2009 BA Hot Sheet/BP Monday Ten Pack Casey Kelly, RHP, Red Sox (Single-A Greenville) The Red Sox' top pick last June, Kelly's pro debut was far from memorable, as he hit just .215/.255/.331. However, that was at shortstop, and now we're talking about Kelly the right-hander, who was one of the top high-school arms on the board. Making his professional mound debut on Sunday, Kelly delivered five shutout innings while allowing four hits and striking out four in a 9-0 win over Greensboro, showing a plus fastball with late life and outstanding command, as well as an above-average breaking ball. The plan for now is to have him pitch in the first half and play shortstop in the second, but one wonders if the Red Sox are hoping that this kind of dominance on the mound can just move him there permanently, because while he's a fine shortstop, most scouts agree that out on the mound is where the true upside is. Josh Reddick, OF, Red Sox (Double-A Portland) Reddick had a monster season in 2008... well, at least in the California League, where he hit .343/.375/.593 in 76 games. Things didn't go so well after a move up to Double-A, as his numbers slipped dramatically to .214/.290/.436. Scouts saw his overly aggressive approach finally catching up with him, as more advanced pitchers were able to exploit his tendency to expand his strike zone. He's still swinging a lot in his return engagement to the Eastern League, drawing just one walk in his first four games, but everything else is clicking, as Reddick hit home runs on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as part of a 7-for-14 weekend that also included a pair of doubles. If he can stay in center field, he could be a monster prospect, but even if he moves to right (and some scouts have put a pure 80 on his arm), he's still a solid big-leaguer. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.160.73.90
