Name that Prospect

[TooLiveBrew]

Use this thread to post the stats of unnamed prospects (both past & present), & see how long it takes for someone to correctly guess --

 

[pre]Age Level AVG OBP SLG OPS

17 RK,A- .259 .338 .347 .685

18 A- .268 .328 .382 .709

19 A+ .274 .333 .421 .754

20 AA .365 .429 .609 1.038[/pre]

[CheezWizHed]

Without looking: Ke Davis

 

edit: Blast! Close, but no cigar. I haven't been able to watch that closely this year, but I've noticed Kentrail's resurgence this year...

[LouisEly]

Not someone in the Brewers system, that's for sure. I'll guess the guy drafted immediately after Eric Arnett...

 

... nope, but his numbers are pretty close to these. Now I'm depressed.

[The stache]

Mike Trout?

[The stache]

Nope. Hmm. Can I phone a friend?

[The stache]

Speaking of Trout, here are his splits. Yikes.

 

[pre]R/A .352 .419 .486 .905

A/A+ .341 .428 .490 .918

AA .326 .414 .544 .958

AAA .403 .467 .623 1.091[/pre]

 

Only 20 games at AAA, but he showed in the minors just how good he was going to be. I imagine that we would have taken a serious look at him had the Angels not taken him. We were next up.

 

Darn.

Hearing the rumors of how high Milwaukee was on Trout, then seeing this and realizing he's Mickey Mantle reincarnate make me very, very sad.

 

For a guess at the thread title, Xander Booagaerts?

 

EDIT: Google has given me the answer, but I feel guilty about giving it.

 

I feel like future 'name that prospects' should be from current prospects and not modern superstars/former players.

[TooLiveBrew]

No one has gotten it so far... good guesses, though!

Good point here -- I guess I framed the OP as though the stats I was providing were for a current prospect. To clarify, the guy I've given is a former prospect & current MLB player.

 

Either a current prospect or former prospect is fine to list here... just clarify which type you're listing! (unlike what I did...)

Knowing that this was the pick the Brewers could have had for Sabathia had the Yankees not signed Teixeira (or had Sabathia been ranked ahead of Teixeira, which he should have been), makes me sick.

It's Miguel Cabrerra

Welcome to the board, joeC! For your first post being the one that correctly guessed this, you win... nothing. Welcome to the gilded halls of BF.net.

 

Next up!

Current minor leaguer (does not include 2013 stats):

Jacob Odorizzi

[TooLiveBrew]

Jacob Odorizzi

Wow, that was fast! I thought that one might be a bit tricky... guess not.

 

Ok, JoseCardenal1, your turn (if you wish)

[Jose Cardenal1]

OK I'll give it a try.

 

Age Level

20 Rk/A+/AA .279 / .358 / .435 .793

21 A+/AA .326 / .418 / .516 .934

22/23 AAA .272 / .336 / .475 .811

 

A Brewer "legend". By the way this player had more AB's in AA his age 20 season than his other two stops. Funny how his Age 21 season was a tease of a truly great player, just like much of his time in the bigs.

[LouisEly]

Without looking, I'll say Glenn Braggs...

 

... nope. Ages in each season were right, but not him. Amazingly the Brewers kept Braggs in rookie league all season despite a 1.189 OPS.

[Jose Cardenal1]

Good guess on Glen Braggs. I wish I had thought to do him.

 

My guy had a much better ML career. Good not great. But he teased great at times.

[TooLiveBrew]

OK I'll give it a try.

 

Age Level

20 Rk/A+/AA .279 / .358 / .435 .793

Greg Vaughn?

[Jose Cardenal1]

Greg Vaughn is a really good guess but not quite right.

[Jose Cardenal1]

One more hint and then I am offline until the morning

 

The above player accumulated 41% of his career WAR in his first two full seasons in bigs. After that he never could quite replicate those numbers for a full year with the exception of one good year in the middle of his career.

[Scooter102783]

I'm going to guess Geoff Jenkins.

[Jose Cardenal1]

Ding Ding Ding

 

Yes it was Jenkins.

[nate82]

OK I have one, this is a past player and he did play for the Brewers.

Jeff Cirillo?
