Josh Reddick ETA?

[Looch Ness Monster]

Josh Reddick isn't "tearing up" AA average-wise by any means..but the Eastern League is a pretty tough league for any hitter.

 

Reddick actually has the 7th highest OPS in the league at .869 and the 6th highest HR total of 13 which is impressive considering he's only played in 57 games.

 

I looked at his spray charts and he hits the ball consistently to all parts of the field. The only concern is that he's a guy that he strikes out twice as much as he walks. Besides that he has plus power, plus speed, a plus arm and I think an average glove.

 

Seems like a guy that could replace J.D. Drew after his contract expires. I don't think he'll play in the big leagues next year but he COULD.

 

What's your estimated time of arrival for Reddick?

Dito. Hopefully another year will afford him the opportunity to better his plate discipline.

At the earliest 2010. Maybe a September call up or something. But by 2011 we should see him at least get a shot. Granted he keeps up/improves upon his current level of play.

 

Who knows really? This guy could explode and force his way onto the team. Or he could become a K machine and not even get a shot with the Red Sox.

Long term injury replacement for Drew next year, if he does well, Drew moves on and Reddick stays.

 

If Drew stays healthy all year, then we see Reddick next September on a trial basis.

3 games, 3 XBH.

It's pretty awesome to see him hitting this well. I was more expecting a few 0for games with 2 or 3 strikeouts. This could be huge for giving Drew/Bay each a little time off. We can send him back to AAA I think when we move him back to the Minors. I think he's ready to move past AA, but I don't think he's ready to be the 2007 Jacoby Ellsbury. Even Ellsbury played the majority of his 2007 in AAA.

I love it when these kids explode out of the gate.

I really, really like this kid. I think he is going to be really good.

I agree.

Ha, there is a lot of "really" in that sentence. Sorry!
