djm305 Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 In Strikeouts.. NOT good, he is striking out way to much 42 K's in 166 AB's he's on pace to strike out about 160 times this year. :confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libelula Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Take the good with the bad. The difference between him and A-Gon/Castro is that he actually has a lot of upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I don't really care at all. First off he's only 21 so its not like he won't learn better palte patience as he has already shown with his large number of walks (compared to last season). Count me in the not worried hes doing awesome file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 As long as he's only doing this at 21 and as long as he knocks the crap out of the ball I could care less. BTW: Pierre hasn't K'ed all but 7 times this year. HOW A'BOUT THAT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamrock Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 It still kinda hurts my brain to decipher that sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBMarlin Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Cabrera is also leading the team in RBIs with 30. What can you say? He's young and will get better as he gains experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamrock Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Another thing about strikeouts. Everyone Ks in this new era of HR baseball. If you look at the numbers HR hitters strikeout a lot more than non-HR hitters. So, unless you want a bunch of pencil stickers you will have to deal with some Ks, which actually arn't as bad as people make them out to be. Its just another form of getting out. As long as the player is walking to get on base at a steady clip (see Sea Bass and Castro for examples of players who cant walk, but strikeout a bunch) then hes in good shape.

Flamarlins3 Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Yeah I wouldn't worry about that. He is learning. He struck out a bunch last year too, but hey it's better than Presten trying to get 200 right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Lowell is pretty good in that regard. He's hitting homers, but really doesn't K a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
