QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 4, 2010 -> 04:07 PM)  So what happened? He hit 2 homers on July 26, and that was his last game. What's the injury? He broke his arm in an off the field altercation. |

Filling in for the missing poster...
Leighton was a nnice surprise for a 40th round pick in 2009, putting up high averages and a little power in Bristol in 2009, and Great Falls in 2010. But that all go sidetracked in late 2010, when he broke his arm in an altercation off the field, missing some time that year. 2011 he spent mostly repeating Great Falls, putting up numbers that were actually a little worse than in 2010. He was in Kanny for 19 games as well, and seemed overmatched. Here in 2012, having just turned 21, Pangilinan is in Kanny. He started off on fire, but has fallen off since, and currently has a .252/.328/.400/.728 line. For a firstbaseman, he needs to do better than that, and he's striking out a fair amount too (35 K in 124 PA). He's still young, but a 40th round pick with a history of off-field issues really needs to make more happen with the bat to be taken seriously as a prospect. |

After a disappointing 2012, Leighton has been released by the Sox.
