SoCalTiger Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 If you command the strike zone you should know when to hack. Maybe Mallory’s obp will fall and his slugging increase ? 250-325-475 works as stated by 337 earlier. And better 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hint: he played several years in the Majors. MLB career OBP was sub .300. It’s gotta be someone who was talked up as a top prospect who ultimately exposed at the major leagues but we still gave too many at bats to, like Jacoby Jones or Don Kelly or Harold Castro, someone like that.

gehringer_2 Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 (edited) To circle back to Malloy - for a guy who whose zone discipline is good enough to walk 100 times, he has a fair amount of trouble finding the ball when it's in the zone - 152 Ks to go with the 110 walks. I assume the Tiger stat nerds found comps that made them interested in picking him up, but it's an unusual profile to say the least - I could see him being anything from a useful player to a >35% K washout.

I was just thinking about this some and coming back to say no way could it be Harold Castro because he couldn’t have had that kind of separation between his on base and batting average.

Edman85 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) Gonna remind people in as many spots as I can before they fly off the handle over the Tigers still staying out of the deep end of this pool despite Harris and Metzler taking over. Most of the high end deals signed today were agreed to 2-3 years ago. Even if they wanted to reverse course, that isn't happening. The new facility and ensuing upgrades in the DR are no small investment, likely exceeding a year or two of Miguel Cabrera's salary when all is said and done, which should help the churn of some of these players, but we are talking 3-4 years before that machine is up and running, and another 5+ until those guys are knocking on the big league door. There really are no fast answers down there, short of a shift in priority in the types of players signing to five-digit bonuses you want.
