dc. Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 He may not be having the rookie of the year season we all expected... but he is showing HUGE improvement recently. 2 home runs in 2 games... including a walk-off last night to win the game. He also is hitting 300 as a lefty (against righties), which is pretty impressive. Only 215 as a righty though. And his arm is just amazing right now - gunned Crawford TWICE last night, only second time Crawford has ever been caught twice in a game. Second time, Crawford looked like he was going to be in by a mile... Matt got him, clear as day... Crawford got up with that "How did that happen?" look on his face.

Spen Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Its very encouraging to see his play at this point. Even with the rookie learning curve his battign is not bad, hopefully it will only improve next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercleetz Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 This last month is huge in terms of development for the young guys: mainly Pie, Reimold, and Wieters. Get the experience now, come into spring training next year ready to go. Hopefully we will see Adam Jones-type improvement for all three of these guys next season.

dc. Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 2/4 with another HR puts him at 290... all in all, great season for a rook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercleetz Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Another HR for Wieters. This guy is really putting it all together and should be ready to rake next year. I'm liking a 1-5 of Roberts, Jones, Markakis, Wieters, Reimold. Or maybe even something like Roberts, Markakis, Wieters, Reimold, Jones. Nevertheless I like the core of those five guys (six if you add in Felix) and hopefully Bell and/or Snyder can come up next year and give us some extra pop.
