JUMBO REPORT! Outfielders
I don't have any good idea's for the order to do these guys in. I could do positions, but you know, I'm part of the, an outfielder is an outfielder, group. If you can play left, you can play right.
Carl Rondeau
25 years old
.306/.358/.484
8 homeruns 44 RBI's 21 stolen bases
Has played mainly leftfield all season, and played well to boot. Bats 5th in the lineup usually, though has the speed to hit at the top of the lineup, but doesn't draw enough walks for my liking.
Doug Gage
24 years old
.279/.361/.617
25 Homeruns, 77 RBI's 11 stolen bases
In a bit of a slump, (.222 in June), but has kept his power up, and played good defense. The average will probably hover around the .270 range for the rest of his career, but he should be a perennial 40 homerun guy. He really carried the offense in April, when the team was struggling to get runs across.
Shannon Comerford
23 years old
.261/.306/.461
9 Homeruns 34 RBI's 12 stolen bases
A speedster that is showing power that my scouts don't think he has, the power numbers are even more impressive, considering he has just 180 at bats, he's another guy that struggles, and therfore doesn't play against lefties.
Antonio Salavona
25 years old
.197/.260/.273
2 Homeruns 15 RBI's
Started out the season playing a lot, before a promotion in the system, but is still valuable since he plays all defensive positions above average, and has good speed.
John O' Carrol
22 years old
.310/.370/.405 with the A's
.289/.373/.378 in AA Midland
Has taken over Salavona spot has primary outfield backup, and plays against lefties in right field. A singles hitter all the way, could stand to be a tad better in the field, but a .300+ average, doesn't have me complaining.
Down on the Farm:
A 22 year old, R.A. Borner is having a hell of a start in AAA Sacramento: .306/.375/.428. He has good speed, 14 stolen bases, and is a decent outfielder, and could see time should any injuries occur, another guy in the Sacramento outfielder is Dino Galceran, who saw 7 atbats with the big league club this year, and got one hit. Is hitting .298 with 14 steals with AAA, and is hitting leadoff. Patricio Avenado, a 33 year old I grabbed on waivers from the Royals, was having a great year in AAA Omaha, with a .296 average and 10 homeruns. But the moment he put on the Rivercats jersey, he's 2-21.
Chris Staten, a AA outfielder tore through single-A Kane County hitting .425/.535/.637 in 80 at bats, but the 23 year old hit a wall once he got to AA , hitting just .215 in about the same number of atbats.
A 24 year old, Walt Charlwood, is tearing up Rookie League pitching, .462 in 29 atbats, but that's hardly anything to write home about, at 24 years old, except for Mr. Charlwood.
