winninguglyin83 Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Maybe Baseball America went with Joe Mauer, but USA Today Baseball Weekly gave its Minor League Player of the Year award to Jeremy Reed, who could be our center fielder next season. Reed beat out San Diego second baseman Josh Barfield, not Mauer, for the award, by hitting a combined .373 with an insane .453 on-base percentage at Winston-Salem and Birmingham. Kudos to Jeremy.

Iguana Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I just hope we arent setting this guy up for failure. everyone expects him to be awesome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted November 27, 2003 Author Share Posted November 27, 2003 I don't expect him to be awesome in 2004 that's unrealistic. but I think he can be helpful in 2004 and be a very solid player in 2005 and beyond. not a big power guy, but a very solid professional hitter. that's MY hope.

Jim Fainter Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Gotta give this kid a chance to start. But the Sox will probably trade for some outfielder who hits .240, gets paid a lot, and Jeremy will play at Charlotte and hit .380. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Hitting Leadoff and playing CF for your 2004 Chicago White Sox... Jeremy Reeeeeed! That would be ok with me , Rowand out there is a no go with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Reed may not be ready yet. I'd guess that he would have to have a very good spring training not to end up in AAA. Rowand will do just fine in CF in 2004, as long as he stays off dirtbikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I think Reed will be solid. At his best I see him like a healthy Darrin Erstad, which is a pretty damn good all around player. At the worse, I see him as a good defensive, good running, good obp, solid slap hitter. I think he's gonna have a solid to great career.
