Dalton Pompey

[spats]

I think the Jays may have found their CF of the future in Dalton Pompey. I have watched this kid down here in Dunedin in many games and he has very few bad at bats. He is hitting at a .358 clip and already has 14 SB. He also plays a great CF as evidenced by his circus catch last night in Tampa. He runs everything down.Hopefully he develops some power.

Still has a long way to go, but he has for sure looked promising so far.

Pompey is one of the reasons why losing Kenny Wilson is a non-issue for this team. Centerfield is probably the best position of minor league depth for the Jays.

It`s also the reason, you don`t really need to extend Colby.

Wow! After reading that article I am even more impressed with him!

[Frenchsoup]

He is what i wish Brett Lawrie was mentally, not a douchebag and a good head on his shoulders.

[gruber92]

I was going to ask about his defense,but i can see from the posts here he can play a good CF.

 

Got to keep tabs on this Mississauga kid.

He's sealing Rasmus's fate, i love it.

He should get promoted to AA at some point this year. If he does well there, AA let's Rasmus walk for sure. I still think they let him walk regardless and throw money at Melky.

I'm all in

[Angrioter]

Pompey strike again!!

[SpeedyGose]

So wonderful to see toolsy guys can actually peform well at the plate...was starting to think it was a myth

[Caper]

Where is that prospect list we all voted on during the winter? I wonder if he was even on the list.

[ElNik2013]

If Pompey is in fact legit, gotta give the org. credit in terms of development.

[John_Havok]

He and Smith Jr are forming a nice tandem in the Dunedin OF.

 

Smith Jr has just 1 less walk than K this year so far with a nice all around game. He's only 5'11 so his power might not have the kind of ceiling you'd want in a corner OF, but so far hasn't been a liability against LHP as a LHB, that's a plus.

[KingKat]

Move to 2B should be soon

 

I wonder what's the hold up? Why wouldn't they have moved him already? With the hot start maybe he stays in the OF after all.

[Caper]

I always wondered this. Why couldn't a player like Pompey play 2nd base? Obviously his real value comes from center... By why not try making some of these guys versatile or the added advantage of being versatile.

[Angrioter]

'cause he doesn't have the ability to play at 2B?

 

Maybe....

They could have tried it in non-game action and determined it just wasn't going to work. Its too bad really because his bat would play so much better at second.
