AAA Outfielders

LF Chris Aguila – R/R – 5’11” 200 – MiLB FA – 2/23/79

AAA: .295/.378/.560 20 2B, 2 3B, 29 HR, 53 BB, 102 K, 13/17 K – 420 AB, 116 G

Like Pascucci, Aguila will be 30 heading to spring training 2009, and like Pascucci, there’s no guarantee he’ll do so as a Met.

BP’s translated EQA suggests that Aguila would provide something like MLB average production, had he played in the big leagues all year.

OF/1B Valentino Pascucci – R/R – 6’6” 260 – MiLB FA 08 – 11/17/78

AAA: .290/.410/.553 23 2B, 27 HR, 77 BB, 109 K – 396 AB, 114 G

The Mets brought Pascucci in to AAA on April 30 and the big guy did exactly what he always does: hit for power, walk a lot, and crush lefties while waiting for another big league opportunity. Pascucci picked up his last big league AB in 2004 with Montreal.

BP’s translated EQA suggests that Pascucci would put up an MLB EQA of .280 in the big leagues against a .260 average on the strength of a .244/.351/.460 batting line. Would any team take a gamble on that?

He’ll be 30 heading to spring training 2009. Will he go hoping for an MLB shot or will he head off to Japan to some guaranteed cash? Tough choice.

CF Jesus Feliciano – L/L – 6’0” 174 – MiLB FA – 6/6/79

AAA: .308/.366/.383 21 2B, 4 3B, 3 HR, 41 BB, 57 K, 12/26 SB

He can play an ok centefield, but it’s not a special center, but doesn’t have enough secondary skills, power or discipline, to be a productive big leaguer.
