Brandon Moss

Baseball America - Top 10 Prospects: Boston Red Sox

BA had him pre-season #2 and guessed he'd begin in High A.

He began in AA and got off to a start that would have made a High A assignment more intelligent.

But Moss has been on fire. He has his AVG up to .293. The stats sabremetricians like best, OBP, SLG and the adding of the two, OPS, are very good - .370, .497, .866. He has 7 HR - half his 2004 total in 1/3 the ABs.

As we suffer the humidity (and hope it is warm enough now for Randy Johnson to be very good), keep Moss in mind in trade talks. There may be an owner who does not realize how good he is after his terrible April or one who does and will accept him in a bail trade.
