Did he catch on anywhere else? Shame to see a kid who hit .307 in 2010 and .344 in 2011 got released. He was a 34th rd draft pick, but still those numbers aren't too bad. He lead the Pioneer league in hitting last year. Yea I got that, but is he playing anywhere this year?

He doesn't have power and he doesn't have projection. The Angels have Pujols, Morales, and Trumbo, they aren't going to keep around a 24 year old first basemen with no power and projection when they can give playing time younger guys with more projection. He is a good ball player no doubt, just not someone who an organization wants to spend resources knowing there is very low chance he even come close to making an impact. He signed with an Indy team, the Gateway Grizzlies of the Frontier League http://www.gatewaygrizzlies.com/pressbox/current/?article_id=439  Back to Top brucecuth General User Member Since: 12/21/2004 Post Count: 1,794 Status: Offline     RE: First Topic!

There are really only 10-12 true mlb prospects per team farm system. Yes there are unexpected prospects who overachieve and succeed. But for the most part if you arent one of the 10-12 then you only exist to play against the 10-12 and make them better. If one of the 10-12 is the same position as you and needs ABs then they let you go.
