Example A)
Shawn Garrett
Has played in Minors since 1998; playing as high as AAA in 2004, 2005 and 2006. Take a look at some of his numbers (combined from all levels of play). He has played the most games in the minor leagues without a call up to the big leagues.
BA: .290
OBP: .348
SLG: .449
HR 105
RBI 595
It is worth noting in 2004 in AAA he hit .371 over 30 games or 116 at bats (a fair sample size).
*The Colarado Rockies finished 68-94 this year (4th in division); Garrett would have been worth of at least a September call up.
In 2005, he appeared in 131 games or 508 at bats hitting for a total average of .295
*The Oakland Athletics finished 88-74 (2nd in AL West); the case could again be made they he would have been worth a September call up.
Example B)
Mitch Jones
BA .247
OBP .335
SLG .491
HR 201
RBI 658
Jones was drafted 4 times. In 2000, the New York Yankees took him in the 7th round. He has played minor league baseball now for 9 seasons including a stint in Japan. He has hit as many as 39 homeruns (AA) and 27 (AAA).
*There surely are a number of teams who could be attracted to his power potential, especially the low market teams. While playing in NY farm system he was stuck behind the likes of Sheffield and Giambi.
