Tools of Ignorance

That is the slang term for catcher’s equipment and it will be interesting to see who will be wearing it the most for the Angels this season. It should be quite the battle in Tempe for the Angels’ starting catcher job between Jeff Mathis and Bobby Wilson. In preparation for the season, Wilson lost 33 pounds this winter.

Where have they gone?

Pitchers and catchers have reported to spring training and position players are just a few days away from getting started. Over the winter, several former Bees players have moved on to other organizations. Here is an update on who they are and where they have gone: Outfielder Cory Aldridge has moved on to play in Korea for the Nexon Heroes, infielder Matt Brown signed with Minnesota, pitchers Shane Loux and Ryan Vogelsong, along with outfielder Terry Evans have signed with San Francisco, infielder-outfielder Robb Quinlan is now with Philadelphia, infielder Kevin Frandsen signed with San Diego, pitcher Chris Bootcheck is with Tampa Bay, pitcher Gabe DeHoyos is now with Oakland , pitcher Fernando Rodriguez was inked by Houston and catcher Ryan Budde signed with Toronto.

Ex-Salt Lake players still in action

Just in case you’re wondering, there are four former Salt Lake players still alive in the playoffs. Texas leads with two; Darren O’Day, who made 21 appearances in 2008 for the Bees (2-2, 3.27 w/7 saves) and Bengie Molina, who played in 5 games on a rehab assignment for the Stingers in 2001.The Phillies J.C. Romero pitched in 32 games for the Buzz in 99 and 00 (8-3, 3.39 w/5 saves). The Yankees have Dustin Moseley, who went 24-24, 5.53 in 63 starts for the Stingers and Bees in 05, 06 & 08.

All-Time Bees: Pitcher

#1 John Lackey

Bees: 11-7, 3.99 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 7.0 K/9 in 28 starts.
ML Career: 114-80, 3.89 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 7.1 K/9 in nine seasons; 3rd in 2007 Cy Young balloting.
The winner of game seven of the 2002 World Series has to top this list, though, in the coming years Lackey could be de-throned by the ever-evolving ace Jered Weaver or one of the most dominant closers in the history of the game in K-Rod (that is assuming K-Rod’s off-field run-ins with the law don’t prevent him from taking the mound again soon). But Lackey has been the ace of the Angels’ staff–perennially one of the best in the game–over three years of dominance from 2007 to 2009. During that span, the Los Angeles won an average of 97 games and established themselves as one of the strongest organizations in the game behind Lackey’s 42-22 and 3.48 ERA line. 
Klauke’s Take: “When he first joined the team I knew nothing about him so I asked our pitching coach Randy Cramer at the time how he would describe John Lackey and he said, ‘he’s a big Texan.’ And he certainly lived up to that. He is a good guy but when he got on the mound, he had that nasty attitude which I thought was very beneficial for his success. He didn’t take anything from anybody and if something happened, he was never one to shy away from a confrontation.”
Bees: 6-1, 2.10 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, 10.9 K/9 in 12 appearances (11 starts).
ML Career: 62-38, 3.60 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 7.9 K/9 in five seasons; 4th in Rookie of the Year balloting in 2006, All-Star in 2010.
When the Red Sox signed Lackey in the offseason, the Angels asked the four-year veteran Weaver to fill Lackey’s void at the top of the rotation and the 6’7″ right-hander has not disappointed. He is currently second in the Majors in strikeouts with 205 and his 3.14 ERA is good enough for eighth in the American League, both marks are career bests. Since he added the two-seam fastball to his repertoire (courtesy of fellow Angels’ starter Joel Piniero), Weaver’s strikeouts per nine innings jumped from 7.3 to 9.8. Given a few more years at his current pace, Weaver could be atop this list next time around.
Klauke’s Take: “Weaver had maybe the most dominating outing I’ve ever seen here back in 2006 against Sacramento. It was a 1-0 ball game but Weaver was fooling everyone. He surrendered two hits and struck out 14 and around the fourth inning or so the manager for the River Cats Tony DiFrancesco had some words for Weaver from the dugout and I guarantee you his players were not pleased about that afterwords because, as dominant as Weaver had been up to that point, he took it up to another level and completely flattened those guys. It was an amazing performance.”
Bees: 2-3, 2.57 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 12.6 K/9 in 27 relief appearances.
ML Career: 30-25, 2.50 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 11.3 K/9, 268 saves in nine seasons; 4-time All-Star, 3rd in Cy Young and 6th in MVP balloting in 2008; set the Major League record with 61 saves in 2008 breaking the White Sox Bobby Thigpen’s record of 57 set in 1990.
K-Rod could quite possibly qualify for the top position on this list but considering his recent legal troubles, I couldn’t in good conscience give him the honors. Still, he probably stands as the greatest reliever to ever wear the Salt Lake uniform even if he only donned it for a few weeks. If K-Rod is able to get his act together off the field, he could still end up as number one on this list before his career is through–that is, if it isn’t already over.
Klauke’s Take: “Although K-Rod did not pitch in Salt Lake for very long, he had some of the nastiest stuff we’ve ever had here so it was no real surprise when he went on to have that incredible run with the Angels in the postseason in 2002.”
Bees: 8-13, 4.46 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 7.6 K/9 in 50 appearances (21 starts).
ML Career: 46-44, 3.18 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 8.1 K/9 in 10 seasons.
As a lifelong Angels fan, I have a special place in my heart for everyone on the 2002 squad that brought home the World Championship to Anaheim, including a young Scot Shields. Shields was quickly recognized as a dominant force out of the pen and soon assumed the role of setup man to great Angels closers Troy Percival and Francisco Rodriguez. During that period, Scioscia lauded his role on the team and threw out Shields’ name as one of the team’s MVPs. But the Angels’ skipper isn’t the only one recognizing Shields’ contribution to the team, SI.com’s Joe Posnanski named him as the game’s greatest setup man of the decade.
Klauke’s Take: “Shields came up as a starter and while he put up decent numbers, it wasn’t until he moved to the bullpen that he really became a dominant force.”
Bees: 12-7, 4.83 ERA, 1.48 WHIP in 24 starts.
ML Career: 46-61, 4.31 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 7.6 K/9, 187 saves in 17 seasons; two-time All-Star.
Like Shields, Guardado became a whole new pitcher when he made the move to the bullpen in 1995. In 16 starts for Minnesota between ’93 and ’94, his 6.53 ERA left something to desired for a top young prospect. But since moving to the bullpen, his ERA settled down at 4.01 and Guardado gained a reputation as one of the most reliable relievers in baseball. 
Klauke’s Take: “Whenever I run into him, I like to remind him that I knew him back before he was ‘Everyday Eddie.’ When he was here, he was still ‘Every-fifth-day Eddie.’” 

All-Time Bees: Outfield

#1 Torii Hunter

Bees: .359/.386/.671, 24 HR, 81 RBI, 73 R, 13 SB in 81 games.

ML Career: .275/.333/.472, 253 HR, 949 RBI, 897 R, 172 SB in 1622 games.

During his two brief stays in Salt Lake, Angels’ right fielder Torii Hunter left little doubt in the minds of all who saw thim play that he was going to be a superstar in the Major Leagues. Not only did he own an impressive.671 slugging percentage with Salt Lake, but he showed off his stellar defensive skills with his spider-like acrobatics in center field. Hunter’s skills translated well to the Majors and the talented Arkansas-native soon gained a reputation for being not only a great asset at the plate, but serving as the defensive model for showing young outfielders–including a teenager named Peter Bourjos–how to play the position right. His nine Gold Glove Awards are well-deserved for one of the greatest outfielders of our generation.

Klauke’s Take: “Torii was spectacular to watch here, defensively and offensively. But again he didn’t play many games here because he was so good. Even then you could tell something was special about him and once he escaped the iron hand of Tom Kelly and began playing for Ron Gardenhire his career flourished.”

#2 Marty Cordova

Bees: .359/.426/.597, 20 HR, 70 RBI, 18 SB in 109 games.

ML Career: .274/.344/.448, 122 HR, 540 RBI in 962 games (9 seasons).

The 1995 American League Rookie of the Year burst into the League with 24 home runs and 84 RBI which was enough to earn him the award over Angels outfielder Garret Anderson and Yankees pitcher Andy Pettite. Although he proved to be a productive force in the lineup for Minnesota, Cleveland and Baltimore over his career, he never topped his rookie campaign.

Klauke’s Take: “There was a lot of argument at the time when Cordova beat out Angels great Garret Anderson for Rookie of the Year in 1995 but he was certainly deserving based on his performance that year. Marty is also famous–or infamous–for missing a couple of weeks because he fell asleep in a tanning bed while he was playing for the Baltimore Orioles.”   

#3 Reggie Willits

Bees: .305/.413/.392, 132 R, 47 SB in 169 games.

ML Career: .269/.363/.312, 141 R, 39 SB in 365 games.

In late April of 2007 when the Angels’ All-Star clean-up hitter Garret Anderson headed to the DL, the little outfielder that could filled his shoes in a big, big way. In his rookie campaign with the big club, Reggie hit .293 with 74 runs scored and 27 stolen bases and finished 5th in AL ROY voting and he certainly made an impression.

Klauke’s Take: “Reggie really made a name for himself in that great 2007 season which he has unfortunately not been able to replicate since.”

Honorable Mention: Peter Bourjos

Bees: .314/.364/.498, 13 HR, 13 2B, 12 3B, 85 R, 27 SB in 102 games.

ML Career: .203/.254/.354, 2 HR, 4 2B, 1 3B, 4 SB in 24 games.

The current Angels’ center fielder gets a nod for two reasons: 1) his absolutely torrid month of July in which the speedster hit .438 with a PCL record 56 hits and 37 runs scored, and 2) the fact that he supplanted in center perhaps the greatest center fielder of the decade in Torii Hunter.

All-Time Bees: Catcher

One unique fact about all three catchers on this list is that each has a World Championship ring and each won with a different team. Here’s who we’ve got.

Bees: .302/.351/.445, 21 HR, 178 RBI in 272 games.
ML Career: .262/.329/.411, 87 HR, 406 RBI in 989 games.
The journeyman Miller played for five different clubs over his 10-year Major League career but won his World Championship in 2001 with the Arizona Diamondbacks. While his numbers on offense are solid for a backstop, Miller established himself as one of the game’s premier defensive catchers. Over the course of his career, Miller has caught some of the most dominant pitchers of the last decade including Randy Johnson, Curt Schilling, Mark Mulder, Tim Hudson, Barry Zito, Ben Sheets and Yovani Gallardo.  
Klauke’s Take: ”Miller caught Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling back during the Diamondbacks’ 2001 championship run and was also the catcher for that Cubs team in 2003 that got on a roll until they got derailed by the Marlins in the NLCS. It seemed like wherever he went, though, his team won.”
Bees: .277/.312/.401, 12 HR, 80 RBI in 167 games.
ML Career: .283/.323/.423, 117 HR, 589 RBI in 1337 games.
The outspoken backstop now playing for the Chicago White Sox has been a fan-favorite in each of the three big league cities where he’s played, while producing both at and behind the plate. Pierzynski has enjoyed a storied career that has seen him catch a no-hitter (Mark Buerhle’s in 2007), play in two All-Star games (2002, 2008) and take hoist the World Championship trophy in 2005. 
Klauke’s Take: “Public Enemy #1 to a lot of teams. At one point, I actually thought his career was over with. He struggled to the point where he had been to the big leagues but started out the 2000 season at Double-A and I don’t know what happened–maybe he realized that this was his chance and if he didn’t take advantage of it his career could be over–but something clicked with him and he became an accomplished catcher and his offense came back. He certainly made a nice turn around and has had a great career since.”
Bees: .304/.345/.419, 9 HR, 74 RBI in 140 games.
ML Career: .238/.282/.336, 24 HR, 145 RBI in 601 games.
The second of the three Molina brothers currently catching in the Majors (Bengie for Texas and Yadier for St. Louis), Jose played for the Bees in 2001 and 2002 and made quite the impression with his skills. Like Miller, Molina is generally regarded as a top-tier defensive catcher with decent abilities at the plate. He is currently fourth among active catchers in caught stealing percentage (41%) and led the league in that category as recently as 2008 at 44%. [An interested side note regarding the Molinas: Once Jose accomplished that feat in 2008, all three Molina brothers have at one point in their careers led their respective leagues in caught stealing percentage (Bengie in 2002/2003, Jose in 2008 and Yadier in 2005/2007/2010).]
Klauke’s Take: “He spent the better parts of two seasons with Salt Lake and, like his brothers, Jose proved he is about as solid as they get behind the plate.”
Even though Jose has played third-fiddle to his brothers as well as the other two catchers on this list, he still has them beat in perhaps the most important statistic there is: World Championships. Jose won it all with the Angels in 2002 and again in 2009 with the Yankees.

Future Bees: August 2 – August 23

After a few weeks off, we’re back with the latest “Future Bees” for the month of August. Here are some of the big preformers lower down on the farm.

Double-A Arkansas Travelers (25-30, 4th in TEX North): One guy who has definitely not received all the respect he deserves from this blog is Travs outfielder Jeremy Moore. Perhaps it was due to his slow start, but regardless the reason, he has earned it, not only from us here at Bees Wax, but also from the Texas League who named him Player of the Week today. The 23 year-old Louisiana-native is hitting .364 since the All-Star Break while showcasing his power (six home runs, seven triples) and speed (12 stolen bases) in 44 games. Also under-recognized here is the dominant reliever Jeremy Berg. The 24 year-old earned Texas League Pitcher of the Week Honors for the week ending August 15th after allowing only one hit in 6.1 innings pitched over four outings and not allowing a run to cross the plate.

High-A Rancho Cucamonga Quakes (28-27, 3rd in CAL South): After a slow start following his promotion to Rancho, superman Mike Trout has returned to his mashing ways. Since August 1st, the five-tool outfielder is hitting .346 with five stolen bases in 19 games and seems to be getting more comfortable at the plate at the higher level. Third baseman and fellow Futures Game participant with Trout, Luis Jimenez, has likewise stepped up his game after a slow transition and is hitting .308 in August. 

Low-A Cedar Rapids Kernels (31-23, 2nd in MID West): 2009 first round pick outfielder Randal Grichuk is back with the squad after spending a few months on the DL and in Tempe rehabbing. Since returning to Cedar Rapids, the hard-hitting 19 year-old (he just turned 19 last on the 13th) is batting.322 with two home runs, three triples and eight doubles in 14 games. Grichuk joins an already potent lineup–the most potent in the Midwest League, in fact–with infielder Jean Segura (.381 BA in August), center fielder Matt Long (.421 OBP Post All-Star Break) and Casey Haerther (.333 BA since May).

Rookie Orem Owlz (14-7, 1st in PIO South): We all knew it was only a matter of time before Tom Kotchman’s boys started hitting and everyone in the Pioneer League is now stuck facing the red-hot Owlz. Led by Andrew Heid at the top of the lineup and Brandon Decker in the middle, the Owlz have averaged nearly eight runs per game (7.8) while holding opponents to a little under 5 runs per game (4.7). Heid now has an organizational-best .354 batting average (.398 in August) while Decker has 19 RBI in 15 August games while hitting .438. and sporting a straight up ridiculous 1.435 OPS. 

Rookie AZL Angels (21-28, 4th in AZL East): The Arizona Angels got a nice pick-up when the Angels completed a deal with first round draft pick Kaleb Cowart and assigned him to Tempe. The 18 year-old third baseman picked up his first professional hit on Thursday with a two-RBI single but has gone 0-for-6 in his other at-bats with the club. Meanwhile, diminutive shortstop Wendell Soto (weighing in at 150 lbs. and measuring 5’8″) has shown his size is not an impediment to being an effective ballplayer. In August, the Sarasota, Florida native is hitting .345 (19/55) with seven stolen bases in 14 games played.

All-Time Bees: Third Base

Salt Lake has seen its share of great third basemen over the past 16 years, but none greater than number one on our list.
Bees: .317/.406/.529, 12 HR, 52 RBI and 22 2B in 80 games.
ML Career: .265/.337/.446, 157 HR, 567 RBI in 1155 games (12 seasons).
The Dodgers’ current third baseman spent a little over half a season in Salt Lake in 2000 but definitely left an impression. In his 12 Major Leagues seasons between Toronto, Minnesota, Cleveland and LA, Blake has steadily produced on both sides of the ball averaging 22 home runs and 79 RBI while executing solid glove work at the hot corner. 
Klauke’s Take: “If you’re basing this list on his Major League career in addition to his time with the Bees (which we are), you have to put Blake at the top. Casey was known as a glove man before he came up to Salt Lake where he really developed as a hitter.”
Bees: .301/.374/.539, 26 HR, 105 RBI and 15 SB in 135 games.
ML Career: .275/.367/.458, 124 HR, 506 RBI, 516 R in 989 games over 9 seasons.
The Manitoba, Canada native put together a solid career during his nine seasons in the big leagues. Though none better than 2001 when the left-handed hitter jacked 26 homers while driving in 103 runs, scoring 100 himself and swiping 27 bags, Koskie provided solid production from the hot corner for the Twins, Blue Jays and Brewers every year.
Klauke’s Take: “Hard-nosed guy that didn’t let much get in his way and maybe it was that bulldogishness that eventually cut his career short due to a concussion. He was a tough guy who was a little above average defensively and obviously a great hitter who was always fun to watch.”
Robb
Bees: .317/.365/.483, 32 HR, 209 RBI in 307 games.
ML Career: .276/.322/.401, 25 HR, 121 RBI, 134 R in 1112 AB (458 games)
Tom
Bees: .281/.349/.459, 32 HR, 169 RBI in 251 games.
ML Career: .155/.234/.259, 1 HR, 5 RBI in 42 games.
The Quinlan brothers represent two of the greatest third basemen in Bees history, even though Robb spent more of his time in Salt Lake at first base or in the outfield. Tom was a solid contributer for the Buzz on both ’95 and ’96 squads playing stellar defense while putting up decent numbers at the plate. Several years later, though, in 2002 Robb came up and hit everything in sight, propelling him to the Angels Major League roster for most of the rest of the decade. Robb served as Mike Scioscia’s go-to bench player filling in for various players in the corner infield and outfield positions while occasionally taking his turn at DH as well as coming up in pinch-hit situations on four AL West Division Champion teams.
Klauke’s Take: “If only we could combine Tom’s glove with Robb’s bat, they would have a Gold-Gloves at the Major League level. Tom is, in my view, still the greatest defensive third baseman to ever wear the uniform and we have all seen what Robb was able to do with the bat with the Angels. Put those two together, and they would top this list.”
Honorable Mention: Adam Pavkovich
Bees: .261/.339/.401, 49 HR, 253 RBI, 253 R, 31 SB over 531 games. 
ML Career: N/A
Just being the franchise record-holder for most games played with the Bees (531) is at the very least deserving of recognition on the list of All-Time greats to put on the uniform. Although never a superstar for the Bees, Pavkovich was a solid contributer for the greater parts of five years (2005-2009) both all over the diamond and in the batters box despite never making an appearance in the Majors. 

All-Time Bees: Shortstop

 
Bees: .278/.336/.386, 12 HR, 126 RBI, 175 R in 284 games.
ML Career: .251/.311/.341, 12 HR, 106 RBI, 167 R in 544 games.
 
Despite being an incredible defensive shortstop, the now eight-year Major League veteran made the move to center field while with the Marlins in 2006 and has since developed into a super-ulitity player. The diminutive native of Mexico (generously marked at 5’10″, 180 lbs.) has accomplished the rare feat of playing every position on the diamond except pitcher and catcher during his Major League career.
 
Klauke’s Take: ”Even though he’s primarily played center field in the big leagues, Alfredo Amezaga probably deserves the top spot on this list. He is as spectacular a shortstop as we’ve ever had, particularly with the double-play combination he formed with Figgins. Together they were about as fun to watch as I’ve ever seen and the guy could fly around the bases.
 
 
Bees: .280/.327/.402, 16 HR, 154 RBI, 27 SB in 266 games.
ML Career: .251/.310/.344, 25 HR, 226 RBI, 294 R in 954 games (13 seasons).
 
Hocking was never a star at any level but the versatile outfielder became a valuable asset to the Twins teams between ’96 and ’03 and, like Amezaga, actually saw playing time at every position on the field except for pitcher and catcher.
 
Klauke’s Take: “I have to give a tip of the cap to Hocking who was with the team in the ’90s as a Twin and went on to spend eight and half years with the team in the big leagues so I think he definitely qualifies among the tops on the list. He was the player in ’02 who notoriously injured himself in the victory celebration in Oakland after the Twins won the Division Series and consequently was unable to play in the ALCS against the Angels.”
 

#3 Erick Aybar

Bees: .285/.327/.410, 6 HR, 47 RBI, 65 R, 34 SB in 84 games.
ML Career: .282/.326/.377, 13 HR, 140 RBI, 206 R, 41 SB in 445 games.
 
The Angels lead-off man for most of 2010 has had flashes of brilliance highlighted by his stellar performance in the 2009 season when he led the best-hitting team in the Majors in batting average at .313. Prior to 2009, Aybar struggled as a part-time player as he split time with Orlando Cabrera and Maicer Izturis at shortstop. The adjustment to the lead-off position this year seems to have taken its toll on the young switch-hitting native of the Dominican Republic, but he still possesses all the traits to make him an All-Star for years to come at shortstop. 
 
Klauke’s Take: ”He only played 84 games in a Salt Lake uniform and three of those were on rehab in ’07. He wasn’t particularly spectacular, but he has since shown that he’s an incredible shortstop with the big club.”
 
Honorable Mention: Brandon Wood
 
Bees: .283/.350/.536, 77 HR, 236 RBI in 330 games.
ML Career: .181/.206/.275, 10 HR, 31 RBI in 143 games.
 
Prior to the 2006 season, Baseball America ranked Brandon as the number 3 prospect in the game after his monster 2005 campaign in which he hit .321 while smashing 43 home runs and 115 RBI for High-A Rancho Cucamonga. His three seasons with the Bees were enough to allow him to claim the all-time club record for home runs with 76 (he has since added another HR during his rehab stint with the club in early June). Although he has struggled so far in the big leagues, his illustrious minor league career at the very least merits consideration as one of the greatest Bees. 
 
Klauke’s Take: ”Obviously it’s been a big struggle for him in the big leagues. We just hope he can put things together.”

Future Bees: July 26 – August 1

Double-A Arkansas Travelers (14-22, 4th in TEX North): A couple of former Bees made appearances for Arkansas this month including outfielder Nick Gorneault and pitchers Trevor Reckling and Anthony Ortega. Gorneault’s bat has come alive since he returned to Arkansas as he’s gone 19-for-45 (.422) with three home runs and 11 RBI in 11 games. Reckling made two starts for the Travs this week earning a win and a no-decision as he allowed two earned runs on four hits over 10 innings pitched while walking four and striking out 13. Ortega made his first start outside of Arizona this week for the Travelers but lasted only 2.2 innings as he gave up four runs (one earned).

High-A Rancho Cucamonga Quakes (21-16, T1st in CAL South): The Angels’ favorite son Mike Trout endured his worst slump of the 2010 season when he went 2-for-20 this week. The Angels top prospect broke out of it Sunday though with a 4-for-4 preformance that should assuage any fears that the superhuman was in fact mortal after all. ESPN.com’s Keith Law isn’t worried. Another recent addition to the Quakes is hard-throwing righty Garrett Richards who, in his first start for Rancho, struck out seven and managed to give up only one run in 5.2 innings pitched despite allowing 10 hits.

Low-A Cedar Rapids Kernels (20-14, 3rd in MID West): The Bees got a taste of speedy infielder Jean Segura last summer when, in seven games with Salt Lake, the Domincan youngster went 8-for-19 (.421). Now with Cedar Rapids, Segura is climbing up the Angels’ depth charts thanks to his .303 batting average, 60 RBI, 64 runs scored and 38 stolen bases. On Sunday the second baseman went 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored with a walk and three stolen bases.

Rookie Orem Owlz (1-1, T2nd in PIO South): The Angels 16th round selection in this years draft, third baseman Thomas Nichols, is also the newest RBI leader for the Owlz after an impressive week at the plate. The infielder out of Georgia Tech has hit safely in each of his last five games played going 8-for-19 (.421) over that span with two home runs and six RBI.

Rookie AZL Angels (14-19, 4th in AZL East): Infielder Taylor Lindsey, an Angels second round pick in the 2010 draft, strung together five consecutive multi-hit games this week to raise his average to .279 while rehabbing 2009 first rounder Randal Grichuk is getting his swing back in Arizona. Grichuk is hitting .341 with three homers, three doubles and two triples in ten games and has an OPS of 1.118.
