who is the most likely "cold" prospect to start hitting?

[DocJJ]

In terms of position players who can hit, we (sadly) seem to have one in the entire organization- Wieters. So who is the most likely to turn their cold start around?

a. Brandon Snyder
b. Billy Rowell
c. Nolan Reimold
d. Mike Costanzo
e. Scott Moore

f. none of the above. We will have only one decent offensive prospect in the entire system...until this year's June draft.

[Flip217]

I'll vote for Reimold.

[Frobby]

Rowell's had one AB, so he can hardly be called "cold." Reimold is a streaky hitter, and he has hit well at AA before, so I'd say he has a good chance to turn things around. Snyder started cold last year and then got very hot so he's got a chance, too. Moore has hti well in AAA before so I think he can reverse course. Costanzo is the one I'm not sure of.

[RZNJ]

Most likely to get hot? Reimold. To repeat what was already said, he's streaky.

[NewMarketSean]

Reimold. He's done it before in Bowie... unless he's hurt, he's got to start hitting.

[clarence]

Costanzo and all of his strikeouts are unlikely to ever get very hot. You have to put the wood on the ball. He was a throw-in on the trade and I doubt we will ever see him in Baltimore.

I think the rest of the group will all start hitting, but I won't be surprised if only one of that bunch ever becomes a major league regular.

[DennisTheOsFan]

Rowell. Gotta believe he starts putting up terrific numbers this year to get him right back among the top 5 positional players in the organization. He's got a powerful bat, so now we have to cross our fingers and hope he'll make his way to Baltimore.

[Alphonse]

Reimold. He's done it before in Bowie... unless he's hurt, he's got to start hitting.

Exactly right. Reimold's the pick. For Reimold to match last year's production in the same number of AB's at Bowie, he'd have to hit ≈ .370/.414/.880/1.294 for the remainder of the season (season being the remaining 125 AB's to match last year's total of 186 AB versus this year's 61 AB's accumulated thus far). Will he match those totals? Who knows, but it's a good bet that he'll outperform his current line of .180/.257/.262/.519.

Look for Reimold to pick it up.

[AVencill]

Like Frobby said, Rowell can't really be considered cold. He's 0-for-1 on the season. :) But I'd probably go with Scott Moore, at least right now. Reimold won't really right his ship until the weather warms around the beginning of June. Same with Synder. I think Moore's more likely to start hitting a lot sooner. Costanzo's the one I can't put my finger on. Maybe he'll out produce them all.

[Mackus]

They all will start hitting, IMO.

Most likely I'd have to go with Reimold (killed AA last year, so its foolish to think he won't again this year, IMO) followed closely by Rowell.

I would put Tyler Henson in there among your hitting prospects along with Matt Angle.

[KarlofDelaware]

As of Sunday, Henson was hitting .368 in his last nine games. Got a homer in his first at bat Sunday, too.

Rowell Played in one game. He has been activated and will Probably start tonight. He can not be on a slow starter list. I will go with Snyder.

[Ruzious]

A second straight vote for Snyder. With Rowell back, that lineup is loaded, and Snyder will get tons of pitches to hit.

[Flosman]

The answer has to be Reimold. It is just the type of hitter he has always been. This is not even a long cold spell for him. I would suspect he is trying to impress too much right now. The organization really seems to throw a wet blanket on him this spring and he has atmitted to jumping at the ball and being to pull happy when he presses. He will relax get his stroke and end up with a 875+ ops for the season IMO.

I think Snyder will have a good year 800+ OPS. He has already had a hot period this season and I would think he will get it going again. Rowell is the wild card in my opinion. I would think his numbers will be no worse than last season and he very well could end up with the best numbers in the group. If the numbers are the same has last season then he can't really be thought of as a future star anymore (this does not mean that he won't be an everyday player, but the chances of being a special player go down IMO)

[makoman]

Rowell wins...after 1-2 today he's now hitting 333, the quickest to turn around his "cold" start ;)
