| McEffect Report: Grossman has been one of the system's biggest surprises the last couple years. He is one of the most mature hitters at the lower levels of the system, drawing an astounding 104 walks in 134 games at Bradenton in 2011. For his career, Grossman has hit .268/.380/.383, but hit .294/.418/.451 with 13 home runs last year. He progressed significantly from 2010 to 2011 with more power and basically improving every element of his game, which is very good to see from a prospect at the lower levels. There are definitely some big questions with Grossman which will begin to be answered by seeing how he does in 2012 as he moves up in the system, but he could turn into a good major leaguer. We don't know how much power he will develop, my guess wouldn't be a huge amount but some. He's still extremely young, so it's hard to project him. He was a late round draft pick which tells me he lacks some raw skill. It will be interesting to see what Grossman does in 2012, he's definitely one of the guys I will have a close eye on. |
