zolecki says phils favored to get this guy...

Jhailyn Ortiz | Rank: 1
Hometown: Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
Position: OF
Age: 16
DOB: 11/18/1998
Bats: R T
hrows: R
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 260 lb.

Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 65 | Run: 35 | Arm: 55 | Field: 50
Two words come to mind when Ortiz's name is mentioned: raw power.

Ortiz has the most raw power in the entire class, the type of power scouts have not seen from a player his age in years. The teenager puts on a show during batting practice and more importantly, he has shown the ability to hit for power in games. His home runs are legendary, and his line drives into the gaps are just as impressive.

Some scouts have concerns about his overall athleticism and wonder if his large frame will eventually force him to switch positions from the outfield (left field) to first base. Others believe he has the tools to stay in the outfield and he will only get better on defense and as an overall hitter once he signs and is placed into a team's academy. One thing is certain, the type of power Ortiz has does not come around very often and the team that signs him is getting a player that can not only hit home runs, but can hit them into the upper deck.

choke jr?

[Munson]

6'2 260? Jesus christ. Dude's either built like Dwayne Johnson or is a tub of lard.

[Dillen]

And it's not like he's a grown ass man either. He's 16.

[QB Eagles]

Another solid outing for the Fightins.

And there's this:

Sandberg said it was "a pretty good possibility" Utley's break "from the mental side" will continue through Wednesday's final game of the series. Sandberg said Utley has "hit the ball very hard, right on the nose," but hasn't had any luck.

1) Utley's slump isn't mental.
2) He HAS hit the ball significantly less hard than in past seasons.
3) If it's luck (and partially it is -- he's not THAT bad), what's the point of holding him out?

Is there a funnier/sadder stat than Utley leading this team in RBIs right now?
