that's actually really close to kris bryant's slash line as a professional. :lol:

 

speaking of which, bryant probably has to be a shoo-in for BA minor league player of the year, right? he's first in OPS, tied for first in home runs, second in runs scored, around 6th in RBI, and is a very highly-regarded prospect. there have been some other good hitters, but nobody i can see that has been in bryant's league. plus most of the top pitching prospects have been either injured or not that effective this year.

If Iowa makes the playoffs, I think I saw it could be mid September.(ducks)

For the season:

 

Bryant: 1.139 OPS

Soler: 1.237 OPS

Schwarber: 1.024 OPS

Russell: .881 OPS (Over .900 in AA...as a 20yo SS)

 

[expletive]'s crazy, man.

 

Except for Bryant's 2 games in rookie league, he has OPS'ed over 1.100 at each level. It's getting to the point where I'll be surprised if he doesn't OPS over .900 in the majors next year. Nothing has slowed this crazy [expletive] down.

A quick look at Billy McKinney's numbers say he's very BABIP lucky in Daytona, but was BABIP unlucky while with Oakland's A+ team. Through that, he's had a great IsoD, and his BB% has almost doubled this year.

[burnt out cubbie fan]

But how much #want does he have?

It's that TWTW that is holding him back at this point.

I know Theo said they wanted Bryant to have one full year in the minors. What excuse did he give for that line of reasoning?

Something about it being his first full season of professional ball.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I don't think it's the right thing to do for someone in his first full professional season, barring extraordinary circumstances both with respect to the player and what's going on with the big league club.

[Guest]

Sound reasoning. We all know why though.
