Joe Panik

He finished the season batting .305. I think he has enough at bats to challenge for Rookie of the Year.

He only played in 73 games with only 1 homer, 10 doubles, and no steals. Very solid B.A. and a good OBP around .345, but not near enough games.

Panik solved the Giants' second base problem after Scutero went down and other options were tried...They're in the playoffs. deGrom was a nine game winner who had no impact on a pennant race.

There are two sides to that, though. If deGrom was on a playoff team, he would have 15 wins. The kid was nearly an automatic quality start.

I will cheer for Panik like crazy, because I love St. John's and wish all of its alumni well. However, even if he hit .335, 73 game is just not enough to win that award minus absurd production like 25 homers 125 hits or 75 rbi....something that can stand against stats of guys that played a whole season. deGrom's ERA since Panik started was 1.77 with an 8-2 record. His ERA in that span was third best in the majors behind only Kershaw and Corey Kluber.
 
To hell with rookie of the year. This kid has got a shot at some kind of MVP. 2 for 5 with a triple was robbed of another extra base hit and advanced a runner with a ground out as well as several good plays in the field.

In two games 5 hits in 10 at bats. His 3 hit in his first post season game put him in select company Frankie Frish and Mel Ott amoungst a few others.

:cheer: Congratulations to Joe Panik who helped San Francisco advance in the NL Playoffs. Last night he went 2 for 4, had an RBI and scored the winning run in a 3 to 2 victory. Even though Joe didn't play a full season he finished with a .305 batting average. Way to go Joe.
 
I'm so pissed that I had to cancel a business trip to kansas city next monday and tuesday because of vacation plans.

2 friends of mine are doing the meetings instead and now they luck out and will go to game 1 of the world series also.

Would be awesome to see Panik there.

Hopefully Newsman's Giants finish off St Louis
 
On his way to being SJU best ever position player!

On his way for sure...Rich Aurelia had a 16 year MLB career. That's tough to beat.

They mentioned on last nights broadcast he is completely right handed other then batting. His father was a Yankee fan and Joe followed Wade Boggs to the left side. He said a few year later and he would have copied Jeter and be hitting from the right side,

You can see the Boggs influence level swing and up the middle hitting. If Panic last 16 year which I think he will I wii be 94 so you'll have to watch for me.
 
Coach Blankmeyer and St. John's just mentioned by Ken Rosenthal.

Coach Blankmeyer who recruited Craig Biggio at Seton Hall, said Panik reminds him of Biggio.
 
Both Mullin and Panik drafted by San Francisco Clubs and I believe 7 th overall pick on the draft. Maybe Panik headed to Hall of Fame someday.

He's played 73 games in his career and you are already talking potential Hall of Fame? And in those 73 games he has been OK, not terrible but not that great either.....and in the post season he has been below average.

I'm not saying that he can't develop into a really good player, and I hope he does......but right now is average as best.
