Anyway, it was a few years ago and I don't remember exactly what you told them, but it seemed like y0ou were both kind and honest (which can be tough to do). <br /><br />Anyway, since then Tomlinson (irrationally perhaps) has been one of my favorite prospects/players to pull for... And I was ****ed when they sent him down to keep Marrero (Japan), Hill (.178) and Ruggiano (.217) coupled with not giving Slater a chance when Williamson & Parker went down... <br /><br />Also, FWIW, I plagiarized part of Nutz4RVA post on Tomlinson and put it out there via Facebook. I didn't credit him directly but I did say I plagiarized it. I didn't link it back to the blog as I'm not sure if you'd have been okay with a link (and possible scrutiny) and I doubt it generates much traffic since it was on yesterdays' game and people move on...MosesZDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702323080585738748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-16963817293347565902017-06-11T22:58:26.772-07:002017-06-11T22:58:26.772-07:00Enjoyed reading all of the posts about the top dra...Enjoyed reading all of the posts about the top draft prospects.

I didn't take the time to verify it all, but even if half of it is accurate, we have us a keeper in this kid!<br /><br />"Just to prove how rare Tomlinson’s performance has been, I researched how many players in the National League have hit at least .300 since 2015 with a minimum of 300 at-bats. The list?<br /><br />Daniel Murphy – 2x All-Star, Silver Slugger<br />Joey Votto – 2010 NL MVP, 4x All-Star<br />DJ LeMahieu – 2016 NL Batting Champion, 2015 All-Star<br />Charlie Blackmon – 2014 All-Star, 2016 Silver Slugger<br />Paul Goldschmidt – 4x All-Star, 2x Silver Slugger<br />A.J. Pollack – 2015 All-Star<br />Buster Posey – 2012 MVP, 2012 NL Batting Champ, 4x All-Star<br />Dee Gordon – 2015 NL Batting Champ, 2x All-Star<br />Cory Seager – 2016 Rookie of the Year, 2016 All-Star/Silver Slugger<br />Trea Turner – Runner-Up Rookie of the Year, 2x Rookie of the Month<br />Troy Tulowitzki – 5x All-Star, 2x Silver Slugger<br />Kelby Tomlinson<br /><br />In total, the 11 players in front of Tomlinson have combined for 2 MVPs, 25 All-Star Games, and 6 Silver Sluggers. Even Tomlinson’s on-base percentage ranks 30th best of 214 players. For a team that has the 3rd lowest team batting average (.233) and 2nd lowest team on-base percentage in ALL of Major League Baseball, wouldn’t Kelby Tomlinson be a player who could help? Maybe he doesn’t pass the eye-test or do anything flashy, but the fact of the matter is that he can hit, and his track record compared to the best hitters in the game proves that."Nutz4RVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00997800352962687317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-19568641540788588222017-06-11T20:05:34.033-07:002017-06-11T20:05:34.033-07:00So will the Giants keep Blach in the rotation when...So will the Giants keep Blach in the rotation when Madbum gets back and have three lefties in the bullpen? What would Nunez value be on the trade market, prospect or current big leaguer?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
