June 9, 201213 yr Thompson was 3/4 and still at only .218. Wow. 8 homers and 42 RBI's on the season, at least he's making his hits count, there's that. Sanchez hitting .330 but OPS still under 800. Not easy to do. Edited June 9, 201213 yr by caulfield12
June 9, 201213 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 10:53 PM) Sanchez hitting .330 but OPS still under 800. Not easy to do. He was the 3rd youngest player in the league entering the season and is a middle infielder. Not sure why you think a lack of power is surprising.

I have never seen him play, but he's gotta be considered a prospect, based on his offensive stats.

June 9, 201213 yr QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 10:37 AM) Yeah, I think Carlos has replaced TSalad as our best infield prospect. Plenty young to develop sufficient power going forward. And he doesn't even need to develop that much power if his plate discipline continues to improve. What I love about him compared to someone like Eduardo Escobar is that he's able to draw walks fairly well, even at such a young age. That makes me believe he'll continue to improve in that area.
