AA Southern League 15 Home Runs (1st in league) 6 were to RF 13 Doubles 02 Triples 30 XBH (1st in league) 46 RBI (1st in league) 39 Runs Scored (2nd in league) 114 TB (1st in league) 77 SO (1st in league) .573 SLG% (2nd in league) .891 OPS% (4th in league) .318 OBP% (2nd highest of career) Grounded into only 2 double plays in 53 games played (if there is a plus side to striking out - haha). 13 games left in the 1st half of season. Any guess on what his first half numbers might look like come June 23rd? How will they have compared to Vargas numbers last year in AA? His HR totals lead all of minor league baseball I believe? These stats have been accomplished batting in the back part of the line up (7th) for most of the season (although he batted 4th today).

Walkers Isolated Power is rediculus .304
-
Arcia had a .229 ISO in AA and a .103 ISO in MLB this season Vargas had a .191 ISO in AA and a .114 ISO in MLB this season Dozier had a .183 ISO in AA and a .223 ISO in MLB this season Rosario had a .128 ISO in AA and a .137 ISO in MLB this season Plouffe had a .141 ISO in AA and a .193 ISO in MLB this season Arcia had great minor league numbers and his ISO got worse while Dozier had ok minor league numbers and raised his ISO as a MLB regular. What will be the fate of the guys on this leaderboard?
-
Neither of these guys is hitting over .250 BA. Imagine when they truly start to figure it out. These ISO numbers are outstanding. Isolate Power (IsoP): Adam Brett Walker (.286), Byron Buxton (.240), Miguel Sano (.233), Rating ISO Excellent 0.250 Great 0.200 Above Average 0.170 Average 0.140 Below Average 0.120 Poor 0.100 Awful 0.080

Sweetest swing out there

Best in Southern League.

Kepler is Jim Edmunds like. Just smooth.

What average would Walker need by July 1st in order to get his first ever mid season promotion? Assuming he continues power numbers.
-
Walker is consistent with similar stats at every level. Other guys most definitely have the better OBPs, but he generally has 20 more HRs and 40 more RBI than those guys. He also consistently scores more than them despite getting on base less. This was brought up in the past and seems to be somewhat true. Maybe he should be judged on his merits alone and not the norm? What he does is not typical by any means.

Any word on Dalton HIcks? Any word on the other pitcher of the Chattanooga doubleheader tomorrow?
-
It would probably translate to more strikeouts. That's why they put him in AA. To learn and get better. I'm just stating that is nice to see the upside (power) at a higher level (AA) as he works on refining his glaring flaw (contact). 110 more games to do so before we have to decide on 40 man roster spot - Keep hope alive folks. Maybe this is the level he repeats next year if he can't make adjustments. Or he does the same thing at AAA next year while working on that Zone recognition. Only management knows.
-
Walkers overall numbers are not pretty, but they are consistent throughout the years. He leads the Southern League in HRs and Extra Base Hits (62% of his hits are XBH). He is second in the league in SLG; and Total Bases. He leads the league in K's but has the same amount of BB as Polanco. Neither walks much. Everyone expected him to struggle along with most of the Lookout players as they took that step up to AA. I expect the Power stays the same as he figures out the strike zone this season. For me - All signs are pointing up. Walker is on pace for: 35+ HR / 30+ 2B / 275 TB / 200 K / 100+ RBI and in AA. And that is if he doesn't figure it out!

He is successful at every level and we should allow him to fail (LOOGY and all) before we assume he will not do well at higher levels. Dude just wins

Promote Brett Lee to the Lookouts and watch those guys take off. He is the missing piece to their championship run, He's been with these guys for 2 championships in 3 years and had the best record on the staff the one year they didn't win the championship. Bret Lee - Brett Lee - Brett Lee.

Has Ryan spoken to any newspaper in Chattanooga about club and especially Buxton? Since he's been there.

Adam Brett Walker: Is this a better or worse season than last year thus far? Last year in High A, thru May 8th (33 games), Walker's stat line read: 5 HR, 2 2B, 19 RBI, 40 K's, 9 BB, and a .225 BA. This year in AA, thru May 8th (24 games), Walker's stat line reads: 7 HR, 6 2B, 16 RBI, 37 K's, 7 BB, and a .247 BA Walk rate better, K rate not so much. Production no question IMO.

I heard Mike Gonzales had to be scratched from game (Lookouts) yesterday. Any news. Also heard Terry Ryan was at game - Any comments from him while at game?
-
Is there any word on how Levi Michael is doing? He was just starting to heat up. He was carted off the field. Appeared to be a knee issue based on announcer last night and above video. Any news?
-
Who would have thought? ABW II is 5th overall in OBP on Lookout roster behind Hicks - Wickens - Michael & Harrison respectively. And ahead of Buxton - Polanco - Sano - Turner - Gonzalez & Kepler. Even with the slow Lookout start, I wouldn't have thought that. The crazy part is he is doing slightly better batting 7th than he did batting 4th (as he did in previous years). His team is not playing as well however, with him batting 7th. The Lookouts had seemed to be taking a page out of the MLB teams playbook with their RIGHTY / LEFTY / RIGHTY / LEFTY / ETC. lineups through the first 15 games. Now they seem to have changed things up slightly. Thank God for Dalton Hicks and his return to 2013 production level. Another under appreciated prospect.

Just go to the Box Score at the end of each teams summary to get their stats. They already provide the stats at the end of each Minor League report.

4 home runs in 8 Games @ AA Chattanooga ABW
-
Walker hit a monster shot tonight in Chattanooga. The left fielder didn't even move. Harrison looks to be having an excellent year. Timely hitting so far.
-
Buxton; Sano; Walker; & Polanco are on a 45 HR (a piece) pace if they play 135 games this year - Lol @ 1 every 3 games pace GO LOOKOUTS 1st in HRs 2nd in OBP 2nd in OPS 2nd in SB 1st place in division Recipe for offensive success

The Lookouts first series against the Montgomery Biscuts (Tampa Rays) will not be an easy series. Tampa has the best defensive Catcher - O'Connor (Top 100) in the minors based on National Rankings and one of the best SS - Robertson (Top 100) in the minors. They also have 2 outfielders who are 1st rounders playing on their team. Their 3rd baseman (Shafer / 1st rounder) won the Cape HR derby in college and hit 19 last year at AA. Their 2B led the FSL last year in hitting (Reginatto). So before we dub them Champions - let's watch how the first series unfolds. That's why they play the game . Not sure how good their pitching is however. Tune in to some serious MiLB TV Thursday.

Did anyone see minor league games today?
