Case Study Of Max Kepler's Breakout Team

316 Words2 Pages

For many people within the Minnesota Twins organization, it will be a big relief to see Max Kepler is finally having a breakout year. For the Twins, it will seem like an eternity waiting for Kepler 's breakout season to come. Since he became the most expensive European rookie hitter, he has been performing above average. The only problem has been he 's not been as far above average as the Twins were hoping. Many have failed to take into account his European background, which means that his growth to a Major League player may be a little outside the norm. Nonetheless, Kepler has hit three home runs, five triples, and 17 doubles so far in Double-A this season. This is after 49 games, so it 's easy to see why so many people believe Kepler has

    But being merely 24 and as well only completing his rookie season, let’s hope Torreyes would be able to improve as a hitter. Nevertheless, we will see more of Torreyes as his rookie season with the Yankees was more or less a success. His ability to play nearly every position on the field has caused Torreyes to catch the eye of many fans and as well as the organization as a whole.

  • The Influence Of Hamels On The Texas Rangers

    299 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Texas Rangers currently sit atop the AL West by 6 games over the Houston Astros led by the forgotten ace Cole Hamels. Hamels was dealt to the Rangers at the deadline last July and hasn 't missed a beat the former world champion has put together a quiet 12-2 record with a 2.84 ERA putting him in Cy Young conversation. Hamels has been one of the most consistent pitchers in baseball for 10 years being the ace for two different clubs and helps lead the Phillies to a championship in 2008 as I mentioned. Since putting on the Rangers uniform he is 19-3 and amazingly he hasn 't been talked about as much as he should because he is out West. I think that 's been a great benefit for Hamels because although he is the ace he is not “the guy” as he was in the latter part of his Phillies career.

Greg Maddux off the baseball diamond may look like a high school history teacher to some, but it was his work on the mound that earned him the nickname the professor. While Greg Maddux may not exactly fit what some say the best pitcher in baseball is supposed to look like it’s his statistics that say for the better part of his career he was. We’ve all been outmatched at some point in our lives; for some it was mentally, and for others it was physically. Greg Maddux is no exception to this because unlike Randy Johnson who was 6 foot 10 inches tall and left handed or Roger Clemens who was 6 foot 4 inches tall and weighed around 250 pounds Greg was physically outmatched everyday when he showed up to the ballpark.

Even when the Cowboys’ run first philosophy finally had a breakout performance, gashing the Giants’ defense for 233 team rushing yards, with Darren McFadden handling a heavy workload (29 of the teams 41 attempts for 152 yards and score), it wasn’t enough for the Cowboys to stop the bleeding.
