Sickels “Sleeper Alert” - Kyle Allen, RHP, New York Mets: 5.24 ERA with 53/54 K/BB in 101 innings in High-A. A bad season, with a striking collapse in K/BB ratio, but he wasn't fully healthy. Young enough to rebound. - minorleagueball.
Jon Matlack:
Another victim of the anemic offense of the seventies Mets. Career ERA with the team of 3.03, yet was only 82-81 during that time. Was Rookie of the Year in 1972, and probably had his best season in 1974 when he posted a 2.41 ERA, but was only 13-15. Koosman and Matlack give the Sabermetrician claim that “wins don’t matter” some merit when you look at their peripherals. - nybaseballdigest.
Todd Hundley:
Where did the power come from? After coming up in 1990, the promising kid behind the dish had never hit more than 20 bombs in a single season...until 1996. Hundley shocked the world by launching an incredible 41 taters, and followed it up the next season with another 30 more. Following those two seasons, Hundley never hit more than 24 home runs in a single season again. - bleacherreport.
Pedro:
While he tries to figure out if he really wants to pitch or retire, Pedro Martinez is moving ahead with plans that will keep him plenty busy long after he does hang up his spikes. On Monday at the Ambassador Hotel in Santo Domingo, Martinez will be joined by ex-Red Sox [team stats] teammate David Ortiz [stats] and team representatives for the launch of the Pedro Martinez Youth Academy and Baseball Park. - bostonherald.
Willie Harris:
Harris hit .180 against right-handed pitchers last season, the worst batting average by a left-handed hitter against right-handed pitching since Ryan Langerhans hit .161 in 2007. Harris underperformed against every type of pitch from right-handers and had significant trouble with breaking balls. Because Harris’ overall percentage of overall missed swings greatly increased (from 16 percent in 2009 to 23 percent in 2010), he found himself in a lot of two-strike counts against right-handers - espn.
