quite a turnaround for the power in the second half
"Cubs fans boo again – 99% of these people can’t see the plate." -Ueck
WV made the playoffs so they'll play at least Wed. and Fri.
Helena’s season goes through Friday.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
So what was the deal with Merklinger this season?
I realize he’s been rather disappointing compared to the post-draft hype from ‘06, but I can’t quite make sense of his season stats…ERA around 50% higher than FIP, even though the K/BB are good, he didn’t give up an inordinate amount of hits (just about one per inning) and his BABIP is only a slightly inflated .323 according to Minorleaguesplits. Just a fluky ERA season? The strange thing is that his ERA significantly outpaced his FIP both during his crappy April-June (7.46 ERA, ~5.00 FIP) as well as his much better July/August (4.50 ERA, ~2.50 FIP)…
Yeah, I'm not sure
Like Dave Bush, he seems to be prone to blow-ups.
On a related note, if I was the Brewers, I would consider skipping these older lefties (Merklinger, Chris Cody, Bobby Bramhall) right over Brevard County to Huntsville. Being lefties in a park that kills right-handed hitters, success for them at Brevard doesn’t really tell you that much about their abilities.
