ron883 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Kelenic with a robust -1.0 fWAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Kelenic went 0-6 tonight and he's having one of the strangest rookie seasons I've ever seen. It really seems like most young hitters gained nothing from being at the alternate site last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 -1.1 fWAR, -2.1 runs with the glove a 29% K rate and according to Mariners fans has developed a bad hitch in his swing. I appreciate a historically bad rookie year. He's got a long off-season of improving to get up to just "bad". We've seem turnarounds with young players here so it can happen but yea, he's been a train wreck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boopa1219 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I have no worries about Kelenic long term. Five tool players always take a long time to develop, look at Luis Robert and Jo Adell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right...do other prospects around the league also need a thread here? .160 average, .245 OBP, .291 slugging is a pretty low bar for a thread here. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Trammell has out produced Kelenic on his own team. .160/.256/.615 with 8 homers in 178 PA vs. .160/.239/.523 with 8 homers in 253 PA This is now the Taylor Trammell thread. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 They'll probably be playing winter ball, because that's what real champions who grind year round do ?. Don't doubt the greatness ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 It is a weird thread, but he's still very young and has a ton of talent. He'll figure something out. If Seattle wanted to trade him, I'm sure the Sox would love to have him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominikk85 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I wonder if all the talk about service time manipulation and that mariners exec who Later resigned who basically admitted service time manipulation played a role here. Mariners fans where saying all season he is just Service timed and should be up now and expected him to be an immediate star like tatis or acuna. There was a lot of pressure on him and also probably himself proving that the Mariners were wrong and then came that big 1 for 50 slump or whatever that was, maybe he developed a little mechanical glitch and then was unable to get out of it. Some players take time to develope but it is not that he was super raw. In AAA he struck out just 15%. It is normal that k rate jumps 4-5 ticks in the majors compared to AAA but a doubling in the K rate should normally not happen. I think he just needs an off season to work a bit on his mechanics and get his head right and he should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is a thing because many here wanted us to draft him in 2018 instead of Madrigal. @Lillian was the sole advocate of India.
