A question about Kris Harvey

[Guest Guest]

To all the guys in the know about Kris Harvey...is he still hitter well? And any chance of a callup to Carolina this year? If not, how far do you think he will advance?

[Fishfan79]

He is the next coming of Miguel Cabrera. I am not just saying that because he is a legacy and my baby marlin though

 

:thumbup

 

His bat isnt tearing it up but he has been solid for the year so far. He has a killer arm and potential to be good. But he is 22 and playing at A ball. He needs to prove he can move up and get it together to really progress into future plans.

 

I would love to see him get some time at 1B perhaps if Jacobs keeps struggling he could have a future there. But, it might be a waste of that killer arm he has.

it was a joke

 

honestly he could develope into a solid OF player thought defensively and with the bat.

19/3 K/BB is alarming.

19/3 K/BB is alarming.

 

 

Are you sure those aren't Abercrombie's numbers? No wait, the k's would be much higher.

[Flamarlins3]

Harvey is in a horrible slump

 

I don't have the numbers but his past 15-20 games have got to be below the mendoza line.

I'm Pullin' for the Kid ! (Harvey) but he gets an extremely late jump on the balls hit to the outfield. He seems to be turning possible outs into base hits for the opposing team. It looks like he would be a better infielder. He does have a good arm and can run but does need a better eye at the plate. He still has a lot to prove if he wants to move quick through the system.

Carolina, I doubt it this year. Maybe next year but thats pretty optimistic.

Between Harvey, Cabrera and Sanchez we better get extraordinary fielders to plug up the middle

[Guest Guest]

You can work on defense. He'll always have that cannon.

 

Hopefully his big bat is for real.

 

Where do people see him ending the season?

[Beinfest4Prez]

If he can really get his offense going...High A to get a taste of better pitching.

I thought High A was a hitter's league?

[Beinfest4Prez]

FSL is a big time pitcher's league.

FSL is a big time pitcher's league.

 

So Gaby's recent streak is kinda meaningless?

[Beinfest4Prez]

No, it isn't. Because there are pitchers who do get litup in the league.

[Eddie Altamonte]

In the minors is not always about putting on the huge numbers it is about developing skills and abilities...Harvey is right on track...He will make his Dad and all us Marlin's fans proud soon enough

[Guest Guest]

What is his ETA you think?

[Guest Fritz]

July 2008

[Fishfan79]

do you think by then he will be moved to a different position?

[Guest Guest]

I'd hope not.

 

I might be wrong, but with the rocket launcher he has, I assume he is penciled in @ LF in the near future.

 

My guess would be Willingham or Jacobs gets 1B permanently and the other is moved, when Harvey is ready. Might be wrong though.

[Ralph]

Harvey's K/BB ratio is alarming and if he doesnt improve that he isnt going to be much more than a 4th of.

[Guest Guest]

Meh, he has time to work on that. As far as I know, he is still in low A.
