I was in Gent for a couple weeks last year. Antwerp and #Brussels look amazing, but haven't spent any time there really. Gent is utterly charming. Takingnotes, the Belgians think very highly of #Oregon beer. #Singles #Villon #newyork-single.com #Chat:10-9-14_3:12pm

Cole Gillespie FAQ

.

Q. Whud he do wrong in the minors?

A. He didn't do anything wrong.

He had a big college career at Oregon State, and he rose through the minors 1 level per year, always hitting .300/.400/.500. Give or take.

He got a few looks in the bigs, hit kinda mediocre. He's just a guy who never showed the "specialness" that pushes you past a Dustin Ackley or a Justin Smoak.

In AAA, for example, he has spent 6 years raking to the tune of .292/.388/.483. Nice OBP! But like Spectator says, you've got the John Jaso rule to think about: if your power isn't scary, don't plan on all the walks sticking around for long.

Well, not normally ... Dustin Pedroia, Victor Martinez, Carlos Santana, Zobrist, Choo, it's possible to maintain a high OBP with gap power.

I remember watching a meteor shower on a beach on the #Oregon coast. It was pretty amazing. #Singles #loveintheair #newyork-single.com
