2009 Arizona Fall League Thread

So far so good for Petersen. Nice to see Burns get the two walks and a triple.

Strasburg was not so good in his second AFL start. He gave up three homers and allowed eight runs (seven earned) in 2 2/3 innings today.

Amazing that Matt actually upped his average to .139 by going 1-5...
Burns is putting up crazy OBP and BABIP numbers so far. Need to work on the Ks.

[lou]

BP has 2 walks, 10 strikeouts in 49 PA so far.

I mean, he does have a 1.058 OPS in these limited AB, but it's very unlike him to whiff so much. He did 66 in 481 PA in 2009 in Jax. Granted sample size, stronger competition, not playing everyday, etc, but it is 1.5ing your whiff rate overnight. I hope this trend eases a bit.

And for the love of god stop trying to steal bases.

Mike Stanton's swing sounds so sweet.
