Lucas Duda – New York Mets 1B


H/W:  6-4  225 lb.     B/T:  L/R     DOB:  2/3/86

Duda has a statuesque build, but thus far has been unable to harness his natural strength into tangible power production on the diamond.  He has a natural line drive swing and he has a firm grasp of the strike zone, though he strikes out more than what is acceptable from someone who hit just 11 HR. Defensively, Duda has average skills at 1B and can also play in the OF corners if needed.  He is not a threat on the basepaths, as testified by his 2 SB in 9 attempts.  Long term, if he can discover how to generate more loft from his swing, Duda can realize a power increase similar to what Marlins OF prospect Bryan Petersen accomplished this year.  If he doesn't, his chance to develop into a major league player dims significantly.

Key RC's:

  • 2008 Bowman Chrome Prospects
  • 2008 Donruss Threads Gold RC #/250

Sean Doolittle – Oakland A’s 1B/OF


H/W:  6-3  190 lb.     B/T:  L/L     DOB:  9/26/86

Doolittle started his 2008 campaign at High-A Stockton where he proved critics of his power potential wrong by the cover off of tha ball.  In 86 games, Doolittle hit .305 with 18 HR 61 RBI and 25 doubles.  This performance was good enough to earn him a promotion to AA Midland where he struggled early on to make consistent contact, but a late season hot streak boosted his AA average to .254.  Doolittle has a sweet left-handed line drive swing that seems to have developed more loft and power Read the full story
