Memorial Weekend player review

Post by Monsieur De Treville »

We've now played about two months of a six month season. We all have our favs and guys we'd like to get rid of. But let's see how our position players stack up to date this Memorial Weekend.

Hits:

Hurdy Gurdy 61
Noot 48
WillyCon 46
Nado 44
VSII 43

Runs:

Noot 32
Hurdy Gurdy 28
Don't call me Wynn 27
VSII 26
WillyCon 24

Doubles:

Hurdy Gurdy 16
Noot 10
Nado 10
WillyCon 9
VSII 8

Taters:

Noot 7
WillyCon 6
Nado 5
Don't call me Wynn 5
Herrera 5

RBI:

WillyCon 28
Noot 25
Nado 24
Herrera 22
Hurdy Gurdy 22

Seems like the same 5 or 6 names consistently pop up. Wonder what the next two mo this will reveal? Any surprises here? Anything that jumps out at you?

Mine: Hurdy Gurdy has been even better than I thought! He's putting a great season together!

Yes I’d expect the same five or six consistently due to only nine hitters. The one notable trend is Donovan - they call me mello yellow.

What jumps out of me is that Victor Scott has achieve those numbers generally batting out of the nine spot.

Saw that. Trying to put a correlation to it.

I don't want to get rid of anyone from this team. Mikolas is the first guy that comes to mind, but he's actually been good this season. There are a couple guys who are really frustrating me right now, but I'm still holding on to my hopes that they are going to turn it around.

It's the most likeable team, in my opinion, in awhile.

VSII and Winn are keepers also.

Can't say that about Walker and Gorman yet. Looking fur those 2 to elevate. Especially Walker who is showing really good D in RF

But...on this team we really have about 12 hitters. For example, poor performance only prevents Burly, Walker, Gorman, Pages from being on this list. Could just as easily be a guy like Walker up near the top and Noot being left out in the cold.

Noot with 7 HR & 25 RBI is somewhat surprising out of the leadoff spot....those RBI are partially a testament to VSII.

It would be nice to have more taters.

Yes...but...we'll be okay IF we have 4 or 5 guys with 30+ doubles.

Herrera's numbers are even more amazing since he's only had 63 AB's Give him 190 (same as BD) and appreciate his start.

Yes, our #9 hitter has a better OBP (.355) than our leadoff hitter (.354). Both are very solid numbers, but VS2 has been a GREAT revelation this year.

Noot RBI breakdown
VS2 7
Himself 7
Winn 3
Walker 2


So he’s driven in VS2 a lot.
