Drafted in the 10th round by the A's, Dixon cancelled his scholarship to play WR for Mississippi State and signed a $600 K bonus. He immediately reported to Oakland's Arizona League rookie affiliate where he mashed 8 HR and 10 triples in 45 games. Rashun oozes athleticism and power potential and his initial adjustments to professional pitching has A's officials laud him for his tremendous make-up and work ethic. While his raw tools are quite exciting, there is much room for refinement. Dixon's garnered an 18 BB/68 K ratio and his swing, while powerful and fast, lacks fluidity and balance at times. The A's project that Dixon will be a CF at the major league level, though he mainly played RF and catcher in high school.
2009 Projection: Although he performed quite well at rookie league ball, expect the A's to work with Dixon at extended spring training before sending him to short-season Vancouver in June. Like many young and toolsy prospects, there are plenty of rough spots in Dixon's game that will need to be polished. Watch to see how he adjusts his approach at the plate. The A's are an organization that prides itself on grinding out AB's, if Dixon can fall in line with this corporate value, his athleticism may vault him to the very top of their organizational chart within the next couple of seasons.
