan!

[GoMuskies]

Movin' on up to the AAA Norfolk Tides today. Congrats Rylan!

Awesome! Perhaps he'll get demoted to the Orioles soon!

[BMoreX]

hey now

[GoMuskies]

Small sample size, but Bannon is murdering the ball in AAA.

[XMuskieFTW]

It's his defense that might hold him back. He's played about 1/3rd of his games at 2B this year, and 2/3rds at 3B including all of his AAA games. Last year was around 50/50.

His 2B fielding percentage would put him around the middle of the pack(if not a little lower).
His 3B fielding percentage is awful. Of 22 qualified major leaguers, the lowest fielding percentage is 0.941. Rylan is at 0.917 for the year and 0.915 for his career.

If he can improve his defense, he looks like he'll have the offense to make the league.

[GoMuskies]

Bannon also started his spring with the big club. He's played in all three games so far and is 2-5 with a double.

[GoMuskies]

Geez, not the year to be a former Muskie in the Orioles organization. Just saw that Bannon is hitting .152 with five HRs 132 ABs into his season at AAA Norfolk. As a 25 year-old 8th rounder non-prospect, I suspect he's on the edge of being released at this point.

His claim to fame may be that he was one of the guys traded for Machado lol

[GoMuskies]

Bannon is hitting .133 now. 20 for 150. That's hard to do. When they sent him to single-A Aberdeen for a rehab assignment he was 1-20 with a HR. .050 batting average.

I hope he has a good backup plan.

[GoMuskies]

Hopefully this isn't too late to salvage Rylan's career!

Ha, just came here to post that. And this one was a granny!

EDIT: Nevermind, it was a solo shot. Read his stat line wrong somehow.

[bobbiemcgee]

Rylan got his 1st major League hit and made a stellar defensive play pissing off Arenado.

[GoMuskies]

Nice, congrats to Rylan on making the Show (assuming Baltimore counts!).

[bobbiemcgee]

Got dfa'd by Baltimore and picked up by Atlanta and now with AAA Gwinnett. He may get another look in the show as Braves are short on infielders.

[GoMuskies]

Rylan has a .946 OPS since joining Gwinnett. 50 ABs means pretty much nothing, but a nice job making a good first impression with his new org.

[Masterofreality]

Claimed by the Cubs from the Braves today.
