Brian Pointer swiped four bags today, bringing his season total to 12 in 12 tries. If he could steal 30-40 bases a year at a very high rate, that would really change his profile. He’s got some idea at the plate, though he does strike out too much. With double digit walk rates and a bit of power, all he may need to do is play a passable CF to project as a big league reserve OF. Add some additional power, and cut down the Ks, and he’s an everyday corner OF. Now all we need to do is let him know so he can work on it…anyone know his email?

Around the System–Middle Infield
A look at the 2B/SS through the system. The talking points will surely be Hernandez and Quinn. Next up is the OF, Thursday or Friday next week.

Cesar Hernandez, 22, Signed as a free agent in 2006; .358/.412/.514 in 109 AB’s; 2HR 11RBI; 8/8 SB; 8%bb/15% k rates; .360 vs. LHP; .357 vs. RHP; .333 with RISP. 26 games at 2B with 3 errors .970); 3.69 R/F. Hernandez simply could not have played better than he did during the seasons first month. Incredibly consistent, he has been getting on base, stealing bases and very good in the field. Starting to convince me that he can start in the majors as I watch him more and more.
Pete Orr, 33, Signed as a free agent in 2011; .185/.254/.222 in 54 AB’s; 0HR 1RBI; 1SB; 12 games at SS with 1 error (.981); 3 games at 2B without an error. A total non factor during the seasons first month. We have seen much more from Orr at this level in years past. Continue reading Around the System–Middle Infield
