Giants fans, question about Nate Schierholtz

hive17 · Jun 27, 2009

What is the local concensus on this guy. I've always liked him, and I bought a small stash for decent prices that I have been holding.

Basically, I'm really waiting to move this:

1/25

He is pretty good. Has a lot of power and is really fast. He was robbed of a homer today!

Any other thoughts. HR today.

He's the man. I really like him. He has a cannon for an arm and is quick as hell. He's just never been able to hit at the major league level. He has clearly turned that around. He'll be in right field for a while.

Nate can hit. In 56 AB's this June he's hit .393/.417/.625. Combined that with Fred Lewis' struggles and Bochy is going to play Schierholtz lots more. He should be the starting right fielder.

He's been a AAAA player for a while now, he's needs to either break out or the Giants will release him in a season or two.

The 3 walks in 4 years is a bit alarming?

He's legit....just a victim of not having a chance to play every day at the MLB level the past few years, and his stats can't really be read into too much due to sporadic at-bats the past couple years. He's never going to walk much, but he does have a decent eye at the plate...Pablo MANdoval doesn't draw too many walks, but he also doesn't strike out a ton, and Schierholtz could be similar. He's also got a cannon arm in right, and developing power. It's a joke that the likes of Winn and Fred Lewis (an atrocious defender) have started so many games instead of him, but that's how it goes for guys breaking in at the MLB level who aren't 'top' prospects.

Bonus: he doesn't wear batting gloves, wears his socks high...and totally leveled that one guy at the olympics.
