Holy horsefeathers. Thursday cannot come soon enough. I will be tuning in to as many Eugene games as I possibly can.

I have no context for EXST stats. How have people hit there in the past, like Eloy, or Starlin?

Its not usual to see a guy do THIS. I typically don't care about EXST at all actually. Pitchers or hitters. But, what he did was insane, its impossible not to look hard at it.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

so Amaya is confirmed Panamanian Buster Posey, I'm on board

[javy knows my name]

What's his profile like at catcher?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

What's his profile like at catcher?

 

When signed, he was thought of as a defensive-first catcher with gold glove potential. He clearly has displayed an elite ability to throw our guys so far.

BA's scouting reports on him when he signed didn't even mention his apparent howitzer of an arm. They pointed to how advanced he was as a receiver and that he showed early strength as a framer.

 

I'm not asking for much. I'll take prime Carlos Ruiz as his comp, since they are both from Panama.

That's one of the best extended spring training lines I've seen. Obviously, you can't take too much from it. But I think these stats at least give us a decent idea of what kind of hitter a guy is -- can he make contact, hit for power, etc. Sometimes you'll see some random 22-year-old post some good numbers down there, which obviously means nothing. But for an 18-year-old to do that in his first year stateside, that's very impressive. That K% is amazing. He's obviously got some bat-to-ball skills.

 

However much stock you put into stats from AZL or Eugene, even, I think it's OK to assign some similar significance to these stats, if the sample size is large enough. It's hard to fake those kind of numbers. Sure, he's probably not going to Buster Posey every level as he goes up and faces tougher competition. But that line fills me with excitement.

Javy's stats in extended spring training in 2012 are hilarious:

 

JAVIER BAEZ (SS):

330/351/725 (26 GAMES - 94 PA) – 6 2B, 3 3B, 8 HR, 28 RBI, 19 R, 1 BB, 23 K, 2 HBP, 1 GIDP, 11 SB (1 CS)

[Tim]

What got to me was the xbh/k ratio. that's just silly.

[We Got The Whole 9]

That gives Eloy 14 walks to 13 Ks, but a 12:13 ratio with the IBB removed.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Looks like Jose Paulino is now in the bullpen with Dylan Cease back.
