Tellez raked in one of my OOTP baseball seasons if that means anything.

He always seems to develop into Nelson Cruz type player in that game.

They can't both be worse.

 

Not technically but you can make a special exception in this situation.

tellez should definitely get 75-100 consideration. Alford has had a bad season but i could see him still ranking in that area as well.

 

srf?

Should be higher than Tellez and probably in that range too.

 

Higher as in, bigger/higher number? If so, true.

Milb.Com article on Biggio

 

http://m.milb.com/news/article/20160708188554630/biggio_paving_his_own_path_with_blue_jays

 

The name Biggio resonates strongly throughout the baseball world. It's connected to seven All-Star appearances, five Silver Slugger awards, four Gold Gloves, one World Series appearance and 20 seasons of Major League service.

 

That may be why heads turned last month when 21-year-old Cavan Biggio was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in the fifth round of the 2016 Draft. All of those aforementioned accolades belong to his father, Craig.

 

 

But already, after posting a .340 batting average and four doubles in just 14 games, the Vancouver Canadians infielder is giving baseball fans a reason to remember his first name, and not just his last.

 

"Growing up playing baseball I have always been labeled as Craig Biggio's son. But as I pave my way in my own career I am getting noticed for my talents as Cavan," Biggio said.

 

Biggio, the son of the 2015 Hall of Fame inductee, wasted little time nudging the family spotlight in his direction. After an 0-for-3 showing in his professional debut, the Notre Dame product went a perfect 4-for-4 with two doubles and one RBI before a crowd of 5,031 at Nat Bailey Stadium in Canada.

 

"I felt like I had some good at-bats in the first game but didn't have anything to show for it. But the second game I got a few good pitches to hit and put good swings on them and found some holes," Biggio said. "It was definitely good to get some hits early in the season, and from that point on you just have to keep the ball rolling in a positive direction."

 

Biggio did just that, collecting at least one hit in five of his next six games and has compiled four multi-hit games in his first 14. Through Wednesday, his team-high .340 batting average ranked fourth in the Northwest League.

 

"I've just been trying to be aggressive early in the count and looking for good pitches to hit. That, and just focusing on getting on base," Biggio said. "I'm working to keep things really simple and having fun up there at the plate."

 

His father, who has a freshly cemented plaque resting at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, hasn't yet made a trip over to the West Coast to watch his son play professionally -- that will happen in August. Still, it hasn't stopped the father/son combo from talking shop.

 

"If I have any questions about a certain game or at-bat or pretty much anything general in terms of the baseball lifestyle, I can go to him," Biggio said. "I'm very fortunate to have him as a resource in my life. He's always there for me whenever I have questions."

 

It's no secret that the younger Biggio has benefited from his father's guidance as he's developed into a professional athlete. But he's adamant that the name doesn't always guarantee success in between the foul lines.

 

"My dad and I are two different players with two different styles of play," Cavan said. "It's almost unfair to compare me to him because I'm my own player."

 

Through 14 games, he's showing us the type of player he might become

He's been pretty much as advertised through the first month of his pro career. Low strikeout #s/lots of walks, not much power (singles and doubles hitter). Good defense. It'll be interesting to see how his profile plays at higher levels.

Got to see Ryan Borucki pitch last night in Lansing. Quite impressive out for the young lefty. Sat 93-96 most of the game, with command.

 

 

Didn't realize he was throwing this hard (although could be a hot stadium gun). With his changeup... that's pretty intriguing.
