SCOUTING REPORT
|
Molleken looked great in Lynchburg in 2009, with a 9.1 K/9, a 1.7 BB/9, and an 0.4 HR/9 in 41.1 innings, mostly in a relief role. Those numbers aren’t unusual for Molleken, who has posted high strikeout ratios and low walk ratios in relief roles during the 2007 and 2008 seasons. Molleken struggled in his jump to AA in 2009, which raises a question as to whether his performance was due to being a little old for high-A. Molleken did struggle in his first attempt as a reliever in high-A during the 2008 season, so it remains possible that the same initial struggles existed in 2009 at the AA level. It’s a long shot, but if Molleken can repeat his performance from Lynchburg in 2009 at higher levels, he will have a great shot at making a major league bullpen one day. |
