Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Mike Baxter - OF - Padres

So I was perusing my BA Prospect Report, and Baxter pops in today. Kind of an interesting profile, has  a 1:1 BB:K ratio in the AFL, and is hitting a robust .407 in a rather small sample of 81 ABs. The thing I took notice of was his splits. He is hitting .563 with a OPS of 1.882 against lefthanders, albeit in 16 ABs. When he was drafted back in 2005,  his consistent approach was lauded, while he had to make some adjustments from aluminum to wood, and conditioning so as to withstand the rigors of a 140 game schedule. What do you guys think of Baxter? Utility guy, or more of a fringy, 2nd division type player whp plays 150 games eventually?

he looks like

a guy who is old for his league and who doesn’t hit for much power. if you’re looking for some kind of sleeper, he does nothing for me.
