I like that as the season goes on new names are becoming more Common to talk about.

 

Raley went 5 today for Iowa...6 H...5 R/ 3 ER...3 BB/ 4 K...1 HR....At least he picked up some Ks.

 

Vitters went 3-4 with a double...up to .267 with the batting average...maybe his OBP is over .300.

 

Vitter's double just missed being a homer, according to I-Cubs twitter... if anyone cares.

:good:

 

His May OPS is actually up to a respectable .832. I'll go out on a limb and bet that his June OPS goes over .900.

His iso numbers are actually not hate able.

 

.267/.311/.421...11 doubles to his 4 HRs....More K's than I guess I expect from him but nothing absurd. I think he'll end up doing quite well.

The guys a living, breathing roller coaster. One week he's 3-22 and the next thing you know, he's on a hot streak. Sound like someone we know and are paying 18MM?

Nah he usually picks up after a slow start at a new level. Last year he picked up in May until he got hit in the head.

I completely forgot about that. How much time did it cost him again?

Brett Jackson first AB: 3 pitch K

 

5 pitches this time. Progress?

This is getting ridiculous, I know he's always had decently high K rates in the minors but he's at an insane K rate right nwo. He almost has to be either hurt or working on changing/fixing something in his swing and/or approach.

 

Would you trade him for Aaron Kurcz?
