Everyone was offering outfielders. I think I ended up discussing four different hitters for Scherzer, all OF.

Minor league average BABIPs are not wildly different from the majors (think .320 in A ball vs .300 in MLB), but it's what top prospects can do in those leagues. Top guys who can whack a ball and/or run routinely BABIP near .400.

The average BABIP of legit hitting prospects in the MWL is probably like, .350-.370 or something like that.
