2005 - .300, 20 HR

Are you a sportswriter? 2005: TWENTY-TWO YEAR OLD IN SINGLE A. Duh?

2006 - .292, only 8 HR, but a 52:77 BB:K ratio (showing improvement of a young hitter)

2006: .292/.360/.415 line at age 23 in Double-A... in a hitter's league (2006 park factor: 1021).

2007 - .305, 13 HR (before call up, 6 more HR after call up)

[/ QUOTE ]

.285/.348/.479 line as a 24-year-old in Triple-A PCL, a massive hitter's park (park factors past three years: 1047/1073/1089) while most of the rest of the league is also in ginormous hitter's parks. Unimpressive.

Charlotte is also a hitter's park, though not a huge one. But it was all BA driven, so good luck with that.

Richar has the tools to be a .280-.300 hitter with 20 HR pop.

In what world do you think minor league stats translate exactly to the MLB? He's a career .293 in the minors, so he's going to be a .300 hitter in the MLB? He has a career .293/.342//.442 line in the minors despite being old for almost every level he was at and playing in massive hitter's parks and leagues. He has no upside and is not very good. If he's a league-average 2B the Sox should be ecstatic.

Again, unless his D is amazing, he is unimpressive.
