    For all you fantasy baseball players, pick this kid up asap. He should be called up within the next week by the Jays.

    Right now these are the kids AAA stats at just 21 years old

    .353 batting average

    15 Home runs

    49 RBI's

    11 stolen base's

    1.090 OPS

    He leads all of pro ball in extra base hits and total base's.

    The line-up will look a lot better with Lawrie and Lind coming back.

    Escobar
    Patterson
    Bautista
    Lind
    Arencebia
    Hill
    Rivera
    Lawrie
    Davis

    A good amount of power and speed.

    That would only add to the Jays offense as they get nearly zero production from Nix and Encarnacion

    He will almost certainly be called up when the super 2 rule pass's which is june 6th. His defence has been alot better of late and most of those errors where from the first few weeks of the season.

    marcus thames and david cooper had simiar numbers in AAA, but when called up they werent ready. Las vegas is a huge hitters park, so the numbers are inflated

    And those numbers may be a bit misleading. The Pacific Coast League can do that to you.

    Travis Snider hasn't lived up to the hype yet either.

    A good amount of power and speed.

    Rivera behind Lind. Juan has been on fire the last 11 games hitting over .400

    Marcus Thames?

    No, none of them have the average+power and OPS that Lawrie does. Las Vegas is a great park for homers but that doesnt explain his league leading hit totals or total base totals. The has also been taking walks like a machine lately.

    Wanna put a nice little wager on him getting called up in the next week or so?

    agreed. Snider needs to show more consistancy. That being said I think this kid is the real deal. Hes shown flashes of what he can do, as he was the hottest hitter on the team last year before his injury.

    He'll get called up soon, they were just making up excuses to hold him back but they are just tying to save service time.

    Reports are his defense is adequate enough now, most of his errors came in the first ten games of the season or so.  He's committed a lot less errors lately.  (not that "errors" are a good way to judge defense anyways)

He said that Lawrie right now is really playing well and forcing there hand. I will be utterly shocked if he isnt up within the next ten 10. They continue to talk about him and put up stat lines on the broadcasts. Trust me, this kid is getting called up VERY soon.

    Snider cant even hit for power anymore.

    Dude has 2 home runs combined this season in AAA and MLB.

    jays won't call him up now because they don't want him in the super cateorgy FA. If they wait after a few more weeks (the date is sketchy), they can avoid arbitration for another year on the kid.

    i know he's dying to come up but AA isn't rushing anything

    That's the reason they are holding him back, just thought the first week of June was when they could bring him up.

    Before even looking up Lawrie, it came to my mind this has to be in the PCL.

    PCL is a joke for looking at offensive numbers. There are games that are 14-12 final scores on a regular basis. Its an all offensive league and the numbers aren't as meaningful if they were put up in other leagues in the minors.

    That is not to take away from Lawrie but its important to understand PCL inflates offensive numbers.

    Buck told Ryan Adams the same thing. Told him he didnt care if he was hitting .500 in the minors if he couldn't fix his defense.

    Granted he got called up but that was because of injuries that forced the O's hand.

    sorry eric thames. my bad.

    Actually LV is a park for average. it a very very fast field. Cooper is hitting .393 and thames .342
    There are 11 guys on the team hitting above .290

    Lawrie: OPS 1.090
    Cooper: OPS 1.040
    Thames 1.019
    very comparable

    No im not placing a wager with some random guy on the internet over something as random as this. Half the ppl on here wouldnt ever pay up anyways. but its very unlikely hes called up
