Minor League Game Thread 5/30 - 6/5

[nny]

A 300 average would be near impossible to pull off on a consistent basis with that low of power and that high of strike outs.

Without actually looking into translated numbers, I would guess something more along the lines of .275/.330/.395/.725 is what should be expected at the moment.

Don't forget that his awesome bb% is in just barely 100 pa. He's walking at over twice the rate he did in his previous years in the minors. His numbers will likely drop as the year goes on.

Because BR's play index is awesome

From 2003-2012 (10 years), 7 players that managed to have a .300+ AVG while having an ISO under .150 (.150 = average power)

Player BA ISO SO% PA SO
Joe Mauer 0.323 0.145 10.43% 4552 475
Ichiro Suzuki 0.32 0.094 9.62% 7257 698
Derek Jeter 0.311 0.126 13.86% 6914 958
Michael Young 0.308 0.144 13.58% 6983 948
Sean Casey 0.302 0.129 8.39% 3003 252
Mark Grudzielanek 0.301 0.107 12.21% 2923 357
Placido Polanco 0.3 0.107 6.55% 5554 364



Average SO% of 11% in this group. Cox is at 18.6%, and that would likely go up in the majors.

I just got told.

.275 sounds more likely for Cox. I was speaking more at his ceiling rather than his potential average output.

He didn't even pitch for the Nationals. Ouch.
