ThunderBolt Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 This probably belongs in the MILB thread. The Rock JR is like a younger D-Wheezey with slightly more pop. Kid raked last year, but he's 29. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JorgeFabregas Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 IIRC, there was a segment about father and son Tim Raines on SportsChannel Chicago in '94 or '95. The younger Raines was in high school then. Ah, the stupid things we remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bschmaranz Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 What's the knock on this guy? Why hasn't he ever been called up? His AAA numbers look pretty darn nice the last couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighurt4life Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 He's had 439 career stolen bases in the minors. I wonder what the record is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His AAA numbers look pretty darn nice the last couple years. He's a 29 year old in AAA. People here deride guys like Owens (27) or Cook (26) for being old, this guy is a few years older than that, and has spent a lot more years at AAA before figuring it out.

His AAA numbers look pretty darn nice the last couple years. He's also been putting up ok numbers in the PCL. He's prob just AAA fodder for life.

Like Jayson Nix. These are guys that will help the win totals in Charlotte, but if they are playing in Chicago, its garbage time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put more faith in the potential of Nix than that, he may actually turn out to be of some value. But I agree on Raines 2, he's AAA filler.

But I agree on Raines 2, he's AAA filler. Just remember, Nix compiled his numbers in Colorado Springs in his 3rd year of AAA. I think the team batting average was higher than his. I wouldn't expect much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the team batting average was higher than his. I wouldn't expect much. I don't think he is a starter, but, I think he may be a better choice for the bench this year to cover middle infield, than Lillibridge. Lilli could benefit from another year at AAA putting it back together (or trying too), whereas I think Nix is more ready to be part of the big club. Nix to cover SS, 2B, PR, with Betemit for the corners and DH and corner OF here and there, plus a 4th OF who loses the CF job or platoons, and the backup C.

He was a full time starter by age 27, he spent less than 2 full years in AAA. His biggest problem was injuries and getting out of A ball.
