July 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 04:42 PM) Mitchell with a triple in his first AB. Signs of life? a HR, 2 2B, 1 3B, and 3 BB's since yesterday. the optimist in me is saying that he figured something out.
July 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 06:42 PM) Mitchell with a triple in his first AB. Signs of life? A slow start wasn't really a surprise after missing a year, and being a level too high after not playing full time baseball before.

Or is rounding back into shape. He had the looks of a real good player before just a terrible injury. I, for one, am not surprised of his struggles. You don't miss an entire year of baseball and come right back in like nothing happened. I think he has time to get the rust off, so if he hits from July on, I think he will re-establish himself as a legit prospect. It won't happen, but how cool would an OF of Walker-Thompson-Mitchell be? That range would be insane. But that will never happen, and most likely 2/3 will completely bust.

July 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 08:58 PM) Danks was 1/1 with a BB, SB. 9/10 in SB now. Make that now 2/2, with 2 BB, 2 2B. 10/11 in SB.
July 6, 201114 yr My boy Semien with a very nice game. 3/4, 2B, HR, 2 RBI. I think he may be my AAP if he hasn't already been scooped up.

Plus the guy is a full time baseball player for the first time in his life.

I was very upset when we traded Reed. I actually liked the McCarthy-Danks deal when it was made. I viewed it as a long-term move, but I never thought it would turn out as well as it has.

Earlier in 1999 when Cameron scored from second on a sac fly, I was hooked. But, glad to have Paulie and that World Series Grand Slam.

I am still hoping for his success at aaa.

Yes he has to take a while to adjust to the league. I'm not as high on him as some here (more of a projected utility type in the future from most reports, not to mention guys have killed AA pitching and not had the same success with a level jump before) but he needs time. Sox are batting him second (and played him at 3B in that game ironically) so that's a great way for him to get more at-bats in Charlotte.

July 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 10:40 AM) Trying to remember.... Do you have details? The Mets signed him for 4 years $32 million. We offered him something like 3 years and $18 million.

My girlfriend's brother caught his Homerun ball last night. I had the pleasure of going with him to give it to Marcus. Seemed like a great guy! Can't wait to see what else he has in store.
