Montcreif

[klaiggeb]

Am I the ONLY one impressed with this kid?

Since I'm the ONLY one to have commented on him, I guess I am.

He gets MAYBE one at bat/game... and consistently hits the ball hard.

I watch his at bats and I see what both Kruk and Kuip pointed out last night; he is neither over whelmed, nor intimidated.

The kid can hit.

Period.

I would like to see him get 8 or 9 games as a start to see what he can do.

He may not be a CF... but with his speed, COULD he be a lead off guy?

Moncrief has indeed hit the ball hard a third of the time. If Jarrett had done that -- instead of hitting the ball hard only a quarter of the time I would have higher expectations for him.

Moncrief has also struck out 10% less often than Jarrett. I don't think he hits the ball AS hard as Jarrett though.

I haven't truly evaluated him though, so I don't really have an opinion about anything other than Carlos' arm.

Right now, I don't know what to think about Montcrief other than "I'd like to see more at bats by him."


The Parker we are seeing 'right now,' isn't the Parker from the 1st half this year, nor the Parker we saw last year.

I'm taking a "wait and see" attitude about him, too.
