I was not impressed that we got a couple of 26 year old minor league players, but Tyler Holt (claimed off waivers) and Adam Duval (acquired in Leake trade) look like they could step right into bench roles at the major league level.
Holt is a speedy outfielder who has only hit .219 in 102 major league at-bats over the last two seasons. But he has also accumulated 595 at bats at triple A level, and looked pretty impressive. He hit .304 with 89 walks for a very impressive .398 on base percentage. He also stole 45 bases while only getting caught 9 times.
Duval is a Firstbaseman/ourfielder who has 137 career major league at bats with the Giants and Reds. He has only hit .204, but he has a lot of pop. He has hit a HR every 17.1 at bats (8 in 137) which is better than what Frazier averaged last season (one every 17.6). Duvall's power is no fluke. Over the last two seasons he has hit 57 HR in only 856 at bats at the triple A level (one every 15.0). He has also hit for decent average (.278), and stroked 50 doubles and 5 triples compiling a very impressive .548 slugging percentage.
Neither of these guys will be a star in the majors, but we really needed some decent position players because we had none at Louisville.
