    Re: Mark Bellhorn tied for the ML lead in Walks?!?

    He actually showed me something when he was with the Cubbies, hitting for pretty good power and average. After switching leagues, pitchers most likely don't know the complete report on his swing yet, causing them to be more cautious than is probably necessary.

    However - all of this doesn`t mean much, considering we're only about two weeks or so into the season. I`d love to see Bellhorn do good, though.

      I think it's more the switch from NL to AL that's causing the pitchers to be careful with him. They haven't really figured out how to pitch to him, and they know he's a decent threat to go yard, so they're just being careful.

      He also had 3 Ks last night, so I'm really not so sure about that.

            Bellhorn was drafted by the A's during there little run a couple years ago. Which means high OBP. When he had his good year for the cubs he had a low BA. ,but the highest OBP on the team that year plus hit 27-30 I forget. I'd take Todd Walker and Aramis Ramirez any day over him, but he is the perfect do it all little player.
