Posted by Ed | July 9, 2010 at 2:06 pm | ShortcutBugs me a bit that Moustakas isn’t higher. There is NO BETTER HITTER in AA (or all of the Minors) than he is. Brown is a great hitter (.326, 59 runs, 19 HR, 59 RBI, 14 SB, .391 OBP, .999 OPS), but Moose is BETTER (.355, 57 runs, 21 HR, 76 RBI, .417 OBP, 1.122 OPS). AAA vs AA, but still…
Pretty sure the Red Sox AA affiliate has been in Portland, ME for about seven years now.
Posted by Bob | July 9, 2010 at 2:45 pm | ShortcutIs Trout really THAT good? #2 seems pretty high for a guy in low-A? What separates him from Ben Revere in 2008? Im sure theres something to be seen in person. Maybe the walks. The extra base hits are similar, trout does have advantage. Just would like to hear more about him. Does he project to have a lot of power?
Posted by tristan | July 9, 2010 at 7:16 pm | ShortcutEven though he's a reliever, I would think Craig Kimbrel should be in the top 50. He looks to be a safe bet to be a high impact late inning reliever. What do you think?
