Bubba and Logan Update 061315

This is the ninth update for 2015 on Bubba Starling and Logan Moon. Bubba Starling was the Royals first round pick in 2011 and is from Gardner, KS. Starling is still young as he will be 23 on August 3rd. Moon was drafted by the Royals in the sixth round in 2014. Moon played in college at Missouri Southern and is a bit older having turned 23 on February 15. Both Starling and Moon started out 2015 as teammates in the outfield at Class A Advanced Wilmington. A hot start by Bubba earned him a promotion to Double A Northwest Arkansas in late April.

Bubba returned from the DL and started to get comfortable at the plate going 5 for 17 with 0 HR, 0 RBI, 3 R, 0 SB and 1 BB in 5 games. When he was at Wilmington he hit .386/.471/.614 with 2 HR, 12 RBI, 6 R, 2 SB and 7 BB in 12 games. For the season at NW Arkansas he is hitting .265/.351/.500 with 3 HR, 8 RBI, 16 R, 1 SB in 20 games.

Logan slumped a bit as he was 4 for 18 with 0 HR, 3 RBI, 2 R, 1 SB and 2 BB in 6 games. This season he is hitting .257/.319/.333 with 0 HR, 19 RBI, 16 R, 7 SB in 53 games.

Chasing 50-50 061315

This is the fourth year of my Chasing 50-50 segment. It started three seasons ago as we followed Matt Kemp then of the Dodgers in his self proclaimed attempt to hit 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases. The 2015 season is under way and we are going to follow Kemp's efforts to see if he can make another run. As long as he is playing Kemp will always be part of this. Regulars Mike Trout of the Angels and Carlos Gonzalez of the Rockies are still in the mix because I think they also have the speed\power combo capable of reaching the mark some day. Plus we will also start with Carlos Gomez of the Brewers, George Springer of the Astros and Joc Pederson of the Dodgers. Others will be added throughout the season as their production warrants. 50/50 is a lofty goal but this is also a way to honor the guys that do possess the power and speed tools. On May 14 adding Paul Goldschmidt of the Diamondbacks and Justin Upton of the Padres. On May 21 adding Anthony Rizzo of the Cubs and Todd Frazier of the Reds. On June 13 adding Gomez's teammate Ryan Braun. This is week nine of the chase.
