I searched pitch type and plate discipline on FanGraphs for all players with at least 100 PAs. Only Getz sees a higher percentage of fastballs than Fields (and it's less than 1% more) in terms of White Sox players. This is because Josh Fields cannot hit a fastball. If you were to only look at the percentage of fastballs for "power hitters", Fields would be near the top of this list. Fields is 4th worst in either league in terms of how often he makes contact with pitches which are in the strike zone. Fields only makes contact with 72% of pitches in the strike zone (this is quite low for a major league hitter), the next lowest on the White Sox is Jim Thome at 80%. Keep in mind Thome sees much fewer fastballs than Fields does. Fields' lack of contact is due to all the extra movement in his hands before the swing, his hitch. The hitch decreases his bat control and makes hitting fastballs belt-high or above more difficult. I expect pitchers to expoit this weakness more and more until Josh makes some kind of adjustment

Of the 110 starting pitchers with at least 30 IP this season Gavin Floyd ranks: 110th in ERA at 7.32 109th in WHIP at 1.88 109th in Hits allowed with 53 t-108th in Wild pitches with 5 105th in VORP at -4.9 65th in FIP (fielding independent pitching) 110th in BABIP (batting average on balls in play) He's sucked but been unlucky too

QUOTE (qwerty @ Apr 29, 2009 -> 07:06 PM) 51% of his hits last season went for an extra base hits which is phenomenal. But there is still a downside to him at this point Allen had a 6 to 1 k/bb rate in 2006 in his first go around with kannapolis. 126 strikeout to 22 walks. Allen had a 3 to 1 k/bb rate in 2007 in his second go around with kannapolis. 124 strikeouts to 39 walks. Allen had a 2 to 1 k/bb rate in 2008 between winston and birmingham last season. 124 strikeouts to 60 walks. While he is clearly on a upward trend with his walk rate he is yet to improve k'ing. One of three things need to happen in the minors before his is considered big time, he needs to raise his walk rate, lower the k rate, or even a slight combination of both. He needs most of this season if not all of this season in double a before we have an idea of what we have on our hands. It is almost assured he would exposed very bad if he were to come up at any point this season. A very nice positive for him though, he seems to be a better defender than most anyone realized. http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2009/4/4/...-base-prospects His K% is quite low the first month of this season. About 10%, or less than half of the rate Allen has struck out in previous years. Allen would strike out a lot if called up (probably 25%-30%), but exploit our small park and be the best replacement for a left-handed hitting 1B/DH-type if Thome missed significant time on the DL. I don't see it as detrimental to Allen's development

Bring up Allen

Yes, Jim Beam Club is the s hit. And the secret to getting those tickets is to wait until the week you want to go to the game (assuming it's not Sox/Cubs or something) and then they'll only be $180 apiece on StubHub opposed to > $300

Flash Tizzle was right. Breaking Bad is the best show on TV right now
