August 16, 20223 yr Author Carlos Jiminez is 20 and in year 2 of DSL but he sure has hit the ball well. Also last night's ACL game. Eesh, props to Claunch for some walks, but boy our later round college hitters are K'ing a ton.

August 16, 20223 yr Author Bummer, Davis Martin was crushing it the first two innings then I guess lost it. but Carlos Perez hit another homer.

Though I imagine stolen base totals are pretty elevated in the minors and I haven't looked at his success rate. Edited August 17, 20223 yr by DirtySox

August 17, 20223 yr Just to give context to Colas' tear right now, his home run rate in Birmingham is 8.9 AB/HR. Here's the top 20 all time: Rank Player (age that year) AB per HR Year PA Bats 1. Barry Bonds (36) 6.52 2001 664 L 2. Mark McGwire (34) 7.27 1998 681 R 3. Josh Gibson+ (25) 7.80 1937 183 R 4. Mark McGwire (35) 8.02 1999 661 R 5. Mark McGwire (32) 8.13 1996 548 R 6.

Luke Voit (29) 9.68 2020 234 He's doing all that while sporting a .353/.439./920 line with a 9.2% walk rate and 23.5% strikeout rate. It's not like he's only hitting home runs. He's just fucking raking.

Especially when the Sox have such an obvious need for some LH thunder and a competent right fielder. They can't keep playing Eloy and Vaughn, or Sheets, in the same outfield.
