QuickJones81 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Snodgress shelled. Not a good start to an important year for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (QuickJones81 @ Apr 5, 2014 -> 07:34 PM) Snodgress shelled. Not a good start to an important year for him. Just doesn't seem like he has that dominating type of stuff...maybe a 5th, but more likely long relief or set-up. Hawkins is the minor league version of Dunn...three outcomes (well, fewer walks). May and Barnum both struggling out of the gate, Barnum still hitless. Nice to see Anderson with all the extra base hits. Hopefully by the time he reaches the majors, he's a 15-18 homer guy with 30 steal potential. And, most importantly, sticking at SS instead of 2B or CF. Micah Johnson 2 for 3, but I don't think he's going to put up more than 50-60 steals this season in AA.

I'm not getting excited yet because we saw the exact same story last year. Look at his start to the year last season, he had like 10 HR after 25 games.

I don't think anyone has any idea as to what Hawkins is yet. It's a tad soon to be labeling him as a 3 outcome guy. And if he turns into that guy he will have a very successful career.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Here are Hawkin's Homers from the last nights and some video on Tim Anderson courtesy of Nathaniel Stoltz. Nathaniel Stoltz @stoltz_baseball 3h First, here's Courtney Hawkins' mammoth blast from yesterday: Nathaniel Stoltz @stoltz_baseball 3h You can't really see where the ball lands in the video. It ended up landing on the concourse to the right of the wooden roof. Nathaniel Stoltz @stoltz_baseball 2h Here's Courtney Hawkins' homer from tonight: … Note to Carolina League pitchers: No offspeed stuff in the zone to him! Here's the video: Also: Hawkins strikes out here but actually takes some breaking balls: Now onto Tim Anderson. Nathaniel Stoltz @stoltz_baseball 2h Took seven viewings to see it, but Tim Anderson's talent was crystal clear tonight on both sides of the ball. Nathaniel Stoltz @stoltz_baseball 2h Here's Anderson ripping a double to right-center: Nathaniel Stoltz @stoltz_baseball 2h And here Anderson pulls a single: Nathaniel Stoltz @stoltz_baseball 1h Here's Anderson going oppo for a triple: Everyone wanted him to go for the inside-the-parker.

flavum Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 That triple by Anderson. Oh my god. Hawkins--whatever he's doing, keep it up. Hopefully these guys play 135 games together and move it on up to Birmingham next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hawkins swing looks better. Anderson can flat out fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 It took Anderson 11 seconds to get from home plate to 3rd, and that's with him pulling up at 3rd. So we can safely assume he can make that trip in 10 seconds if there would have been a play at 3rd. That's pretty damn fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at his start to the year last season, he had like 10 HR after 25 games. No, I'm totally with you. That's what I was alluding to. He'll hit a ridiculous bomb and spend the rest of his at-bats flailing away at the same breaking ball away from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I prefer the CF view for Courtney's HR last night: http://www.milb.com/multimedia/vpp.jsp?con...99&sid=milb His swing is a lot quieter this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
