6/5 Games

Kuhn has really had a breakout season.

 

he looked like a slap hitter who barely projected as a utility infielder prior to this season.

 

Still need to see more. But he's playing like a guy who'll be a legit utility player -- or second baseman.

 

leading the southern league in hitting after today.

Interesting tidbit:

 

While looking at the Southern league batting champs in the last decade I discovered that they were all older than league average like Kuhn 24-29.

 

However, one current White Sox player finished 2nd with a .343 average at the age of 21 back in 2000. Can you guess who that was ?

 

 

Hint: He's currently batting .179.

The guy had three home runs and 47 doubles in his first 733 minor league at bats.

 

his slugging percentage the last two seasons has been sub .400.

 

pretty slappy to me.

 

he already has nearly as many doubles this season (15) as he did last season (17) in about half the at bats.

Kuhn is 24 which is right around the league average. I wouldn't call him old for the league.

KW2 continues to be the absolute joke of the entire farm system. That guy should be in Single A. Low A ball, not high A.

 

 

Kuhn, Marrero, Axelrod and Leesman should be promoted to AAA very soon. Leesman has what amounts to a full season in Birmingham from last to this year. Axelrod's K/IP ratio, not to mention his other peripherals, have been excellent. Kuhn and Marrero, well, nuff said.

 

Oops, forgot about Remenowsky. Him too.

 

Loman, Short, Phegley, Omogrosso and Edwards shouldn't be too far behind.

This org has a recent history of pushing guys up too fast.

He's nothing like a slap hitter at all. We're not talking about a David Eckstein type here. Think more Ryan Theriot or Maicer Izturis. He's played in all but one game this year, he didn't play everyday last year until the second half. He thrived in the leadoff spot at the end of 2010 and is doing even better this year. He's a prototype leadoff contact hitter.

You mean you're not impressed by The Busboy tacking on that 13th run with his first hit of the game and the team's 22nd hit in the top of the 9th in a 8 run game? That's clutch. It's so much worse in person, trust me.

 

Axelrod is on the DL, missing two turns in the rotation so far, so he's not going anywhere.
