Minor League Hitters
We don’t have much in the minors, but here are some quick blurbs on guys who may have a future impact on the team
AAA
1B Jason Fick - .268 Avg in 120 Games. 7 HR, 19 SB. Our former 2nd round pick was ok in his first season in AAA. With another good season there he could see time as a backup on the big club
OF Mike Doctor – The former team star and 9 time Mays Award winner quietly spent the season in AAA where he struggled. He hit just .193 with 11 homers,
AA
C Shumei Rosanjin – The 4th overall pick last draft has already made it to AA. He hit .339 in 32 A games and got the call-up. In 106 games in AA, he hit a solid .274 with 23 doubles and 18 homers. With a hot start in AA in 2013, he’ll get moved to AAA. I hope to have him in the bigs by 2015, when he’ll be just 22.
RF James Aikin – Our other 2012 1st rounder (14th) started in AA and played well all season. He hit a stellar .299 with 26 2B and 12 HR, even adding 23 steals. At 23 he’ll have to get to the majors quickly, and I hope to have him there at least as a backup in 2014.
3B Scott Heath – The 26-year-old former 2nd round pick of Massachusetts was a throw-in in an offseason deal. He hit an organization leading 38 homers in his first full AA season and has now hit 310 career minor league homers in 9 seasons. He doesn’t really have any future potential, I just want to see how many homers he can hit in the minors.
LF Chad Huson – The 24 yr old got his first taste of AA and played so-so. He hit .264 with 12 HRs and needs to speed up his development to make it big. He’ll be in AA again in 2013.
A
2B David Hetrick - .225, 13 HR. He’ll probably get cut as soon as I need to clear space
CF Matthew Menchaca - .222, 5 HR. Another future cut
C Frederick Boucher - .232, 5 HR. Another cut. I’ve got tons of catchers
C William Prendergast - .252, 25 HR. I’ll probably throw him into AA next year to see what happens
3B Geoff Jasmin - .270, 25 HR. He’ll certainly get moved up to AA next year
LF Mike Evan - .272, 6 HR. 4th round pick last year, he’ll get another shot at A ball.
OF Shawn Codrington - .215, 2 HR. 7th time wasn’t the charm for 25 y.o. He’ll be cut
