BearSox Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 14, 2008 -> 05:34 PM) Dammit Bearsox, quit your b****ing in the palehose forum and update this s***!!! Logan is raking ask, and you shall receive. So far through 34 games this season, Logan Johnson has had 38 hits, 5 homers and 16 RBI's. In the South Atlantic League, he ranks 10th with a BA of .328, 11th with a .397 OBP, and 8th with a .534 SLG, and 7th with an OPS of .931. Also, he has been HBP 4 times already this season. And he has a little speed and been 2 for 2 in his stolen base attempts. He's played primarily 3B this season, but he possesses the ability to play all along the INF. He might never be anything special, but he seems like the type you'd hate to doubt. Edited May 14, 2008 by BearSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
