NorthSideSox72 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 5, 2012 -> 01:52 PM) Wilkins is 8 for his last 17 with 3 HR, with 9 RBI in his last 3 1/2 games. Came back from DL on 5/30. After two weak games, so far in June (5 games): .429/.478/.952/1.430, including 3 home runs. 3 K vs 2 BB. Pedro Hernandez with a short and less than stellar outing. KW Jr hitting leadoff, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 5, 2012 -> 02:54 PM) You laugh, but he's legitimately hot right now. He's gotten his average up to the .220's. Yes, he's been hot lately. No, he doesn't belong where he is, starting and leading off. That's why I laughed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Wilkins w/ another hit. 2/4 today. Didn't realize Saladino was such a good basestealer. He stole his 22nd base already, and has only been caught twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither is too old at this point, and the speed makes them interesting. Edited June 5, 2012 by Stan Bahnsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Saladino doesn't seem to like hitting in Birmingham. His away OPS is almost .200 higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tossed Salad I don't believe is all that fast, his tools are pretty average across the board and this is the first year he's done anything on the basepaths. If i were to guess I'd say that hes probably just been really working on getting good reads and good jumps as by all reports he's a very heady player. Maybe JPN can say what kind of foot speed he has. Edited June 6, 2012 by bighurt4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Ravelo is 3/3 with a SB. Up to .332. Time to move him up to High-A WS, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Trayce with a HR, 4 RBI. Very nice start by Arroyo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Usually players like Ravelo are moved after they've had an opportunity to get the reward of playing in their league's All-Star games. Caesar Saladino is more of a "heady" basestealer, that might fly in the minors, but it won't translate at the major league level to much more than 12-15 steals. Mitchell always bunches his K's and walks together, this time, 3 K's in one game. Edited June 6, 2012 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravelo is barely above .800 with his OPS. He's far from dominating. He should stay in Kanny all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. He's only 20 and his power numbers still aren't that great. Let him play out the year and move him to W-S next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Have to agree that Ravelo doesn't need to move up just now, he's still just 20. Needs to develop some power. No rush. Kevan Smith was pulled for a pinch hitter after 1 AB, a double. Hopefully no injury there, or at least nothing serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree, and agree with Caulfield. Let Ravelo stay at Kanny thru the All Star Game. Unless he goes into a slump or gets hurt between now and then, send him up to W-S. We don't know how good this kid is. With all our troubles at third, we need to push him along. Rockies have a 20 year old at third base in AA, and he is doing well. There are others at his age doing well in all classifications, including the majors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe JPN can say what kind of foot speed he has. You don't steal 22 bases in less than 50 games with below average speed. He's on pace for around 70 I believe. He has good speed, nothing spectacular, but still solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
