Greg Halman – Seattle Mariners OF

H/W:  6-4  195 lb.     B/T:  R/R     DOB:  8/26/87

Halman transformed from over-matched whiff machine to a near 30/30 man in a little more than a season.   Halman continued to hit well batting .268 with 19 HR 53 RBI and 23 SB before being promoted to AA West Tennessee where he hit .277 with 10 HR and 8 SB.  Halman has a tremendously athletic frame that should add strength as he matures and he possesses considerable arm strength.  His above average range and good defensive instincts that will play well at any OF position.

The big caveat with Halman is the alarming strikeout rates that continue to hamper his development.  Halman punched out 142 times this season while drawing only 32 walks.  This number must improve for Halman to have success at the major league level.

2009 Projection: Halman should start at AA West Tennessee this spring, which should provide a good test for him.  Halman's plate discipline, as evidenced by his 2 BB/28 K ratio in the Arizona Fall League, is just too raw to be on a fast track to Safeco.  Halman is just 21 years old and has ample time and opportunities to polish his skills.  His first year autograph in the 2008 Donruss Threads set is immensely popular with several collectors who feel the same way.
