July 26, 200719 yr 4. Chris Coghlan, Marlins Age: 22.1 Hitting: .325/.419/.534 at Low-A (81 G); .167/.280/.262 at High-A (12 G) Coghlan was selected in the pick just prior to Cardenas, and also did not become a second baseman this year, as he played third in college. On both an athletic and a baseball level, Coghlan fits better at second, as he?s no a power hitter, but is instead more of a line-drive type with plus speed and enough strength to occasionally sting a ball over the fence. Defensively, he?s still struggling at the new position, particularly on balls hit up the middle and on turning the double play, but the organization believes he?ll become an average defender by the time he?s ready for the majors. good stuff, would be nice if he could hit in Jupiter though (just a few games, I realize...)

Link?? I want to see the other prospects
July 27, 200719 yr I understand with the whole legal thing, but im just interested...whos now number one?
July 27, 200719 yr Author I understand with the whole leagal thing, but im just interested...whos number one? Matt Antonelli, Padres
July 27, 200719 yr Author Never heard of him, he anywhere near the majors? 17th overall pick out of Wake Forest last year flew thru High A this year: .308/.409/.499 (347ab) lighting up AA: .409/.519/.659 (44ab) probably see him sometime in 2008
July 27, 200719 yr Seems to me that the padres should just take a chance with this guy and show him the BIGS
July 27, 200719 yr Author Seems to me that the padres should just take a chance with this guy and show him the BIGS He's barely out of A ball you don't do that to positional players (and rarely will it ever work with pitchers) that and they like Kouz out there in SD
July 27, 200719 yr Hes a 2nd Baseman, Kouz is a 3rd basemen. Giles as been stinking up the place. Give this guy another week or two in AA and see if he is still hitting the ball at his current pace. If he is, send him to AAA or MAJORS. There is no point having your best option in the minors!
July 27, 200719 yr He has 44 AB's in double A, don't go crazy over the guy, let him develop in the minors first and see what happens. Plus they're contending for the playoffs, Giles is more valuable as a vet with experience.
July 27, 200719 yr .236 average, .306 OBP, .333 slugging. Rumor has it that that is not very valuable to a contending team. whenever Geoff Blum is stealing starts from you, you know your in trouble

There is no point having your best option in the minors! first of all, my bad with Kouz.... Antonelli was drafted as a 3b and just recently moved to 2b secondly, you don't rush a positional prospect with just 50 AA at bats even Cabrera got 250 at bats in Carolina
