Alford.....

 

This Alford guy is pretty fast... beats out routine ground ball... steals second easily.... crazy speed...

 

and then... easy power...

 

I am no scout, and have never taken courses on scouting.

 

However here are my grades

 

Speed - FAST (70)

Power - Easy Power in an athletic frame (50)

Average - Don't really know.. but his swing looks OK I'll give him 40

Arm - Not sure

Defense - Not sure, but with that speed 60??

 

I stat-scouted his minor league numbers... a bit inconsistent but... gets on base... which I like... and he played football part time early on, so maybe he'll be a late bloomer...

 

What do those who are passionate about the minors, and do like the top 20 or top 30 or even top 50 Jays prospect lists think??

There is a 95 wRC+ bat in there somewhere!

 

Kevin Pillar has put up 12 wins with a career 87 wRC+. If Alford put up a 95 wRC+ he'd be a really nice player. We just have a log jam of guys in the outfield who are good enough to play in the MLB even if they are fringe regulars 4th outfielders. I feel like a couple of our guys will be playing for KC or Baltimore next year.

If the jays didn't have Alford, Atkins would be trading Giles for him.
