ThunderBolt Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) Myrow's BB/K ratios are very impressive and coupled with decent pop he seems to be a good hitter. However, he's 32, 5’11 and shown absolutely nothing at the Major League Level. I imagine he'd be better served signing with a team like the Nationals or Braves. http://minors.baseball-reference.com/players.cgi?pid=10310 Kroeger was a pretty big name in the D-Backs organization, but was rapidly overtaken after a bad year and the emergence of Carlos Quentin. He’ll definitely make the starting lineup of Charlotte. Above-average arm, decent OF range, nice fluid swing, he’ll light-up Charlotte, predominantly because it lends itself to hitters like himself. http://www.baseball-reference.com/k/kroegjo01.shtml Restovich was log-jammed out of the Majors by the cadre of Twins Of’s that he came up with (Ford, Cuddyer, Ryan, ETC) He’s a lot like Kroeger, but with more speed, and a weaker arm. http://minors.baseball-reference.com/players.cgi?pid=30713.

caulfield12 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Eider Torres played extremely well in Winter Ball and has a very, very outside chance (5-10%) to make the team as the final bench player (if they decide that Lillibridge should be playing SS or Getz 2B everyday at Charlotte)... German used to be a top prospect and have a devastating fastball, but those days are long gone. Corky Miller and Chris Stewart will fight it out to be the back-up catcher, unless Cole Armstrong is incredibly impressive and they decide he wouldn't be better off playing everyday in the minors (see above). Van Benschoten everyone in baseball is very familiar with his career trajectory... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Eider Torres put up an over .300 average with what looked like some nice speed in a repeat of AAA. Santos looked like had some pop as well. Kroeger looks like he might be figuring it out as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walk over to the minor league complex. It should be all right in the same area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping we can get Luis A Gonzalez and Alex. S Gonzalez too. Have the Mariners signed Joshua Fields yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 We signed Greg A Harris or Greg W Harris? Which one was the ambidextrous dude? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
