There is no other propsects other than the ones shown here for bowling green?
ReplyDeleteThe Prospect Watch is simply the top 15 hitters and pitchers as selected by the panel prior to the start of the season. It is not meant to indicate that there are not any other prospects on a club.
ReplyDeleteOn a personal note, one of the stars on the club in my opinion is Chris Murrill who did not make the top 15 but is making an impact on the team this season.
Oh ok I understand now. did Chris do good last year to?
ReplyDeleteMurrill was picked in the 35th round last June. After he signed he played for the Hudson Valley Renegades. He hit .306/.360/.363 in 193 AB's, with 7 2bs, 2 3bs, 0 Hrs. Stole 29 bases, caught 7 times.
ReplyDeleteBiggest improvement to me is with more BB's and less SO's.
In 2009, in 215 plate appearances, he walked 13 times and struck out 46 times.
In 2010, in 147 plate appearances, he's walked 13 times and struck out 25 times.
So same walks in less PA's, lower SO rate, but still no power, although his SLG is up from .363 to .397.
How about Mark Thomas~catcher~great arm~hitting really well~is he considered a prospect?
