SIGNED QB Bubba Starling

Have a hard time seeing how a .260 hitter at AA is figuring it out. I'll give the age aspect a little slack, but still. Oh well, best of luck to Bubba.
Especially since he was at .246 a week ago. 10 for 19 the last 5 games, now at .274. Maybe he's figured it out, or maybe it's a hot streak that will end soon. His strikeouts are finally down to about 1 in 4 in AA, which still isn't that good for just 5 HRs in 186 ABs but it's the right direction. With his glove he might not have to hit better to advance, but it's not what they were hoping for with a 1st round pick.

Average is up to .250 highest in a while. Still hasn't met a pitch he won't swing at. 12 walks to 51 strikeouts. OBP below .300.

Still a ++ fielder with a canon and + speed. Maybe someday the bat catches up to the rest of his skill set.

Lifer in the minors otherwise
