Hey! I ate some raw garlic last night and am still not functioning well enough to do an actual post. I won’t chat on Turkey day, so consider this the best I can do for now. apologies from my rotten gut. Please try to give all relevant league information and keep it to one or two questions at first.

What kind of impact do you expect from Wil Myers this year?

I think he’ll have a bad batting average and good power in a half-season of play. It’s an educated guess — he’s had some iffy strikeout rates, and has struggled at new levels in the past — but it’s a guess as to playing time any way. Frenchy is still there and if he rebounds, they’ll need to shop him for a while.

Obviously playing time is biggest issue here. Not sure where you see the low batting average issues though. 2011 was first time in AA and he was 250s, but otherwise he’s been pretty good.

Struggling at new levels has NOT been a problem for him. The only time he struggled was when he was playing injured. If you want to blame it on a new level, go ahead, but you’d be wrong.

Because his strikeout rate has risen with each jump in level. Minor league BABIPs make minor league batting averages pretty un-useful. Chris Davis had great batting averages in the minor leagues, and a K% around 23%.
