POSITION REPORT: Right Field
30-year-old Antonio Mejia (6/3/5) has been the primary starter for the past two seasons. He's got "A" stealing ability, and A range in RF. He is a decent #2 hitter, but nothing special. We've got yet another big prospect here, 4 1/2 star talent Bryan Heasley (Good, Good, Avg). Heasley was a 5th-round draft choice, but his outlook has brightened in four years of A ball. At age 22, he's still got time to develop. He's currently rated 3/3/3. He's got an "A" arm.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: Mejia is cheap ($819K) and signed through the end of next year. We'll try to keep him around until Heasley reaches the bigs.
