He better not suck.

[sneakypower]

he's had more than a half season straight (last 83 G) of this performance:

 

.308/.382/.637

69 R, 25 2B, 27 HR, 78 RBI, 16 SB (9% BB, 23% K)

 

if you're curious about the full-season pace, just double those things

[Guest]

Thread should just be called "I'll do whatever the [expletive] I want."

[Guest]

i considered making the same joke

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I was going to do the same with the slash line.

.616/.764/1.274

[sneakypower]

he's the youngest position player in the Southern League; he also has the league's highest wOBA (min 150 PA), at .465

 

the next highest is/was Yasiel Puig, at .433

[Guest]

it would be so god damn fun to have an honest to goodness early 20's superstar position player (meaning a trout, stanton, harper level guy), something we really haven't experienced

Not since Sandberg at least.

About the only thing I'm worried about at this point is his contact rate.

 

Blame the dude at PSD who knows stuff and posted about it (and it being more predictive than K rates in terms of contact ability)

Ednel Javy "**** you I'll be a superstar if I want to" Baez.

[Clem Fandango]

Baez going into today for the 2013 season. It's so wonderful.

I've never really looked into it, are IBB not very common in MILB since it's more about development than winning games and the organizations will want the pitchers to go after all hitters? If not the 1 IBB for Javy is insulting.

You're correct. You do find your share of unintentional intentional walks, though.

He's a small hot streak away from ending the season with a AA slugging percentage higher than the Southern League average OPS.

[Guest]

Fifth in the Southern League in HRs despite playing only 49 games while the rest of the top 5 have all played at least 119.

[CubInOK]

This thread needs a good bump.

Oh the meatballs are going to be out in full force this Spring when the Cubs bats struggle to generate offense. Glad they left him on the big league spring training squad for so long, but he got too much exposure to our idiot fans.

[Guest]

I missed this thread.

 

I can't wait until we have one in Cubs Discussions.
