5/21/2013: Billy Hamilton has been struggling in AAA ball, slashing only .228/.286/.327 in his first experience with that level of play. While stealing 22 bases in 39 games might look pretty good, it's actually nowhere near his 2012 pace, when he swiped more than one base per game on average. We'd like to see him heat up a little before banking on him as the Great Reds Hope he's looked like in the past. More on Hamilton >
Al Albuquerque got his shot to impress in Detroit, and for the most part did exactly that, striking out 26 batters in only 14 innings of work so far this season. Unfortunately, the value of being unhittable only goes so far: he's also thrown six wild pitches and walked thirteen in the same span. He'll return to the minors to sharpen that control a bit, and should be back in a month or so.
ScoutingBook.com is the backyard toolshed of a handful of swell fellas (and one sassy lady) who live, work or breathe baseball, information processing, online gaming, economic theory, infographicology, or some combination of those things.
We made it to combine our overlapping work for our own benefit and amusement. If it's useful to you, too, that's a bonus.
