He's hitting:


2008 Winter League
Team League
AZU DWL
AVG G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI TB BB SO SB CS OBP SLG OPS
.318 13 44 8 14 0 0 1 6 17 7 9 0 0 .386 .820

During his first 14 games.

I saw him play against my hometown Licey Tigers the other day, and he hit a go-ahead, 3-run homer in the 8th inning (eventual game winner), threw out a runner, blocked 2 possible wild pitches, also hit a single and scored a run, took a BB to reach base 3 times.

And tonight, against Gigantes Del Cibao lefty Fabio Castro he just hit and RBI double in the first inning AND threw out a would-be basestealer at 2nd.

So make that 7 RBI and a double.

Dude has some tools.

I wish Brown were a little younger. If he was 24 or 25 and doing what he did this year in AAA then using him as the heir to 'Tek would probably be a lot more popular a solution. He's looking like one of those guys who does everything pretty well -- but he's 26 in his first year of AAA and 1 bad Spring away from permanent AAAA status (which is a big reason why I *HATE* the term) as a 27 year old catcher in AAA.

This guy looks very much like he's broken through but the problem is he doesn't really have any time left to prove it before he's 27 and officially off the radar screen. If he wants to be anything more than an also-ran he needs to make a big league roster this year.

IMHO, Sox sent him over here for the winter so he has a chance to prove he deserves a shot, since this is one of the toughest leagues around (probably above AAA), plus this league beats Philly and NY for Most.Annoying.Fans.Ever, if a foreigner can keep his cool in this league and produce, which he's doing on offense and defense, chances are you'll get a shot to prove yourself at the Bigs.

That is, of course, unless the Sox acquire Russell Martin or one of the Texas big 3, (3,'cause Laird, really?, come on.....), otherwise he'll probably have a shot.

Would you rather have a player that hits for a higher average, gets on base more, and has some power, but strikes out a little bit more, or a player who is 37 years old, has hit for little power, and has shown a decline in most areas of his game?

.800+ OPS for a catcher is always very, very good, and so is a .300+ AVG. Yeah, AVG doesn't count for much, but if a guy's making good contact, the power will usually come.

I don't concern myself with lack of power when we're dealing with small sample sizes since it often stems from lack of opportunity rather than lack of skill. He's getting on base at a tremendous rate and that matters more to me. Besides, we know that Brown can hit for a bit of power since he's had decent SLG the last couple seasons in AA and AAA and the question for him right now is consistency, which a high OBP is the best possible sign to answer.

People underestimate Brown incredibly round here. Soxprospects.com says that he's probably a solid big league backup catcher right now and has the talent to earn his way into a starting role.

There's a reason I'm fine with a Kottaras-Brown platoon, and not just because I think Kottaras will evolve into a 20-HR big league catcher. Brown is a talented catcher in his own right and is exactly what Boston likes in a catcher with his patience and approach.

Half the teams in baseball, Brown would have been up midseason last year. It's possible with our unique catcher situation we're the only team in the majors for whom Brown would not have debuted last year in fact. And even there -- Brown's qualified to handle the knuckler and if something happened to Cash or Tek he's probably the first one up as emergency filler.

Give the kid a chance and I bet he'll pleasantly surprise us all. He's certainly got the talent, the only question is will he use his opportunities well enough to stick here, or will he become one of those journeyman backups that flit around the league for awhile until they stick with a situation they can thrive in.

I loathe the term AAAA when applied to non-debuted players. How the heck do we know whether a guy who happens to be 27 years or above in age might not become a perfectly good big leaguer if given a shot?

AAAA should be reserved for true tweeners like Shane Costa or David Pauley who do all right in AAA but never manage to do anything when given a look in the big leagues. Not guys like Brown or Bailey who might do fine if they could only be actually given a chance.

And since when did you become a scout/talent evaluator?

Besides, it's not like anyone says he'd be a long-term solution for the Sox at the C position.

He was drafted in 1993 by the Twins and he did not sign. Then he was drafted again by the Mariners in 1994, then signed to play an Independent League until he finally agreed terms with them and started playing in the Mariners' minor league system in 1995.

Know Google? Yeah I think you do, because you googled that picture just to make an ass out of yourself. Posting a 'Yoda' pic to prove a point, pathetic. Great job, know take time and do some research, and get to know your OWN players.

How a 1st round player like Varitek compares to Dusty Brown? Because according to you Brown did it "A la Varitek". It took Brown from 2001 to 2008 to put his first 'above average' season in the minors. What a joke. Comparing Varitek to a 3rd Catcher, wooho. :thumbsup:

But we're talking about late bloomers, and 'Tek didn't earn his starting spot until age '26, the reasons are irrelevant, but the fact is that Varitek didn't become an offensive and defensive star unti 2000, or age 28, so i don't get what's your point, meddling yankee fan, because if a catcher becomes a star at age 28, that, is a late bloomer isn't it?

Hmm what? You totally changed the subject.

All I said it took Dusty Brown like 6 years to go from A- to AAA, where he finally putted an above 'average season', (even if his K% was around 28% that's kinda close to Adam Dunn's). You claim he did it "A la Varitek". How is that "A la Varitek"?

At age 26, Tek was already in the majors fighting to get the starting role. At that age Dusty Brown was splitting time in AAA with Kottaras.

At age 27, and his first MLB full season, Tek hitted .269/.330/.482 with 20 HRs. Next year, Brown will probably do that, yeah in the International League, during his 9th season in the minor leagues.

So how's that "A la Varitek"?

So you don't think Brown can produce an offensive season near Varitek's first full season, well how do you know that?

Through extensive research of his statistics?

Or just being a lame-o and coming here to thrash the guy 'cause you wanna be an annoying prick?

And btw, FIGHTING for s starting role would be correct, which means he was not regarded a starting catcher at the time and had to earn it.

Anyways, why don't you just:

Yeah he has been in the minors or 8 seasons so far, because he's soooooo GOOD. He's the 2nd Catcher of a AAA team, Wow niceee. :thumbsup:

If he's so great, why he didn't got a callup while Varitek was hitting like .200 at least as a backup. Maybe because they're not so high on him? Because everyone agrees he got nothing?

And he won't put an offensive near Tek's in the majors, because he'll never play a full season in the majors. He was considered the 3rd Catcher for the Red Sox this season, even Cash was ahead of him.

So how's that "A la Varitek"?

Screw Salty or Teagarden, according to you Dusty Brown is the next Varitek. You showed the greatest arguments ever, based on "Stfu" pics, lame imo.

Dipre
11-12-2008, 09:10 AM
Strawman

I haven't said Brown is the next Varitek, i simply stated that he could be a late bloomer, which is why i mentioned Varitek, because he became an above-average regular at a technically old age.

Strawman

I haven't said i don't want Salty or Teagarden or whatever young catcher in the Sox, i just said that if they end up costing too much, a 'Tek, Brown platoon will not embarass itself in the lower part of the order. In fact, i have specifically advocated for the Sox acquiring Salty, and that, my friend, unlike any of the gibberish you keep posting here, is a fact.

It is also known that sometimes catchers take a long time to develop, and that's the only reason why i mentioned Varitek, because he wasn't an absolute superstar by the time he was 25, like, say, Joe Mauer, but i suppose it's easier for you to be annoying, use strawman arguments, and give a bad name to concise, smart yankee fans everywhere.

Varitek sat out seasons for money.....rather than flounder in rookie ball for 3 years.

There really arent many late bloomers past the age hes reaching. How many guys can you really think of 27 and older who made an impact....Daubach comes to mind. Kevin Millar was 27 when he broke out. Chris Coste the backup catcher. Jaime Moyer comes to mind. Casey Blake and Jose Guillen had to wait some years before given full time jobs. Wakefield was 28 when he turned his career around....but not very many man. Maybe a lefty specialist here or there who goes from starter to reliever but it is defintately more common for a prospect rather than a fringe player approaching his 27th birthday.

Jack Cust, Ryan Ludwick. Mike Aviles, Jeremy Guthrie, Carlos Pena, Rick Ankiel, Brendan Donnelly, Jorge Campillo, JJ Putz, and that's just from the list of currently active players and only counting all-star quality ballplayers, which is a level we really aren't expecting Brown to reach.

I believe Brown broke through this year but wasn't given a chance to prove it at the big league level because of the congestion at the catcher position. It's not a question therefore of waiting for him to get it after age 26. He got it at age 26 and it's a question of letting him prove it..

.290/.374/.471 in 84 AAA games.

His K% was 27.3%, you can expect those numbers to rise in the majors.

His BB%, was 11.9%, who's gonna pitch around a backup Catcher?

His BABIP was .363. Hmmm smells like.... FLUKE

Defense is solid, BA flukish, i will give you that, but SLG% is usually not affected by BA, and no one expects Dusty to hit for much BA anyways, and his power and defense are real, and IMMHO, that's more than what you need from a bottom of the order hitter.

Bottom line is, he wouldn't embarass himself batting 8th in the order, and that, coupled with his outstanding defense is indication enough that he could at least hold down the fort if needed until a marquee name or uber-prospect is acquired.

Ludwick and Pena was never given a chance anywhere they went.

Ankiel was a pitcher and transformed himself.

Brown is someone who we shouldn't have in any plans for the MLB club. Maybe with some major injuries of several players he could get a chance, but right now I don't see much. Still if he makes it to the majors and contributes, great for him, whether it be for the Red Sox of some other club. I have no reason to sit here and deny his dream, I would just rather have someone else for the position before him.

Ususally when guys have a breakthough (even if BABIP suggests fluke) they are usually given a chance to prove themselves in the majors even as a backup.

And besides, there's not a lot you need to prove when the organization is as thin as the Red Sox are in the position he plays in.

Or would you rather have a more expensive, declining Greg Zaun or Ivan Rodriguez at the position if a trade doesn't happen?

Jack Cust is a power hitting slugger, always was.......not a Catcher who floundered in A ball for 3 years. Cust was always on the fringe of being a MLB slugger....reminds me of Russell Branyan, just that Cust put it together faster to stay on a roster.

Ludwick has at least bounced around the big leagues before given a shot......not floundered for 6 seasons before hitting .300 in winter ball.

Aviles....you may have a point with him, looks like a guy who was never given a shot regardless of putting up great numbers albeit AAA, not rookie league.

Guthrie....I think the jury is still out on him, although he put up very good numbers and had a great BB/K ratio.

Donnelly wasnt given a shot bc he was a scab....just like Daubach.....he was a scab, and he was blackballed.

Campillo has fluke written all over him. The low K numbers, 18 HR in 150 Innings and an even hit to IP ratio will eventually catch up to him.

Putz is a legit older career gem.

Carlos Pena really doesnt fit....he went from prospect, to bust, to star, to bust.....to star back and forth.

Ankiel was a star pitcher before becoming an OF, there really were no expectations for him as an OF, so he doesnt fit either.

Still though, thats nine players you came up with off the top of your head.....how many prospect players can you think of who rose to stardum faster? Christ....the Sox roster alone almost provides as many.......are you wrong? no.....its just more unlikely.

Check this out about those 3 year struggles in A ball

Brown OBP by year:

2003 (Augusta) .358 (.263 AVG .095 IsoD)
2004 (Sarasota) .321 (.229 AVG, .092 IsoD)
2005 (Wilmington) .348 (.256 AVG, .092 IsoD)

Looks like a fellow who struggled with average but took his share of walks in those "poor" seasons. Couple that with his defensive reputation and I really don't think those numbers are a problem.

My point is that the issue with Brown isn't his ability to get on base, per se. Power was a much bigger issue.

Brown's hardly the first catcher to spend a lot of time in A-ball. The real problem with Brown's minor league career as a whole is the lost year in 2006 in Portland. If he'd hit then, he'd probably have been our heir to Mirabelli.

And BA affects OBP, in case you don't know. Is not only "working the strike zone".

And your point about BA directly affecting OBP becmes moot when looking at players like Adam Dunn, low ocntact but high selectivity= Low BA but high OBP..... or so the numbers say.........

But i feel proud of my intelligence seeing as how you actually went to MLB.com and checked his non-existent MLB stats,lol.

Yeah sure, feel proud about the tiny bit of intelligence you have. To predict MLB numbers based on Winter Leagues numbers.

Oh wait, that was a joke too, don't feel offended. :lol:

I like having fun with you...

He doesn't have MLB numbers, you know it, yet ask where the numbers are, yet you go look through MLB.com to get picture proof when we know he has no MLB experience, so i feel good about having fun at your expense and still stand by my point that he could post a .360 OBP in the Majors, thank you, and Good Night Seattle........
