    Check his AA stats homie. 280 hitter but continue to pick and choose stats.

    And .284 is a pretty alright average, or so I've been told...

    He's been a great OBP guy throughout his career. But he's not saying that, everybody has been saying BA this blah blah. His BABIP was wait for it....... in the 400s last time i checked

    Oh, but you picked and chose the .284 batting average in Corpus like it's supposed to be some kind of knock on him.

    It's not bad, but compared to 370 or hovering around 400 not the same. My point being he's not a 370 hitter.

    lol ok how about .290 in 2014 throughout 2 levels or .320 in low As? Did you look over his high BABIP in AAA?

    Look he's great value for a 33rd round pick, but chill out.

    If he learns to catch, his value will be great

    Hmm... maybe he's the type of hitter who can go through sustained periods of a high BABIP. Did you think of that? He gets on base much, much more than he strikes out, too.

    Oh, and obviously he's not going to be a consistent .370 hitter. Not exactly groundbreaking.

    Very much so, even more so with the lack of catching depth we have.

    Well he's not fast so there's a knock but yea he could be a good line drive hitter but hovering around 400 BABIP? Think about it man. My point is that people on here have been throwing his high BA number and its not a good representation to him.

    You would've thought the same thing about Jose Altuve in 2011, then.

    Also looks like Tyler White somehow managed to sustain a .412 BABIP for 57 games at AAA.

    He'll probably settle in around .340-.350, but that still leads me to believe that he can have those high-BABIP periods.

    Except Altuve was 21 compared to 24, his BABIP was just above 300 according to fangraphs, had more of a track record (hit over 300 07, 09, 10) , he's fast so a higher BABIP % is more sustainable. So no not really imo.

    Not saying White is a bad player. But I think people should be talking more about his 400+ OBS throughout his carrer. If he does make a good catcher, he's got great potential value.

    Also .313 at AA in 59 games. .276 43 games and .330 something through 71 games at his last 2 significant stops. So really could go either way. I'll agree I think he'll be above average BABIP guy but idk about that much.

    What really intrigues me is his OBP. Only 1 stop at a lever with under .400. Gotta love that.

    Totals by year are impressive.
    2013 .322 AVG. .406 OBP
    2014 .290 AVG .410 OBP
    2015 .325 AVG .442 OBP AA/AAA
    In 1,031 AB's he has 174 BB & 164 SO

    The #'s say he can hit and get on base and has not needed an adjustment period. #'s also show he can consistently work the count deep and not strikeout but either walk or get a hit. #'s say that he could be a .300 hitter in the majors and draw lots of walks. #'s show a consistent 15 homeruns over a full season. Maybe he'll get a chance. I know that this lineup could use that sort of production.

    Just in case anyone missed it, if the Grizzlies hang on and win tonight, Appel is pitching the championship game tomorrow.
