On June 20th, in a 5-0 win over Lynchburg, Fedroff went 0-for-4. What's notable about this is that it's the last game that Fedroff failed to reach base, as he extended his streak to 35 games by going 6-for-12 over the weekend with four doubles and four walks. Now batting .500 (27-for-54) in August and .354/.447/.485 since the All-Star break, Fedroff's patient approach and line-drive bat has scouts projecting him as a possible old-school leadoff man if he can improve in center field.

KG's Monday Ten Pack.

Everything that I’ve read says that unless the pop comes, he is a 4th of as the glove won’t play cf. Until this latest (powerless) surge, he has been looking like Drennen with walks and without Rocket memories.

Thank goodness. My Trevor Crowe bandwagon was nearing the 60,000 mile mark and was due for a whole slew of repairs.

And nothing replaces Trevor Crowe’s minor league career 52% GB% better than Tim Fedroff’s 60% rate.

Upgrade!

Scheduled for new teeth, Winter 2009: Fedroff, Phelps, Brantley, Marson.

Marson is what he is. And we’re spoiled.

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Agreed…I don’t get the hate for a catcher who gets on base 40% of the time.

People just can’t keep the positional adjustment straight in their heads, I guess. And it’s a very typical human failing to focus on what’s missing rather than what’s there.

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

You should have a comma after ‘missing’.

At first glance I thought it was you who’d posted that comment. That would have made it funnier.

The Fed picks the ‘08 draft New Blood guys off their collective ass. Diggin’ on Chen-Chang Lee, too, who has evidently had just about enough of Kinston.

At this stage, which I guess is still only about 14 months into it and very early, I like the ‘08 draft. The Chisl is looking great (which is huge). Trey Haley is all over the place, but I’m prepared to give a high school pitcher a year to figure things out a bit. Phelps got off to a fast start, has since faded, but is still a middle infielder with a .380 OBP…so a major league projection isn’t entirely out of the question, even if it is more likely as a utility guy. Putnam is interesting and now that he is in the bullpen seems likely to be in Columbus next year. Then there’s Fedroff…Eric Berger and Clayton Cook are two guys who have had some success. Berger is old but already in Akron. Cook just turned 19. TJ House is obviously looking like a real deal kind of guy. That seems like a decent set of names from the top of last year’s draft (House wasn’t until the 16th round).

Let’s see…Stowell and Recknagel are at Kinston. In addition to those two, and the guys you list, is anyone else at Kinston or higher?

by dgcambridge on Aug 18, 2009 3:41 PM EDT up reply actions

Ryan Blair is, I think. Brian Grening has been all over the place, for whatever that’s worth.

by FredOx on Aug 18, 2009 3:59 PM EDT up reply actions

Putnam is still getting hit, but you’ve gotta dig on those K% and GB%. I guess I’d rather he learned by working in the zone than by issuing walks.

I’m being facetious, of course; ’08’s lookin’ fine. In another year’s time, Chiz could be our best position-player prospect. And, yeah, you do get the sense that there are a lot of guys who could come out of the woodwork with another off-season to develop. Roberts comes to mind. And Guido, of course.

by fleerdon on Aug 18, 2009 3:41 PM EDT up reply actions

In my fantasy world Guido and Carlos Moncrief become a 1-2 back of the bullpen tag-team stopper duo.

Your fantasy world needs to stop encroaching on mine.

C – Jose Molina
1B – Prince Fielder
2B – Ronnie Belliard
3B – Pablo Sandoval
SS – Juan Uribe
OF – Carlos Lee
OF – Jack Cust
OF – Jason Kubel
SP – CC Sabathia
SP – Justin Chamberlain
SP – Carlos Zambrano
RP – Bobby Jenks
