Post prospect: Robert Hassell III, OF

[welch]

Last night:

LF Robert Hassell III receives the honor of Player of the Game Tuesday night. The former San Diego Padres first-rounder picked up four hits at the plate, going 4-for-5 with a double, three singles, an RBI and two runs scored. Across eight games played at Coca-Cola Park in his professional career, Hassell III is hitting .543 (19-for-35) with six extra-base hits (2 HR, 4 2B), an .819 slugging percentage and 1.448 OPS.

I flipped the title over to "Post prospect" from Not a Prospect. Kinder tone.

I expect the next call up for a Rochester outfielder might wait for a while. I don't think Wiemer will be allowed to block Crews if he is crushing it down in AAA, but otherwise I think they have to clear out Wiemer and maybe Young (or have injuries) before Hassell forces his way up.

Went oh-fer last night. If he remembers how to hit, he might be worth some games in Washington. I'm not convinced Wiemer is an MLB player.

428' HR tonight (#1 on the season).
