Physical ability aside, there are just some guys that "get it" and some that don't. Don't get me wrong, I hope they both pan out, but when AA fielding coaches needed to spray paint an "X" in CF to show Avery where to stand, I'm not holding my breath.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-91775610365118776582012-02-05T11:49:51.956-05:002012-02-05T11:49:51.956-05:00Nick Faleris, who is an associate scout for an NL ...Nick Faleris, who is an associate scout for an NL team and does a great deal of ground work, wrote the following on Mahoney:<br /><br />Joe Mahoney is a bat-first corner defender likely to end-up at first base or designated hitter, full time. He has some length to his swing, a not-insignificant leak entering his weight transfer and a moderate to heavy backside collapse, depending on the at bat. Prognosis? It's unlikely contact will be Mahoney's strong suit, and he could be quickly exposed at the Major League level, if not Triple-A. He projects as a bench bat or Four-A player.<br /><br />http://camdendepot.blogspot.com/2011/11/milb-year-in-review-bowie-baysox-and.htmlJon Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03521809778977098687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-75425679351213337442012-02-05T11:28:27.273-05:002012-02-05T11:28:27.273-05:00How is Joe Mahoney not considered a top prospect a...How is Joe Mahoney not considered a top prospect anywhere on this website? A 6'6" lefty first baseman that hits with raw power and has well above-average fielding skills, Mahoney should be tops on the prospect list. Try actually going to a minor league game to see these players instead of reading about them or judging them based on stats.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
