2004 Report

2005 Update:
Slugger who is in wrong league. Body has got dumpier since last yr. Arm problems keeping him
in A ball. Lower 1/2 has got very large. Huge thighs and rear. Large boiler, not afraid to show it
off. Body will only get worse and worse with time. Lots of batspd and strength. Special sound
as ball comes off bat. Makes very gd contact. Wind up toy swing. Loads hds down and
back-similar to Ryan Zimmerman. Bars. Gets long which creates some holes that better pitchers
will be able to find, may need to shorten up as he advances. . Doesn't get cheated. Picks his
spots when to chase pitches. Excel. command/feel for strike zone. Can drive the ball the other
way. +BS creates 65 raw power. Stands a gd chance of playing near his raw in games with sound
approach. Slow runner who dogs it. Needs a helmet in OF. Poor arm after arm problems,
awkward unathletic A/A. Pushes ball lazily. Poor angles and routes. Lack of speed can turn one
bad move into a disaster. Won't be able to play OF @ ML level and shows zero interest in
improving.. Needs to be in American League if he wants to be more than a pinch hitter. Gd
hitter, no position-hard to see avg big leaguer coming out of it-bat not impact enuf. Should split
next yr between AA and AAA.
