still a monster prospect. he absolutely raked in the minors.

edit: eh, monster prospect is probably overstating it. doesn't walk enough for a guy with his power and he almost assuredly won't hit for the same high average in the majors. comp to trumbo or freddie free maybe?

Trumbo's a good comp. Maybe Juan Francisco. Seems like there's a lot of these types out there now.

That's our pull shift, pretty effective.

Probably Ortiz or Gonzalez at the plate.

ok maybe take out (widely). it was pre-bonds

it was done during a world series.. and the player refused to try to go the other way with the ball. ended up having a sh1t series.
