flavum Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Saladino and Thompson should be interesting to follow next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Wilkins has been very good as well. Love his patience. Won't turn 23 till September so he isn't too old at that level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't turn 23 till September so he isn't too old at that level. He's been very good his last 200 ABs or so. He needs to show consistent power going forward but he's a sleeper.

Cerbaho-WG Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Saladino a double shy of the cycle. In ~350 ABs he has 43 XBH. If he cuts down on his K totals just a bit...watch out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Viciedo hit both homers off of Delgado, who's pitched in the majors recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he cuts down on his K totals just a bit...watch out. His K's have gone down as the season has progressed. He started the season with a wrist or hand injury I believe and was striking out a lot but he has progressively gotten better in the K department. Right now he has a k rate of about 23% which isn't horrible, ideally he'll get it down under 20% which is a number I can live with, especially considering how much power he hits for and the fact that he has a decent BB rate too.

NorthSideSox72 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Every time I see Axelrod through another solid game, I keep thinking... is he for real, or is he Jack Egbert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 4 games: 10-for-15, 3 2B, 5 RBI, 2 BB / 2 K, SB May have just been a brief adjustment period for him when he first arrived, which is normal.

Going from Bristol to Great Falls shouldn't take an adjustment period. He probably was just pissed he had to go to Montana. Pro ball is a big lifestyle adjustment for these kids out of college. The time demand is greater and they're playing almost everyday and for a longer period of time. He could have just hit a wall and needed a break.

Yeah, when I said adjustment period, that doesn't necessarily mean just adjusting to the pitching talent he is facing. It is similar to going off to college - yeah the classes may or may not be tougher, but there is as you say, a lifestyle adjustment. He had to move across country and re-settle in a new setting. He also, as you said, could have just happened to hit a bad streak at that time. Hard to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
