Addison is (Mostly) Fixed At The Plate

[Bryants Disco Ball]

How old were you when you swore your oath against having fun?

 

I'm reading that like he's being serious and not sarcastic.

Given his relentless negativity, I stand by my interpretation.

 

I'm willing to believe you then. No offense to him.

I think it was a legit positive comment, more or less.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

the best defense at his position in the league isn't bad, is it?

I'm not quite sure I'd go that far...

[Tim]

Well, my bad if he actually meant it.

[David]

i could be wrong but i remember him being skeptical, at best, on addison the prospect

Good lord, you people...

Yes it was serious.

I was hopeful. There were these long periods of time in the minors he'd go hitless and look lost. He's always seemed kinda streaky to me. I remember going back and forth with Rasin about his hitting. His glove has always been solid. He's certainly showed more power than I thought he would this year. I wish he'd take more walks but maybe he's never going to be an obp (although it's higher than I thought it was) guy.

He's 26th in all of baseball in BB%. I'd say he's alright in that regard.

Your last sentence confuses me. Have you seen his walk rate this year? How many do you think he should be taking?

That surprises me. I must miss his walks, he seems to walk at about the same rate as Baez, I hadn't looked at the numbers though so I believe you. Iv'e watched most games this year, although to be honest Iv'e been turning a lot off games of early lately.. I don't know how Iv'e missed it. How's his strikeout rate?

He started the year with many fewer strikeouts. When he hit his extended slump throughout May, he was striking out a LOT. He's been much improved in that area, too, over the past few weeks. For the year he's at 25%, which is the top end of where he can be to maintain decent production. Hopefully his adjustments persist and he ends the year closer to 20%.

11% walk rate 25% strikeout rate
