Josh Thole | Catcher

Season Predictions
AVG%: .295
OBP%: .369
SLG%: .393
HR: 4
RBI: 50
SB: 2

2010 Numbers: .286 | .357 | .366 | 3 HR | 17 RBI | 1 SB (73 G)

162 Game Averages: .286 | .357 | .373 | 5 HR | 47 RBI | 4 SB

Josh Thole is currently on on a tear in spring training and showing much improved power numbers.  Thole began to show added power at the end of last year clobbering 3 during his limited time in the bigs, which is actually a lot for him, and now has 3 in 17 games this spring.  Right now it is hard for me to believe Thole will sustain this streak based off his previous track record, but power is the last tool to come.  Any power he brings this year will be a plus because his on-base skills and average should be enough to make him valuable enough as a catcher.

    i see him having more homers than that i see 15 in his future

    Based on his track record and swing I think 15 homers would be a stretch. If he did though that combined with his average and OBP he would be one of the better offensive catchers in the league.
