Read this post on a Braves' message board...
If you remove the pitchers the team only has 151 strike outs
also if you remove the two guys not really playing much (Goss and CB -- they have the fewest AB's) then the team looks like this... Remove pathetic EY and the team looks like the second set of numbers..
AVG ---- .260 --- .269
OBP ----.334 ---- .344
SLG ---- .412 ----- .424
OPS ---- .746 ---- .768
this is excluding last nights game. pretty much our regular starters are raking right now. Those numbers include Gomes in there too, who really isn't a starter. If CB could pick up his game a bit this team could score some runs.
**edit** also, CB, EY and Goss have 24 ks to only 9 BB. That is 2 and a half Ks to every walk. Where the rest of the starters (excluding those three) have 127 Ks to 81 walks.. or 1.5 Ks to every walk.. that is a really big difference and the reason you don't see them in there much anymore. Like I said above. CB will play because of his defense and Julio pitching to him... so he needs to snap out of his <funk..
Yeah, but Peterson also has speed to beat out a lot more groundballs than Dunn to help his avg put a little bit. He's hasn't stolen much yet, but he's got 30-30 type potential.Quote:

O'dowd (AA)...
.432 avg .533 obp 1.310 ops
Ok, it's a small sample (37 ab's), but he's a switch hitter and has to be better offensively than bethancourt. Anyone seen this kid? How's his defense?

@MBravesRadio
Tyrell Jenkins fired six shutout innings last night. 6 H, 5 K, 2 BB, 97 pitches, 58 strikes #Braves @mbraves
Ozhaino albies -- SS (A)
.303 avg .356 obp 11 steals
The young (18) SS seems to be hitting well
It's A ball. And you didn't even clarify whether or not it's high A. No one gives a shit until AA. Wake us up when he gets there. You really need to chill and let things play out the next couple of seasons. We're going to suck, no need in checking on prospects all the way down to Single A every night.Quote:

Find a hobby. Kick your dog. Be a general baseball fan. But tracking prospects before AA is a little excessive.
Hell, come join some of us watching futbol. Pick an EPL team to follow. Watch the UEFA semis and finals. The Sounders are a fun MLS team to watch.
I don't have time. I've gotta check out Braves' rookie ball stats hahaQuote:

Fair enough.Quote:
