Re: Jason Place
I was going to wait till his OPS was over .700 but thought id give an update in. In 67 ABs in GCL hes batting .284/.364/.313. Hasnt demonstrated a lot of power but it'll come with age.

Re: Jason Place
Even if he's hot as a firecracker at each level, he won't be up before 2010, IMO.
