dcristia Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 No thread on this big boy. 6'4 Lefty that mashed all year long. .291/.384/.565 with 13 HR in 61 A+ games last year, then followed that up with .310/.405/.560 and 11 HR across 55 AA games. Will be shooting up prospect rankings very very soon 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valdy34 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Definitely a rising 'spect. With Pratto on the cusp, DH may be his likely landing spot if he stays with KC. Regardless, I'm still intrigued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtywater97 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Pasquantino over Pratto and it's not even close IMO. Pratto has some serious swing and miss issues and I don't think he does much of anything until he can iron that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busterbeats Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) This guy is overlooked IMO and needs to be called up soon. Look at his minor league #'s ... plate discipline is a plus and he's put up a 150 wRC+ or better at each minor league level. Currently at 167 wRC+ this year at AAA.

Fun fact-that character was actually named Vic Vega, and is the brother of Travolta's Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CORTEz Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Beast K/BB ratio for a big guy. Great eye, great stroke. Honestly should be getting the call if KC ever decides to finally let Carlos Santana go. I could definitely see Vinny P getting called up if KC trades Santana to a contender. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treyjuice Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Looks like Pratto headed to the IL after a HBP. Since these two were kind of neck and neck in terms of a call up Vinny has an opportunity now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerrickHenrysCleats Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I’m in love with his name. that’s the kind of name I’d like to have on my fantasy baseball team. god, I love the French 🇫🇷 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CORTEz Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 This guy should be up within the next couple weeks if the Royals do things correctly... It's become obvious already at this point in the season that it's time for the youth movement and to call those guys up. Already 9 games under .500 and almost in dead last. Ryan O'Hearn is clearly not the answer. And neither is Carlos Santana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me more… im super intrigued by this guy. His highlight videos he jacks the ball like Jim Thome used too. I’m just dying to add him but don’t know when the right time is.

Overlord Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 He has precious few at-bats at the higher minor league levels. On the other hand, his K/BB rate indicates he has incredible command of the strike zone and he hits the ball really hard. Also, the Royals are terrible.

DerrickHenrysCleats Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 is it just me? it’s probably just me. but hot damn, I want this guy to be a thing. The next Bambino, Vinnie Pasquantino! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonnieMac Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I don't get why Vinnie and Pratto aren't up already? The Royals stink and aren't going anywhere this year. Mine as well throw these two up with Melendez and Witt and give them all time to get acclimated to the big leagues. Santana and O'Hearn aren't the answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason why Vinnie's not up. It's not like he is super young, he's 24 and destroying AAA pitching, time to find out if he is a quad A or the real deal. Let's go!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
