MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

[nakedman1664]

I don't remember the exact numbers, and currently too lazy to look them up, but I believe he has struck out in about 480 times in 1200 total at bats.

[funkster]

That's a lot.

[rok]

He seems like a LH Bryant.

[funkster]

His hit tool isn't considered to be as good as Bryant's.  There's a chance he won't be able to hit in the ML.

[rok]

So he is a LH Mike Olt?

[funkster]

Ha, could be.  He does have crazy pure power though.

[Runnys]

Ha, could be.  He does have crazy pure power though.

So did Dallas McPherson.

[Coldneck]

Russell Branyan

[funkster]

Preaching to the choir ladies.  I don't think he's going to do very well, but he could be a monster.

[Runnys]

Brandon Wood (I think that was his first name)

[ChubbyCubbie31]

I remember Dopirak had some pretty great power coming up in the Cubs system a while back. 

[rok]

Holy shit, I had hoped to never hear that name again. He did hit 160+ HR and SO over 800x in the minors, so that might end up being right on the money, except Dopirak was mostly a 1B. I stil think Gallo could end up being a decent player though.

My apologies Rok. 

 

I hang my head in shame

He's only 21.

I know, and I'm not a Gallo hater.
