Trivia Time!

The answer to yesterday's question was Hank Blalock, answered first by jtmorgan

Wrong answers included Melvin Upton Jr, Pat Burrell, Carl Crawford and Delmon Young

Today's prospect:

"[Prospect] may be the top hitting prospect in the minor leagues. Watching [Prospect] take batting practice can be reminiscent of a Mark McGwire show. He is adept at lining pitches down and away to right-center field, works counts like a leadoff hitter and adjusts his swing to different pitchers and situations. He has significantly improved his ability to get his hands through the hitting zone on plus inside fastballs."

Hint: was once one of the top two prospects in the game at the turn of the century.

That's currently the same number of runs that Kevin Kiermaier has scored in his career.

Here's the first of which that came via his first home run.
