FanGraphs: Daily Notes: Notable Performances of the Texas League So Far

[ettin]

Some Grichuk Goodness out of some early Texas League results: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/daily-notes-notable-performances-of-the-texas-league-so-far/

 

Notably you'll see Rolando Gomez, Taylor Lindsey, Jett Bandy, and Mike Piazza on those Scout leaderboards as well. Early results but encouraging ones within the Texas League player pool.

Now if only a prospect named Roger Clemens surfaced elsewhere, what a potential rivalry.

The Astros have an unrelated Paul Clemens.

Uh, have you looked at their actual numbers though?

 

Grichuk: .243/.349/.378

Lindsey: .108/.214/.135

Bandy: .200/.294/.200

 

Not exactly encouraging.

The uptick in BB is nice for Grichuk, and he's 21 in an age 23 optimal league.

First of all I did say within the Texas League playing pool which isn't a hitter's haven to start. Secondly, as IP pointed out, Grichuk's walk rate and strikeout rates, based on a limited amount of PA's, appears to be trending in the right direction. Third, as the article pointed out, Grichuk (and Lindsey) is a 21 year old in AA so he seems to be holding his own.

 

Are the slash lines great? No they aren't. But there is potential there AJ, I thought you'd delve deeper into the player profiles/numbers?
