Minor League Discussion & Boxes 8-18-2007
TruffleShuffle replied to Jon's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
oh hey look another home run for soto -
i think the cubs got the patent first
-
i'm seeing way too much red on that cubs cam... who gave those losers tickets?
-
nice outing by the "inconsistent" sean marshall
-
someone please get this loser out
-
makes me grateful that the cubs are actually ahead in this game
-
wait so who gets credit for the strikeout, howry?
-
gabe gross??? wtf
-
not a word
-
EXACTLY what I was thinking... not real thrilled to get this game underway again now. I could just see Duncan hitting a lazy fly up into the jetstream in one of the first pitches back into the game, and watching it sail out with the wind, to tie it up - and then get more rain to suspend the game til tomorrow or some crap. wow that would be some pop up!!!
-
let's get a phillips walk and then dunn hits one to madison

Tigers to call up Maybin
TruffleShuffle replied to E.J.'s topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
i saw clemens hit maybin in his next AB after the homer... haven't seen highlights, but was this crybaby roger up to his old tricks? -
yes i would guess within the next half hour
-
uh oh his OPS is under 3.000 now
-
Piggy. Curve in the dirt. i say howry if he feels loose and able to face another batter or two.... otherwise i go with piggy.
-
looks like there is one cell just to the west that may just clip wrigley, then it should be dry. this one will be finished tonight, no doubt.
-
i'm listening to pat & ron and corey provis said, while reading "other scores", said there was a delay in the Texas at Minnesota game... what the hell?
-
this will be done in 15 minutes tops
-
they're not calling the game, if anything there's going to be a short delay
-
juan encarnacion sucks, how come he hits us well
-
saw that coming a mile away
-
who are the sox?
-
I don't want them to do this because if the catching situation consists of a veteran and Soto, you know who's going to get most of the playing time (see Cliff Floyd vs Matt Murton). So you'll have Soto play 40 games while some has-been gets most of the action.

Cameron Maybin has struck out in nearly 30% of his ABs as a professional. I don't know anyone who doesn't have a chubb over him as a prospect. Jack Cust strikes out in nearly a third of his ABs, and he's been a decent hitter at the big league level this year. Soto will strike out... he always has, and this year's strikeout rate is really no different than his K rate in other years in the past. He's still walking at a godo rate (nearly 12% of his PAs) and has added good power (49 XBHs) this year, so it's not as if he's striking out a lot and putting up Juan Pierre numbers in his non-strikeout PAs. As long as he keeps a patient approach at the plate and hits for some pop, I'm not worried that he strikes out at a pretty high clip.

no he's not. He's not? okay I misread badnews' post. But I don't like K/AB... I prefer K/PA.
