@brett: A lot of top prospects put up high BABIP in the minors.

@Stephen: Thanks. I'm not expecting a lot in terms of power, I'm just hoping he can make enough contact to hit for a decent average (his high BABIPs in the minors are a bit worrying). Looks like draws a few walks and has above average speed, so if he can put up lead-off type numbers and play solid defense at the league minimum for the next few years, i'll be happy.

@brett: I’ve actually never done an Austin Jackson Scouting the Unknown article. However, straight from Baseball America (2009):

“He’s a smart baserunner with maybe a tick above average speed, though he’s not likely to be a big league basestealer in the majors. Defensively, Jackson can glide to balls in the gap with plus range and has a strong accurate arm that could allow him to more to right field.
Jackson lacks a standout tool but earns future grades of solid-average to plus across the board.”

Also to note, they mentioned how if he bulks up in his maturing years, he’ll have to move to one of the corner outfield spots. Keep his power projections in check as he is projected to only have average power at best.

@Stephen/Grey: Thanks for the projections. Stephen, chances are you've covered him somewhere already, but how's his defense? From what I've read he's not a standout but the Morgan/Gomez comparisons got me thinking. Were those strictly offensive comps or is he better than i thought?
