Default Re: The Top prospects in the Red Sox system.

Obviously he hasn't. He's just another one of those guys who thinks that stats mean everything and at baseball's lower levels they can often mean very little.

Still's stats were strong in Greenville but a guy who has played three years at a baseball school should be putting up strong stats in the Sally League. In fact, the vast majority of guys who did well at baseball school's their junior year ended up in high-A for most of the year and the ones that did well, went to AA at some point. Bates played in the same conference. I'm not all that impressed with a guy who puts up a .923 OPS playing against guys that are often three years younger.

In Still's short time at Lancaster, you've seen a significant dip in his production and he's playing in a band-box.

Its way to early to tell, but Still seems to have all the earmarks of a low minors masher who ends up as a 24 year old in AA with mediocre numbers, and no position much like Pinkney, Natale, and Corsaletti. This despite killing pitching in the low-minors.
