DBAHO Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Bristol Sox Pos: RF DoB: 01/14/84 Ht: 6'2" Wt: 220 Bats: R Throws: R I got interested in Gartrell because in my daily BA newsletter, he's been mentioned a few times. He was drafted in the 31st round in this year's draft from San Francisco, and Baseball America had this to say about him; Stephen Gartrell has more tools and athletic ability than the average senior sign and is an above-average runner and thrower. He has power but a long swing that will need adjustments. I think minorleaguebaseball.com have him mistaken for a Maurice Gartrell (or I don't know if his name is that or Stephen); http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/app/mil...&pid=501804 Last night he went 2 for 5 with 2 2B's. Currently he has splits of .275/.351/.392. Traded to Atlanta for cash considerations on April 16, 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 His name is legally Maurice but goes by Stefan (middle name). BA had him listed as one of their top 50 college seniors so he's been on their radar for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 Gartrell's up at B-Ham now as many of you would already know. He finished up with splits of .308/.438/.449 down at Bristol. 5 games with the Barons hitting .200/.333/.267. Looks to be a guy who won't hit for much power so far, but has good plate discipline. Had a 48/43 K/BB ratio in 214 AB's down at Bristol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Mark Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 We never talk about Gartrell, I feel like he's been under the Soxtalk radar quite a bit. Does anyone here think he's going to be a MLBer someday? He seems to be fairly decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Gartrell is still hanging on in the org. Probably his last year with the team unless he has a breakout year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
