171 H + 52 xbh (34 dbl, 1 tpl, 17 HR) + 37 BB as an 18-yr-old catcher in A ball.
.317/.370/.539 in AA at 19 (14 BB: 21 K). Way better than what Triunfel is doing in AA at 20 (but he missed a year).
And now they say: "He is considered one of the elite hitting prospects in the minors, though he was hitting just .253 with six homers and 34 RBIs this season at Triple-A." (um . . . at age 20!)
Guess we'd be buying low.
David Adams, rumored to be the 2nd piece, is a 3rd-round pick in 08 out of Virginia, one of those guys who hits doubles and gets on base and a guy "the Mariners like a great deal." 23-yr-old in AA and on the DL with an ankle sprain.
I assume from the reports that Z "lowered his asking price" the 3rd piece will be a "throw-in."
