August 7, 201510 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Aug 6, 2015 -> 11:01 PM) can you envision him hitting something like 15 hrs and a avg of 270?? That seems about right.

August 7, 201510 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Aug 7, 2015 -> 12:01 AM) can you envision him hitting something like 15 hrs and a avg of 270?? In 2012 in a full minor league season tyler hit 9 HR. 2013, 500 PA season, 5 HR. 2014, season was cut short, was on pace for about 15 HR in a full season at Charlotte. 2015, 25 year old at Charlotte, 4 HR in 231 PA - on pace for about 9, although he got off to a slow start while recovering from injury. HR numbers from the minors don't translate directly but they're often instructive. He hits some HR on occasion but usually guys who hit 5-10 in most of their minor league seasons don't come to the big leagues and suddenly start hitting 15 without some additional chemical enhancement. I'd say that 15 HR might be something he could hit once or twice in his career if he had a long, successful big league career, but it seems like a stretch to expect him to come close to that very often.

QUOTE (harkness @ Aug 7, 2015 -> 05:55 AM) Going by his minor league stats... he had one year where he hit 16 homers.. his batting avg has ranged from .245- .310 and that i my subtle point. with the idea of having a 3b who is a power hitter that many teams are looking for. so now it back to looking for a 3b man for next yr.
August 7, 201510 yr I think for some guys, hitting in the minors is harder for them. Saladino might be one of those guys.
