Chris Parmelee....Streakiest Player Alive

I really don't know what to think.  I seem to check his stats every week or so and looking at game logs he is seriously the most boom or bust guy in the minors right now.  He is either ice cold or hitting like a mad man. 

He went 0-9 with 7 K's on opening day (a doubleheader) and followed that up with about a 2 week stretch of hitting nearly .500 and slugging over 1.000.  Now while taking a look at first inning he is in a 2-24 slump over the last 10 games (he is getting some walks though). 

What does he project as? A lot of people compared him to Morneau after his first look at pro ball in 06.  Now he looks more like a "3 True Outcomes" guy.  His walk rate is inching up, and his K rate is inching down.  He has the low BABIP that a lot of those guys have.  What does the community think?

I'll get back to you in July.

I’ve heard the Adam Dunn comps the most, because he’s a power guy with a high SO rate. I’d like to see if he is streaking or the league is adjusting to him, before I get a solid option.

"I couldn't do that. Could you do that? Why can they do it? Who are those guys?"

strikeouts

his K rate is still pretty poor. I think the assessment of 3 true outcomes is pretty fair. I don’t see Adam Dunn because Dunn was still a .300 hitter in the minors and always had more hits than k’s. John says he has trouble with pitchers that change speeds and to me that means he is getting fooled a lot. So its not a matter that he just takes a lot of pitches because he doesn’t think they are strikes but that he is taking pitches because he gets fooled. This could be totally wrong but thats what I am gathering from John’s work and from his stats.
