Cole Gillespie?

What are you thoughts on Gillespie? I was estatic when he landed him in the 3rd round. Does anything else think he might see the majors in 2008?

If it's 2008, I'd guess it'd be in September. I think he's going to be a really good hitter, but the highest he probably starts this year is Brevard (though I think the team should maybe start skipping their top prospects past there, a la High Desert). If he mashed in Braun-fashion there, though, and did the same at Huntsville for the second half, he could see Nashville in 2008, and get called up at some earlier point in the season.

 

He's definitely an advanced hitter (40 BB in 186 AB at Helena), so I don't think he'll be seriously tested until AA.
