BJax singled and stole his 5th base on the young season. Vitters then homered him in on his 2 HR of the year.

[TruffleShuffle]

coming into this game tennessee's team line was .369/.432/.590/1.023

[Outshined_One]

2 HRs for Flaherty, 1 for Vitters, and 1 for Adduci in the first game of the Tennessee DH so far. Damn.

back of the envelope math has Vitters off to a .357/.419/.678/1.097 start with 2/3 K/BB in 31 PA's. Very nice.

Gameday has him as a 1.134 currently. Their rounding must be slightly different as I have him at 1.133. The difference between yours is in slugging: I have him at .714 SLG for the season so far.

Almost as awesome as Jacksons 6/8 k/BB ratio.

[TruffleShuffle]

ebinger got drilled. on the plus side, cerda has a home run and a single.

That about sums it up, yeah.

Az Phil has talked as if Flaherty was getting too big. But his picture here doesn't look the least bit too big. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/minorleagues/affiliates/index.jsp?c_id=chc

 

Plus, he's been playing SS a lot. And while we know he's no rangy SS and won't play SS in the majors (at least, not much and not very well...), the fact that they are using him there at all implies to me that his physique and his defense aren't too far gone to be possible at 3B or possibly 2B. He's been a slow mover. Kind of odd, given that he seems to be intelligent and a student of hitting, and his father is a baseball coach, and he played 3 years of college. So I'd have guessed he should reach his potential sooner rather than later, compared to most prospects. But if he could sustain some serious numbers at Tennesse this year, maybe he'd still have a chance to become a meaningful prospect.

[TruffleShuffle]

speaking of guys who shouldn't be playing shortstop, junior lake made three errors.

[toonsterwu]

In terms of Flaherty and being too big, I think the issue is his lower half, and specifically, his legs.

[chgojhawk]

I noticed Vitters was hit by a pitch in Game 2. How long should we expect him to be out? A month or 2??

Brett Jackson has gone to the plate 38 times so far this season. He's been on base 22 of those times.

.467/.564/.700 is a fantastic line.
