One of my favorite AL players these days, I just hope the workload doesn't take him down. | |

Talk about BABIP: in the first inning he swings at the first pitch and hits a three-run homer. In the sixth, he hits the first pitch just as hard and grounds into a triple play. | |

He's very athletic and durable, but the Mariners were running wild on his arm the past few days. I'm not sure I'd put him as high as second between offense and defense in "real baseball," but he wouldn't be far down the list. | |

Incredible catch on that foul ball yesterday. He has to be the second best catcher in either league. | |

Alex, in re Landon: He picked a runner off first-base in his first game as a 17 year old who enrolled the preceding January of his senior year in high school. Back to that day, 2 scouts said he had a strong arm and amazingly quick feet for a man his size which made his release quicker than it should be for a man his size. Could be a uber defensive catcher, provided he doesn't become as "hippy" as his father (a familiar fixture at the games with a mouth like my 3rd wife, dreadful man). In fact Landon injured himself working out before his first pro season, put on weight due to inactivity, then later discovered an inherited condition, that now seems under control ( news or noise?). They also said- wonderful eye at the plate and patience when LH and can get around on inside pitch batting LH, yet stays back. Tendency to try to pull the ball RH, while sweet LH swing. Reminded one of them of Eddie Murray, another good switch hitter, but with 2 completely different swings. 70 power LH, 60 RH. Will hit for good average. Alex, none of that has yet to make an appearance. By the way, the scouts also mentioned Josh Hamilton, also from Eastern N.C. Both had attended Coach Ray Tanner's summer camps while he was at NC State before coming to The University Of Sliders and Curves (U. South Ca. and short hand for another story for another day about college pitching. Though Tanner's first and best pitching coach went back as head coach to his alma mater in Tidewater where he groomed a certain now Tiger star hurler). They wondered what would have happened had Josh gone to College in Columbia and matured some before going pro. Also, it was their discussion about Josh's feet, the largest they had seen play short-stop (in high school) at any level that led them into talking about the old scout with vision for their futures. | |

Saw both other day. went to see Michael Taylor. Athletic, yes (pun intended), ready, seems not. not great pitch recognition at least early in ST, but lift in swing. Fooled on 1-2 count, fly ball to left without hardly swinging. Late AL only very reserve pick. Sheets didn't breakdown. Hah. |

I've retrieved Landon Powell. What did the scouts say about him at that college game, Jem? He ended up as a first-round pick, didn't he? | |

Can you add his backup Landon Powell to the data base? Powell drafted same year ahead of Kurt and this should be his first healthy season. Huge switch hitter with big time LH power, but has yet to show anywhere due to health, but got to Show without posting anything in minors. Oak must think something of him. Getting AB will be a problem, though. Sat behind Oakland's scout and another team's during one of Landon's college batting practices before a game. Oak scout looked like he stepped out of GQ into an SEC baseball game- stuck out just a little. Other scout, I think for Phily, was giving him heck about preppy look among us red-necks. Anyway, they talked about old time scouts and both agreed one guy was famous for looking at a player once or twice in high school or college and predicting not only that he's have an MLB career, but also a specific and drastic position change. And he was almost always right. I'd settle for simply guessing right on who's skills would fully translate from college to Pros. Oh, those metal bats. |
