Szczur: 2-7, 2R, 1K, 0BB

Olt: 1-4, 3K, 0BB - Very slow start with the Cubs organization.

The K's by Olt are very disturbing.

The K's by Olt are very disturbing.

 

It's probably just the vision thing acting up.  Ball players don't really need to see.  Do they?

Another Javy bomb

[rok]

Impressive that he's OPSing almost .900 with some ugly secondary stats mixed in there. Hopefully he can get his BA up to something respectable. Then his numbers would be absurd.

[funkster]

His walk rate will is slowly improving.  Hopefully his BA can creep up like it did at the beginning of the season.  He started out awful.

[chshdsck]

In his last 10 games, he's had 10 hits....7 of them are HRs. And during that same time frame, exactly half of his outs are made via the strikeout. Seems to be a HR or strikeout kind of hitter so far in Tennesse.

 

However, like Funk said about his walking, he's been averaging a walk/game in his last 6 games. Which is an improvement.

 

I would like to see some of his K's turn into simple base hits, which would do wonders for his average.

I wonder how many of those BB are of the intentional variety.

FanGraphs has him at 9 BB and 0 IBB.

[rok]

That's good to know and impressive.

[funkster]

I believe he's either tied or one away from tying the most HRs in all of the minors.

Looks like he is 8th. Although I don't know anything about the AAA Mexican league.

[funkster]

I don't believe the Mexican League counts, though I could be wrong.  

 

EDIT:Now I'm fairly certain i'm right....lol Jorge Cantu.
