crazy climb though for hudson. he was in LOW A to start the year.
He has had a .375 OBP the entire year with 29 SB.
He could def be of use in the future but I am not sold on a position for him. He is below average as a hitter in the OF (besides CF i guess).
Maybe if he reverts back to playing 2B but we have Roberts and Adams already there for next year.
I wonder how good Hudson's arm is. I'm looking at his stats, and it looks like he has 10 OF assists this year. Not bad, but doesn't give me an idea of his strength.
Having a Juan Pierre type player isn't bad at all... he has a hell of an OBP, can steal the fuck out of bases and will take the walk.
Aren't the Orioles in the bottom five in walks?
I'll admit, I like having all powerful and offensive guys, but honestly, we need a Juan Pierre/Ben Revere/Erick Aybar/Otis Nixon (LOL) type if we want to score more runs.
It's proven to work and fuck up defenses.
I assume he's fast like a Kenyan?
