| Head is legit power hitter |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(2/10/13) MLB.com reports A's prospect Miles Head might not pass the eye test, but there's no denying he can play the game. Head, who was acquired from the Red Sox in December 2011, hit .333 with 23 homers, 32 doubles and 84 RBI in 124 games between Class A and Double-A last season. "He's one of those Barney Rubble guys who certainly doesn't look the part of a major league player," A's special advisor Grady Fuson said of Head, who is 6-0, 215 pounds. "But talent-wise, this guy can jump the ball out of any ballpark. He loves to play, he's got the same demeanor every day. He's learning the little technical fundamental things at third base -- footwork, throwing slots. But he's got a knack for slapping leather to a baseball, whether he's at third or first. He's a legit offensive type of guy."

| If you assessed him on raw numbers alone, Miles Head would be the Athletics' most exciting corner infield prospect since Dan Johnson. See the problem there? Like Johnson, Head has benefited from some of the favorable hitting environments in the Athletics' minor-league system. He did most of his damage last year in the heavy-hitting California League, batting .382 with 18 homers and a 1.149 OPS in 267 at-bats. In his two most recent stints in neutral leagues -- the Carolina League back in 2011 and the Texas League late in 2012 -- he produced an OPS below .750. The one thing Head has going for him that Johnson didn't is experience with another organization. He was initially with the Red Sox, only coming over to the Athletics in the Andrew Bailey deal last offseason, and the numbers he put up in his one full season with them were similar to the ones he put up last season. In other words, the data on Head is still too limited for us draw any real conclusions from it. His status as a second-tier prospect with the Athletics is rightful cause for skepticism, but if you disregard him because of it, you could miss out on a big-time power hitter a couple years from now. Then again, a lack of power was never Johnson's problem either. (Updated 1/4/13) |
