2006 Princeton .286 2007 Hudson Valley .263 2008 Columbus .276 2009 Bowling Green .243 2009 Charlotte .271 2010 Charlotte .300 2010 Montgomery .277There are the numbers. Feel free to add any others you feel are important to consider. While he had a great first half in Charlotte last season, he's a career .250/.289/.400 hitter. To me those are not Top 30 prospect numbers for a corner IF/OFer.
He won't be on my list, which will be posted at some point this weekend. But feel free to try to change my mind! And have a nice holiday weekend.
his last 2 years look awsome to me. he seems very durable too. so whats the big argument for?
ReplyDelete.236/.258/.389 in 2009 is awesome to you?
ReplyDeleteKevin, maybe you should write a five page report for these people on how the second stat is OBP and why having a .258 or a low 300's is not good/awful. And look at that awful slugging in 2009.
ReplyDeleteI can add in league or team averages for all his seasons if that would help, I just used 2010's cause they were handy.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I want to make clear, this is nothing against Henry as a person, from what I've heard (from more than one person), he's a great guy and teammate. I (and Kevin) are simply responding to the over-the-top criticism of Kevin leaving him off his list.
And quite frankly I wouldn't have a problem/huge disagreement with someone who put him on a top 30 list (somewhere in the 20s lets say), based on a feeling he's started to put it all together (like a personal breakout guy). That's fine, just like Kevin (and I will) have guys who haven't performed great yet on the field but we think they will, such as recent high draft picks and the young international guys Kevin listed (Guevara, Perez).
What I have a problem with is saying he's already THERE. A hunch that due to 2010 he's gonna have a great future, fine, that's an opinion. Insisting Kevin is an idiot for not seeing how he's already deserving, wrong.
Maybe that's what some of you are saying and I'm missing it, but taking shots at Kevin personally and cussing, I don't think I'm missing it.
I do find it interesting that just as we are discussing Wrigley, another guy who is basically the same age and plays the same position at the same level (Canzler was at AA all of 2010, Wrigley for 1/2 the year), was available for all 30 teams to sign. And Canzler had a much better overall season last year! Now I don't know much about Canzler, maybe he's available because he committed some heinous crime or something, but I assume not. Just odd timing.
Anyway, if a very similar player is available for nothing, and he was better in 2010, I don't think that helps the Wrigley-is-Top-30 argument.
the money lies with the RBIs. and it seems he has a heck of a lot of them the past 2 years.
