April 17, 20187 yr Author Blake Rutherford with a double in the 1st inning. Now batting .353 on the season.
April 18, 20187 yr QUOTE (KnightsOnMintSt @ Apr 17, 2018 -> 07:19 PM) Blake Rutherford with a double in the 1st inning. Now batting .353 on the season. the average is nice but is this "untapped power" ever going to show up?
April 18, 20187 yr Hitting prospects have been pretty quiet tonight with the exception of Rutherford's RBI double: Collins 0-1, K, BB Zavala 0-1, K, BB Basabe 0-3 Adolfo 0-3 Sheets 0-3 Yrizzari is 2-3 and Mercedez has a HR
April 18, 20187 yr As long as Rutherford's BA/OBP are solid...I wouldn't worry too much about the power, YET.
April 18, 20187 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 12:41 AM) Henzman with a rough start. Pulled after two innings & six runs. Non earned. Basabe just homered
April 18, 20187 yr QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 01:03 AM) Basabe wants some of that Robert hype. He reminds me so much of De Aza at the plate
April 18, 20187 yr QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 17, 2018 -> 07:43 PM) the average is nice but is this "untapped power" ever going to show up? Four doubles in nine games is improvement vs last year. And the kid is still a twig, more power will come as he fills out. It’s going to take time though.

The good news is the K rates have been pretty solid for all of them.
April 18, 20187 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2018 -> 08:02 PM) Non earned. Basabe just homered Fathom, you have MILB.TV right? Is it normal that so many games aren’t televised?
April 18, 20187 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 02:12 AM) Fathom, you have MILB.TV right? Is it normal that so many games aren’t televised? Not quite sure but a bit disappointed so far. Tonight was a night I definitely would have watched W-S
April 18, 20187 yr Luis Gonzalez with a nice rebound from the golden sombrero yesterday. So far he’s 2/3 on the night with a grand slam
April 18, 20187 yr Luis Gonzalez turning it around, 2-4 with a home run. And Yurchak as well, 1-1 with 2 BBs
April 18, 20187 yr Stop me if you've heard this, but Collins needs to swing the bat. Two called 3rd tonight. First was right down the plate
April 18, 20187 yr I have no idea how accurate MILB Gameday is, but Adolfo just took four pitches that were barely balls for a walk. He really seems way more selective this year.

April 18, 20187 yr What free agent catchers are available after 2019? Here's the list for after THIS year, depending on what happens with Castillo (maybe he goes to DH part time)? Drew Butera (35) Robinson Chirinos (35) — $2.375MM club option with a $100K buyout A.J. Ellis (38) Tyler Flowers (33) that would be hilarious if we brought him back into the fold Yasmani Grandal (30) Nick Hundley (35) Jonathan Lucroy (33) Martin Maldonado (32) Jeff Mathis (36) Brian McCann (35) — $15MM club/player option Devin Mesoraco (31) Miguel Montero (35) Wilson Ramos (31) Rene Rivera (35) Kurt Suzuki (35) Matt Wieters (33) source: mlbtraderumors.com Edited April 18, 20187 yr by caulfield12
