RudyLawRules Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 OK, I'm 1/2 serious and he's a 2010 pick in Rookie ball...but he's pounding the ball right now. I'm bored and desperate...not a good combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 (edited) Isn't he a little old for that league? EDIT: Based on that video, someone was a fan of Ken Griffey Jr. Edited August 13, 2010 by Cali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 If he is still with Great Falls when they play the Billings Mustangs I'll go check him out for everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Based on that video, someone was a fan of Ken Griffey Jr. 21 isn't really "old" for any level. He's not a youngin', he's not a high school draftee, but if he's in A ball next year at 22, he'll be on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a nice swing and doesn't seem to strike out much. Then again, it is Pioneer League pitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OilCan Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Well he has more walks than strikeouts, so that's positive site. Would love to see a half decent 1b prospect in our farm system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 It's pretty much impossible to make prospect judgments based on guys in rookie leagues. All those are really there for are to see how players handle the adjustment from aluminum bats to wooden bats. Brian Anderson only played 13 games for Great Falls in 2003, but he hit .388 in his time there. For guys who have succeeded at the Division I level, it's usually a breeze.

caulfield12 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 If they brought him up to finish the season in the SAL with Kannapolis, those results would be a LITTLE more impressive. Still, for an SEC college player, you really have to see how they fare in the Carolina/Cal/Florida State Leagues before you can make ANY predictions that remotely approximate predictive validity.

EDIT: Based on that video, someone was a fan of Ken Griffey Jr. So I found a quote while I was looking up why Wilkins hasn't played in 3 games, and I found this quote from him.... "Ken Griffey Jr. was my man ... I've always tried to imitate his swing." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
