    how have we not included prince's similarly fat, similarly black dad into this?

    moustakas' ratio was 34 bb/67 k in 534 plate appearances last year. vitters has 21 bb/52 k in 465 plate appearances this year, and that's an improvement over previous years. Fair enough. I'm still far less worried about Vitters' ability to make contact than I am with Moustakas, and I'd still take Vitters in the long run. right, but that doesn't make a lot of sense. moustakas struck out in 15.4% of his minor league plate appearances. that's not a high number, and he's striking out at a lower rate in the majors. vitters has struck out in 14.9% of his minor league plate appearances. we're talking about a difference of half a percent. where are you getting this idea that moustakas is a wind machine with significant contact issues?

    i didn't look up when moose was born because i didn't care. so vitters is OPS'ing below .800 at the same age that moose posted a 1.000 ops at the same level and a higher level, and vitters is a bad defender at third base which cuts into his already marginal offensive value. there's the argument.

    21 and 11 months, now 22.
  6. TruffleShuffle
    Why? Because he's more touted right now? that and the 1.000 ops he posted in AA/AAA at age 21 while vitters has an ops below .800 in AA at age 22. and vitters is a bad fielder.

    mike trout has 2 homers tonight and already has 5 in 63 mlb at bats. just turned 20 earlier this month. i think he's going to be good.

    Even when Mo was in his early 30s, he was OPSng in the 800s and hitting near 30 HR. I'll definitely take that in the final years of a 6-7 year contract. in that offensive environment it wasn't all that impressive - 119 ops+ at age 31 and 115 ops+ at age 32. i sure as hell don't want to be paying a lousy defensive 1b $20m a year to put up lyle overbay-type production. If he he can be an elite heart of the order hitter for the first 4-5 years, and help us to a championship or 2, I'll take it. That's the risk you're going to take when giving a guy that long of a contract. he's age 30 in year 3. year 4-5 he'd be at the age when mo vaughn started to not be an impact player. years 6-7 would probably be worthless following that trend.

    has he also set the boise club record for strikeouts? he really does stick out in our system of impatient contact hitters... he's the only real TTO guy, at least that i can think of.
  11. TruffleShuffle
    Did you miss his 2011? 3.68 ERA, 10.02 K/9, 3.00 GO-AO you left out the 1.52 whip and the RA near 6.
  12. TruffleShuffle
    you'd think the fact that ackerman has been bad since signing would be relevant information.
  13. TruffleShuffle
    ok i'm not that high on moustakas but not trading him for vitters would be insane.
  14. TruffleShuffle
    That's not going to end well. And that makes me happy. Stupid Eagles. is he going to become a bad quarterback? or will he start up bad newz again? He's going to get killed. well then they're out from under his contract, so that's not a bad thing.
  15. TruffleShuffle
    well he's been pretty bad for kc. granted he's still young and there's room to improve, but i guess the poster just doesn't think he's as good a prospect as most people think he is. i'm kind of in the same camp... i think there's a pretty good chance that he's a bust.

    believe it or not, both of daytona's games were rained out.
  17. TruffleShuffle
    (a) he's 34 years old and his ERA should be over a run higher than it is. (b) matt kemp, jordan zimmermann, carlos beltran, etc

    bonus baby miguel sano has a .290/.351/.634/.984 line in the appy league with 20 home runs and 43 XBH's in 65 games.

    but you'd say that prince fielder is in great shape? dude looks like there's something trying to escape from his jersey when he's running.

    russ canzler won the international league mvp... WAY TO GO HENDRY

    usually they only send real prospects to the AFL

    maples didn't even pitch in arizona, why would they have him pitch in boise? Agreed on Maples but why no VogelBOMB? (yeah I said it) because vogelbigfatass will be in arizona working to stay in shape.

    Yeah I don't agree that Castro has better range than Barney.
