Calm down G.  Yes Tui is still fanning a ton.  He has a long ways to go still.
.....
The 150 OPS+ is tongue-in-cheek but as I've explained many times, it is Tui's swing type x his physical attributes that I see.  Not his performance to date.  At age 21, Mike Piazza fanned 68 times and walked 11 in class-A ball in half a year.
Racking up a bunch of stats on Matt Tuiasosopo, comparing him to others on paper, is going to miss the point.  Some players, you have to watch them play.  People wrote up Adam Jones' stats early on and missed the point on him, too.

I back Halman a lot more than most people do, but Roger Jongewaard never comp'ed Halman to Ken Griffey Jr. and Halman doesn't have the ability to let the ball travel three feet deep into the strike zone.
I visualize Tui three stages on.  So does Wakamatsu.
