I think Walker might already be as good as Juan Pierre. :P

Walker certainly is an intriguing player. He has always had a bit too many problems making contact and his biggest issue was his age. But his age shouldn't be as big a problem if he has another good season, since he's up to AAA.

CaliforniaRaisin · October 17, 2006

Leones win 3-2, box:

C H. Blanco 0/2, reached on an error - first game of the season

yeah, why not. Maury wills spent alot of time in the minors as did Podsednik and dave roberts (I believe). speedsters need to perfect their game as best as possible but I guess that goes for any one dimensional player.

Thanks again, Raisin, for doing this. But I'm confused just how many walks Walker actually has.

I trust the Caribes' web site more than euniversal.com, the two sites seem to conflict on how many walks Walker got in the doubleheader a few days ago. :?

His line from the Caribes' web site is: 11/38, .289/.413/.395/.808, 1 HBP, 7 BB, 8 K, 8/10 SB.

Atlee seems to be doing fairly well.

Any chance he's auditioning for a spot in the pen come spring training?

I have a question for anyone who knows.

Do these players get paid extra to play in these leagues? If so, how much?
