rferry Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Willingham is en fuego .257/.402/.545/.947 Bring him up. That's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Willingham is en fuego .257/.402/.545/.947 Bring him up. That's all. Just for some perspective. No other catcher in the Southern League is even close to the numbers Willy is putting up. Closest to his OBP of 401 is Carlos Maldonaldo at 327. The closest catcher to his SLG of 529 is again Maldonaldo at 410. Wow. And the only other catcher close to him is Jeff Mathis in the Texas League, but he is still behind Willy in all categories. hmm.

rferry Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Also the Southern League isn't known as a hitter's league if I recall. I don't know how much the fact that pitchers bat in NL affiliates' parks has to do with that, but the ballparks are larger than the Eastern.

jonnylons Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 How is Willingham's defense though? Can he call a game? That is why he is still in AA at this point - needs more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rferry Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 How is Willingham's defense though? Can he call a game? That is why he is still in AA at this point - needs more time. If we won last year with a catcher who has questionable game-calling skills why not try it this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugg Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Also the Southern League isn't known as a hitter's league if I recall. I don't know how much the fact that pitchers bat in NL affiliates' parks has to do with that, but the ballparks are larger than the Eastern. I thought pitchers only hit when both affiliates were National League. I know Buffalo's pitchers didn't hit when they played at Scranton (Philly). Or the IL might just be all DH, I've never really checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanleylicious Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Good to see Willy getting his stuff together.... although IMO he needs to really get it going (which I think he will soon) before we should even consider bringing him up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I think Willingham is going to get the call to triple-A soon enough. If success occurs there, I can definately imagine a call to the big leagues in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramp Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 supposedly his defense isnt that amazing yet but he is a very good game caller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanleylicious Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 -Hutch got the loss tonight- went 2 innings gave up 6 runs on 5 hits...only 2 of them were earned though. He's now 5-3 with a 4.80 ERA. -Reed went 2-4 with a triple -Willy went 0-3 with a walk and a run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
