Re: Unpopular opinion, I would trade Vogelbach at some point this season
Ackley 2011 ...Tacoma in 271 at bats,.303/.421/.487/.908 ...then with the Mariners in 333 at bats, .273/.348/.417/.766 that same season. Where is the evidence of his being rushed? He was having a great season in Tacoma, came to the Mariners and continued it
Zunino on the other hand was hitting .227 /.297/.478/.775 in 2013 in tacoma when he was promoted and then hit .214/.290/.329/.620 for the Mariners that season, that is being rushed

Yep. We went to see Zunino debut in August of 2012 in Everett. 10 months and barely 400 PAs later he was at Safeco in June of 2013.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2019 2:53 amAckley 2011 ...Tacoma in 271 at bats,.303/.421/.487/.908 ...then with the Mariners in 333 at bats, .273/.348/.417/.766 that same season.

Re: Unpopular opinion, I would trade Vogelbach at some point this season
looking back I don't remember being outraged or anything but that was nuts, what were they thinking? And i do think you can ruin a guy that way. He obviously had issues, and i have pointed out they really went back to college. Its not a given that he would have ever learned to hit but he should have spent another couple seasons in the minors trying to. I can see it as a slow stepping stone of improvement, that perhaps could have led to something, but if he is promoted it just never happens

Vogelbach is 250!!! Not 260, sorry Cap!Captain 97 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 8:11 pmWhat about him. He was 6-3 230. Vogelbach is 6-0 260 and I think that's a conservative number. Not the same body type at all.

This isn't proof, but there's logic behind it.

Pretty much the same career trajectory as Buster Posey. Of Course Buster could actually hit in the Minors.D-train wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2019 3:50 amYep.
