.298/.389/.494/.883 with 30 doubles, 24 HRs and 10 triples per 162, across 2.2 162 game seasons with a .46 batting eye, ages 21-23 in the high minors at a glove position.
If I gave you that stat line and just left the Ks off, what would you think of it?
The one bad number is the Ks, which you don't get to see here. The batting eye isn't stupendous, but certainly survivable.
The strikeout figure helps better interpret this data set, but just based on this, which is not a small sample size, what's the impression? It's both really impressive...and just a bit better than Mike Saunders and his .280/.373/.457/.830 AAA line at the same basic ages. Does Robinson have the same sort of fatal flaws to work out before he can succeed in the bigs?
I find Trayvon's .300 BA while striking out that much to be intriguing. It's something Greg Halman could never do, for instance. Or Carlos Peguero, or Mario Martinez, or any of our other really-free-swingers. It's even 20 points better than Saunders, who also strikes out a lot at 24% career, though 21.5% in AAA. I'd be REALLY curious to know what Jack's scouts told him about Trayvon's swing and potential to reduce his Ks by 20 a year.
Because especially if Trayvon is the 2nd piece in the trade, he's a really interesting piece.
