I suppose that it’s not surprising that Cory Spangenberg (Winchester 2010) has been named a top prospect by John Sickels. It seems an appropriate way to start the 2015 season after making his major league debut in 2014, and hitting 290/313/452 in 62 at-bats for the Padres. (He hit 2 doubles, a triple, and 2 home runs in those at-bats!)
So Sickels had this to say about the 2010 Valley League Most Valuable Player:
10) Cory Spangenberg, INF-OF, Grade C+: Age 23, hit .317/.353/.455 with 16 steals mostly in Double-A with some rehab games at lower levels, hit .290/.313/.452 in 20 major league games. Nice line drive hitter with defensive versatility, could have a long career as a semi-regular/super-utility type.
THAT’S what we like to hear: “Could have a long career!”
We’ll be following along, that’s for sure….
