The April prospects of the month are up. We kind of cheated and did two pitchers, because there were two guys who were just dominant, and we couldn't say no to either one.

 

Thoughts? Who are you excited about so far?

 

I'm getting more and more excited about Carlos Sanchez. He may not have the raw tools to make him a super star, but he seems like a really solid player.

He's still playing at a higher level than his age would dictate, which he's done pretty much his whole minor league career.

 

When you consider his .297 Avg., last year at Charlotte, what he did in Spring Training, where he hit almost .500, and now leading the Knights in average, how can you not be impressed?

I love that he's a switch hitter, and seems to handle righties and lefties equally.

 

He could be a significant contributor, in the #2 hole, where he seems best suited. That would free Melky up to bat lower in the order, where he could be a run producer.

 

His glove at second is top notch, and he can turn the double play.

 

The problem is that Micah has the big upside, and seems only suited to second base. It's a nice problem to have, but a shame that he isn't getting a chance, at the Big League level, especially given the underwhelming state of the Sox offense, so far.

 

 

nice write up, actually it was excellent and with the stats to prove or make the point, i am stoke of some other prospects that are not the favorites coming into the season.
