    Ashley doesn't look pretty but gets the job done. While he takes some ugly hacks at the plate, he makes hard contact. His arm action isn't ideal, but he has arm strength and throws out basestealers. He tightened up his 6-foot-1, 200-pound frame this year, and he has good speed and athleticism for a backstop. A fringe prospect coming into 2006, he'll now go sometime on the first day of the draft as a catcher with all-around skills.
