Ramp Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I have been a pretty big fan of his for a few months now and this seems a bit rushed, as he's only 20 years old, and has been a CF for all of about 4 months (including the AZ Fall League). Still, he's been making tremendous strides with the bat - take note of the May and June numbers courtesy of the ussmariner site: April: .268/.286/.512, 82 AB, 22 H, 3 2B, 1 3B, 5 HR, 1 BB, 20 K May: .208/.263/.368, 106 AB, 22 H, 4 2B, 2 3B, 3 HR, 8 BB, 23 K June: .342/.405/.482, 114 AB, 39 H, 7 2B, 3 HR, 11 BB, 23 K July: .308/.419/.692, 26 AB, 8 H, 1 2B, 3 HR, 5 BB, 1 K Gotta think with Jeremy Reed getting hurt and Shin Soo Choo not being able to play CF that all the Mariners want him to do is worry about defense, and anything else is a bonus. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
