Gaby Sanchez Receives Mudcats Organization Awards

 

As the Carolina Mudcats head into the Southern League playoffs, the end of the regular season is when individuals receive special recognition for their accomplishments and efforts both on and off the field. This team is full of players who made impressive contributions on the field and future major leaguers, but has a few standout players.

 

 

 

We would like to recognize the post-season Southern League All-Stars as voted by the coaches, media, and broadcasters from each team in the league.

 

Carolina Mudcats representatives on the all-star team are

 

 

 

Outfielder ? John Raynor and

 

Second Baseman ? Chris Coghlan

 

 

 

The Mudcats would also like to recognize Gaby Sanchez, not only was he selected as the post season all-star first baseman, but also named the Southern League Most Valuable Player. Gaby has put together a tremendous season offensively, some of his accomplishments include:

 

 

 

Carolina Mudcats franchise record of 41 doubles

Top three in the Southern League in hits and RBI?s

A career high in stolen bases and homeruns, 17 of each

Topps Southern League player of the Month in July

Sanchez is also a remarkable defensive player at both first and third base, and was voted by Baseball America as the best defensive third baseman in the Southern League. Gaby is the first Carolina Mudcats league MVP since back to back winners in 1994 -1995, when first baseman Mark Johnson and catcher Jason Kendall won the award.

 

 

 

Along with league MVP honors Gaby has been selected as the recipient of the Carolina Mudcats Ed Hale and Willie Duke end of season awards. The Willie Duke award recognizes the player that best exemplifies Duke?s spirit and dedication to the national pastime both on and off the field. The Ed Hales award honors the person with the most unselfish attitude, dedication and commitment to the Carolina Mudcats community.

 

Gaby?s efforts have shone off the field through his enthusiasm for the Miracle League of the Triangle, his interaction with the youth teams here at Five County Stadium, his involvement in the Mudcats youth baseball clinics and various appearances in the community.

 

Congratulations and Thank you Gaby Sanchez on all of your accomplishments on and off the field! We wish you the best of luck in your baseball future.

No no no... let's judge him solely by his homeruns, not the fact he had 42 doubles.

Sorry, it is highly doubtful that Gaby's doubles A)turn into home runs, B)are as plentiful with better outfield defenses. Add into that he is a 10-15 HR guy, he essentially has no power, especially in the context of a first baseman.

o and in a stadium like dolhin stadium thoose double totals will if anything increase

Sorry

 

Apology accepted.

He still doesnt have much power. MLB outfielders are going to reduce his # of doubles, maybe in half, and his home run power=15 in his absolute best years.

every time you write something about Gaby he continue make you look pathetic.

but your right MLB outfielders are going to reduce his # of doubles they'll be home runs

I think 1/2 of doubles 21+15=36 home runs

You think Gaby Sanchez is going to hit 36 home runs, and you think I am pathetic? You are just a moron, no offense.

I think both of you are too extreme on your predictions of Gaby. But what do I know, I'm just some dude.

I dont really think my view is that extreme at all, as he is already 25 so it is doubtful that double power will start becoming HR power, it is likely better outfield defenses will cut down on his current # of doubles, and he has relatively little HR power as it is. Meanwhile, Marlins1 has compared Gaby to Albert Pujols, stated matter of factly that Gaby is a future all star and gold glover, and stated he will hit nearly as many home runs(36) at the major league level-per 162 game season-as he has hit in his entire MiLB career combined(40-in 370+ games so far). Marlins1 loses all sense of reality when discussing Gaby Sanchez.

Neither of you think that.

He dont because...well, I dont know. I dont because, well, I use stats and common baseball sense. He gets doubles right now at decent rate(1 every 12 at bats), which if it translates means 35-45 a year. But conversely, he gets a home runs at a putrid rate(one every 33 at bats), which translates to 10-15 a year.
