It looks like Murphy's frame is too small to hold up as an everyday catcher. I think he'll always be a backup.

Dru Butera II Or is it III [&:]

twinsfan -> RE: Players and prospects III (9/8/2016 10:43:23 AM)
quote: ORIGINAL: SoMnFan Dru Butera II Or is it III [&:] Yup. I see similarities. Very confused how Butera is hitting so well this year, even if he's only playing in the most ideal of situations. He just never showed any ability with the bat in the past. I noticed his SLG of .505 in 2016 is normally his OPS.

They're clones.

Anyone see Suzukis PH numbers last night? [:-][:-][:-] Guy is a PH machine. Been right "on it" for awhile now, too. Almost always solid contact, when he's not worn out.

I see 5'11" and 205 lbs for both JR and Honda.

JR honestly looked like someone's little brother had been asked to play last night. Butera looks "grizzled" comparatively. No way he's packing more than 175 right now, I agree with Matt. Suzukis a much more solidly built humanoid.

We certainly know that size, especially at the catcher's position, equates to hitting power. Mauer is our prime example.....6'5" frame of muscle and prodigious power to all fields. Remember when Hunter said, watch out when he gets his man muscles......wonder why he never got those.

Luis Arraez 4 for 4 so far tonight for Cedar Rapids. 7 for 9 so far in the series. [:-]

Did Costco have a "buy one second baseman, get 17 free" deal going on at one winter meeting that TR attended? Or was that a Dominos-sponsored promo that Billy Smith fell for?
