Thumbs up Re: Melky Cabrera @ itzmotto

Agree...matter of fact, there are a number of things that are not correct with his CAP....I've seen him basically everyday since his call up. For one, his batting stance has changed a WHOLLLLE lot from last year. It's close to what Cano has, but not quite. Solution? I gave him A. Jones' stance. Since he is more open, bat is more up....almost at 45 degrees.

His weight is listed at 170....all you need to do is look at him once, and you can see he's closer to 190lbs/athletic

1-3-w3-low

I said I wouldnt do this anymore, but anyway, his minor league splits for 2005...between Trenton and Columbus were: .233 vsR and .358 vsL

Based off of 2005 only, I have his ratings as:

30 40 80 70 65 70 75 70 60 60 75 75

You're right about his tendencies...especially with the breaking balls. In 2005, it's written in the scouting report that he (Cabrera) "...can hammer breaking balls..." For those that don't know, batter tendencies are in relation to the players' average from both sides of the plate, their total number of walks and strikeouts...as well as their reputation regarding chasing pitches.

My tendencies are:

Fastball: 60 65 0 10 55 55
Curve: 40 75 0 0 65 80
Slider: 55 60 10 30 65 80

Also in the tendancies for the curveball does that make him good or bad His strengths in the minors were said to be hitting the breaking stuff.
