With Hank Blalock going on the D.L. with a bad hammy, the Rangers called up OF Brandon Boggs from AAA. What got missed is the Rangers then promoted 2005 1st round pick, John Mayberry Jr., from AA to AAA. He hit his first AAA HR last night.
At the end of February, I metioned that Scott Servais, the Director of Player Development, told John Sickels that Mayberry was likely to be in the majors this summer. The promotion to AAA backs-up Servais' statement.
From Mr. Sickels' The Baseball Prospect Book 2008:
"...has tremendous power/speed potential, and if he can get the strike zone a bit more under control, he will be a Seven Skill player....a thre-way hybrid between jermaine Dye, Mike Cameron and Rob Deer....his ceiling is immense"
