Baseball America Prospect Hot Sheet: Mike Moustakas & Matt Wieters

by faketeams on Aug 8, 2008 2:30 PM EDT in Baseball Comment 1 comment

This week's Hot Sheet is lead by Kansas Royals' 2007 1st round pick, Mike Moustakas. After a one HR April with a slashstat line of 190/253/226, his celing looked a lot lower.

Now he has 20 HRs in his first full season and has a slashstat line of 267/330/472 in the hitter unfriendly Midwest League. His star remains undiminished going into 2009 fantasy drafts..

There will be a chat about the Hot Sheet at 3PM. It is open to the public so feel free to chime in and ask why Matt Wieters doesn't have a permanent spot reserved for him.

In high A, he hit 15 HRs with 8 doubles in 229 ABs for a slashstat line of 345/448/576 with 47 K and 44 BBs. in Double-A, he has 7 HRs and 10 doubles in 130 ABs for a slashstat line of 354/452/592 with 19 Ks and 25 BBs.

Looks like he's ready for the next level.

David Price

Q: Alex from Hercules, CA asks:
David Price seems like a superstar in the making, is he really worth all the hype? Is he absolutely, without a doubt, the real thing?

A: Ben Badler: He’s worth the hype, but there’s always doubt. Remember when he missed the first month of the season? But I’ll take him over any other pitcher in the minors right now.
