2004 MONTREAL POSITION REPORT: Left Field

Earl Birnbaum (Avg/Fair/Avg,6/3/6,27yo) is the returning starter. He was our primary leadoff man, despite having little/no speed. He turned in a .340 OBP last year. Russ Mangan (Avg/Brl/Avg,4/7/6,25yo), looks like he might be ready. He had 22 HR and an .842 OPS in AAA last year. Mangan’s an all-around talent, with an “A” arm, and “A” speed and stealing ability. He can play LF or RF with C range, and is a 4-star prospect.

OVERALL THOUGHTS: I’ve got to give Mangan a shot. Birnbaum, being a left-handed hitting who can play LF or CF, will get some at bats.
