He quit switch hitting last year, and instead hit only from the right side, but this year he went back to switch hitting. He's hitting .294 against LHP and .308 against RHP, so it looks like he's got that straightened out. He's good defensively, but I can't really go much more into it that that. He's already 21, so he is a bit old for the level. I don't think the Yanks will fast track him, unless they plan on bumping PJ Pilittere up to AAA from AA as well. He could hit the show in 2008, but 2009 is more likely. He's the best in-house candidate to take over behind the plate once Jorge's gone, but that doesn't mean he's some great prospect. He's still got lots to prove. Cervelli’s definitely a contender, it’s very impressive how he skipped a level and hasn’t missed a beat.

He also pointed to a reader of his who found out that Charleston added Austin Jackson to the DL with a “lower body injury”. Hopefully neither is too serious, and both won’t have their season impacted too much.

Well... I guess that rules out half the possibilities. http://riverdogs.com/news/headlines/index.html?article_id=1029 The word is that Austin Jackson is on the DL with a “lower body injury”.

You know anything more about him other than what we can read in the numbers? I dont want to jinx things by even mentioning it, but do you have any sense that he might be a real contender?
