May 28, 201412 yr Carlos Lopez had a couple of great days there with the 6 ribbie night and then the 6 for 6, I know its Greensboro but that's impressive
May 28, 201412 yr I'm really starting to lose faith in Moran. He isn't even providing on-baseness...just "bleh-ness". Was expected to be quick progression, now he's looking like a bigger project than a "safe" pick should be.
May 28, 201412 yr I don't recall Moran ever being a "safe" pick. Even if he's a bust, I still support the FO's decision to draft him.
May 28, 201412 yr It was considered "safe" in the sense that it was believed he'd always be able to get hits. He's always been a very solid contact hitter, so it was believed his pure plate discipline alone could guide him to the majors within two years. The problem is he's suffering from Zack Cox syndrome in that he has basically no power. I've also rarely seen games where Moran has multiple hits so far. Usually he goes 1-4 or something and walks occasionally. I've already said before that I'm willing to be patient with him because this is really year 1 for him, but the lack of power is very concerning. At some point he needs to start making an impact on the games he plays. Add the fact he's a very average defensive 3rd baseman and he needs to step up offensively to warrant the pick he was taken at.
May 28, 201412 yr As I've said all that I still support the pick no doubt. He was a great contact hitter at UNC and was the backbone of one of the best offenses in college baseball. There was talk the Astros were seriously considering him for the 1st overall pick, so it isn't like we reached for him at all. If he develops power that's great, but sometimes prospects aren't uber prospects you hope for them to be. It's still too early on Moran, but if he busts, so be it. After a great run of Yelich/Fernandez/Heaney, we were probably due for a dud one of these years anyway. But Moran can still hit, so if he ever develops even a little power he becomes a prime prospect again.
May 28, 201412 yr I wouldn't worry about Moran's lack of power in the FSL, those are some big parks! I guess they could have started in the band box in Greensboro to get his power #'s up, before moving him to Jupiter.
May 28, 201412 yr I'm not worried about his lack of power. I'm worried about the fact that his BA hovers around .250 and his OBP hovers around .300 (under right now iirc). That just isn't good, especially for someone drafted primarily because of their hit tool. I'm willing to wait a while. Even if mcgehee regresses, he's still a solid player, and he is under team control for another year I believe... I'm just disappointed.
May 29, 201412 yr He is not as good as he has played this year. He is getting on base about about 40 points higher than his career average, and his BABIP is .346. He is not suddenly not a terrible player, he has just had a lot of luck. I know you have a tendency to take small sample sizes at face value without any hard thinking, but come on man.

He is not suddenly not a terrible player, he has just had a lot of luck. I know you have a tendency to take small sample sizes at face value without any hard thinking, but come on man. The BABIP of .346 is not ridiculous. And he was bad for a year and a half. He was a solid player that had driven in 100 RBI before and he was very good in Japan after. You have a tendency to hate players for no reason.
May 29, 201412 yr Not really. You just generally think players are better than they actually are. I don't think anyone would have disagreed before this season started that McGehee was capable of a mid .700's OPS. Which is exactly what he's doing.
May 29, 201412 yr Considering his last two seasons in MLB before his exile to Japan he couldnt even manage a mid .600's OPS, plenty of people would have disagreed.
May 29, 201412 yr Considering his last two seasons in MLB before his exile to Japan he couldnt even manage a mid .600's OPS, plenty of people would have disagreed. I didn't say likely, I said capable. There's quite a difference. If you didn't think he was at least capable then you probably aren't very bright.
May 29, 201412 yr I doubt many would have said he was even capable because, you know...history and stuff. If someone is a crappy ballplayer, chances are they are going to continue to be a crappy ballplayer.
May 29, 201412 yr I doubt many would have said he was even capable because, you know...history and stuff. If someone is a crappy ballplayer, chances are they are going to continue to be a crappy ballplayer. History says he was absolutely 100% capable. History doesn't help your argument.
May 29, 201412 yr It really does No, not really. History says he is absolutely capable of it... since he's done it before...
May 29, 201412 yr Yes, really. In his two full seasons before his exile to Japan, he could barely manage an OPS in the mid 600s.
May 29, 201412 yr Yes, really. In his two full seasons before his exile to Japan, he could barely manage an OPS in the mid 600s. and the two seasons before that he had over a .800 ops. Guys get better as their careers go on and go through ebbs and flows a lot, especially non superstars and especially in the sport of baseball. Jorge Cantu did the same thing where he had 2 .700 or less ops seasons before he came to the marlins. Baseball is weird it is not a shock to see Casey Mcgehee being solid.
