From Baseball Prospectus Blake Mitchell, C, Kansas City Royals (Low-A Columbia): 3-4, HR, 2 R, 2 RBI. A lefty-swinging prep catcher who was taken eighth overall in the most recent draft, Mitchell snuck onto the Top 101 thanks to his extremely high upside. Prep catchers do tend to be an extremely high-variance demographic, of course, due both to their high level of positional risk and the fact that they’re literal teenagers. Mitchell is a very good athlete whose catching has graded out well enough in a small sample, but his .220/.383/.380 line entering Wednesday indicates that he is still adjusting to pro pitching. |

It seems like some good things are happening in the minors...this regime seems to be a lot more competent all around.

The minors is still pretty shit, but you can't blame the new regime for that. They've only had one draft. I'll give them a couple years to see how they build it.

The A's are visiting Kansas City for the last time with the Oakland lettering across their chests.
It makes me think back to when the Athletics were ours:

I feel like the article doesn't actually solve the problem. Bringing up Waters doesn't solve anything. His slash line is inflated highly but his .400ish babip. His expected results suck even for the minors.
If you want to improve the outfield production, you are going to either have to solve the riddles confronting your existing players or go get one externally. |
