You do realize pro athletes have the cure for AIDS right? That diagnosis for them is like the CLAP and ten days of Penicillin for us...

He's a bum, question me and I'll call the police on you

Is a good comp for Tellez prime Justin Morneau?

No.

Is a good comp for Tellez prime Justin Morneau?

 

Not a bad comparison in terms of "ceiling"... Some know-it-alls are allready calling you out.

 

Tellez is about where Votto, Rizzo and Morneau were at 21... "about" -- he didn't really dominate lower levels..

 

I'm sure there are lots of other guys that reached the same stage... Travis Snider for one.

 

Hope he works out.

[Krylian]

Tellez could end up being a complete stiff. I'm hopeful that he can be a good bat for the Jays in a year or two, but I've become a lot more realistic with my old age. He could be a completed flop or he could be dealt in a package for some immediate help somewhere. Those are also possibilities.

I'm more comfortable with an Adam Lind comparison than a Votto comparison.

Screwed by the playoff system

[Olerud363]

I'm more comfortable with an Adam Lind comparison than a Votto comparison.

 

Votto had mediocre minor league stats, as compared to what he became. I think at this point it is hard to know what Tellez will be.

 

There is no reason to think he will become a Votto. Adam Lind might be a reasonable expectation.

 

It is hard for me to picture a player being the next "Adam Lind", Adam Lind is like different ever year

 

1. Prime Justin Morneau (2009)

2. Late 90s bad-bad Joe Carter (2010/2011/2016)

3. Solid (2013, 2015)

4. Frank Catalato (2014)

 

Adam Lind is like a different guy every year. Very strange. Or maybe not. Maybe this random sequence around .270 .330 .470 is exactly what you would expect.

[Jimcanuck]

Tellez has way more power than Lind?

 

Trumbo might be a better comp

[Jonn]

Babe Ruth comp

[Spanky__99]

Babe Ruth comp

 

lol... shut up, Jonn.

[Olerud363]

Trumbo might be a better comp

 

He is progressing faster the Trumbo and has a better k/bb ratio...

 

The power of Trumbo with a better k/bb ratio??

 

More power then Lind??

 

Then he is getting pretty good...

 

What about Garret Jones?? No. He is way ahead of Garret Jones.

 

Actually when you do this little experiment you realize that Tellez looks like the good hitters did when they were 21. He looks a bit better than the mediocre sluggers looked at 21.

Easy Olerud, he's fun to think about, but...

[Olerud363]

Maybe he will be the next Jon Singleton... I appreciate that this is unpredictable.

 

He will be somewhere between Jon Singleton and Joey Votto... I will say that.

Does anyone know what type of injury Reid-Foley has and how serious it is?

Haven't heard anything. Seems ongoing though.

It's weird to me how they give credit to the arms developed through the system to the teams pitching coach.

[nmrch]

You can only make comparisons based on how players have done at similar levels. Statistically Tellez has done as well as almost any current/historical good 1B/DH have done at the same level. Obviously that doesn't mean he'll be a successful big leaguer but the same level comparisons to Rizzo, Votto, Adrian Gonzalez are valid, as are comparisons to guys like Singleton, Snider(not that he's a complete failure).

[HERPDERP]

Tellez seems pretty smart
