Stats! Just for a frame of reference, the league average batting line is .257/.328/.384. Average batter’s age is 20.6.
The Robert Stock bandwagon has now been firmly established. Matt Adams is no man. He is a mindless hitting machine. BA scouting blurbage:
A burly 6-foot-3, 245-pound slugger, Adams has a good swing and a mature offensive approach to go along with solid-average to plus power. He’s adequate at best defensively at first base, and he’s well-below-average behind the plate.
Rich “the Rock” Racobaldo was Billy Madison throwing dodge balls at hapless 3rd graders. He’s not doing quite as well for the QC.

Do we know anything about Audris Perez? His power stats look good both this year and last and last year’s assists as a catcher are kind of eye popping.
I read Perez threw out 0-12 base runners this year.
How cab Yunier Castillo go the whole year w/o taking a walk? I don’t care how good his glove is – no BB’s, no prospect!
Rodriguez is a very under publicized prospect. He hit really well in the GCL and decently at JC.
Adams, Swinson, and Stock look projectable. Obregon’s SBs are a positive. Maybe Audris Perez had a sore arm this year. His bat’s ok.
Lara and Ross Smith need to cut down on strikeouts. Hage and Rigoli, not a lot to celebrate.
Tartamella did not hit either, but he could contribute the next few years, if he can catch.
Romulo Ruiz was a July 2nd bonus babe. He missed last season to injury; he has not played much pro ball. This season, he had 7 extra base hits, just 6 singles, leading to a .134 BA. At least Ruiz makes hits count, driving in 17 runs with 13 hits.
If he has a good spring training, I assume Adams will start at QC next year.
As for the Stock bandwagon–I am going to walk a bit longer. These stats are meaningless to me.
Adams most likely will start at QC but if the pipeline wasn’t full he could easily start at PB. He had a better year than Smith did last year at JC (despite being a year younger) and Smith started the year at PB and also played at Springfield.
