Mark Kotsay to Boston for A-ball player

[Brily0204]

Not a big deal, but Kotsay is a decent fourth outfielder despite being injured a fair amount this year:

Braves get 20-year-old Luis Sumoza, "who turned 20 on July 15, [and] has hit .301 with team-highs of 11 homers and 38 RBIs in 51 games for Class A Lowell (Mass.) while batting cleanup."

Is it wrong to compare this Sumoza fella to a Taylor Green-esque prospect?

[Brily0204]

Just off the top of my head, I'd say more like an Erik Komatsu-esque prospect. Lowell is in the short-season NY-Penn league, about a step-and-a-half behind Green in the Florida State League. The Braves are sending Sumoza to Rome in the SAL to finish the season.
