August 13, 201015 yr 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.
August 13, 201015 yr Author QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 03:01 PM) Hey, get your own AAP! LOL! I actually thought of that after I posted the thread. You must be a proud papa!
August 13, 201015 yr 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, 201015 yr by Cali
August 13, 201015 yr If he is still with Great Falls when they play the Billings Mustangs I'll go check him out for everyone

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.

August 14, 201015 yr 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.
August 14, 201015 yr 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.

August 14, 201015 yr 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."
