Thoughts on Yohermyn "Johermyn" Chavez ?

From a prospecting standpoint what are your thoughts on Mr. Chavez?

He's at High Desert (Adv A Seattle).
He hit .315 in 534 at bats with 168 hits, 30 doubles, 7 triples, 32 HRs, and 96 RBIs.

His only card is a 2008 Donruss Threads Auto /999 and a Topps Pro Debut card. Seeing his autograph is kinda limited do you guys think his overall value could increase if he has another year like that?

Thanks

Lots of debate about this guy on the Jays forums'.

He'll have to show he can put up numbers without the help of the best hitters park and league in baseball.

I don't get to go to many MiLB games, but I made it to a Lugnuts game last year (2009), and he was pretty rediculous. He literally wound up and swung on pitches where he thought the heater was coming and just tried to stay alive on everything else. Looked pretty funny when he missed the fastballs.

But, he did hit a laser double in one AB, there's some huge power potential.

Going merely by his stats at High Desert it doesn't look like he's changed his approach at all, which doesn't bode well for higher levels.

Sounds like wladimir balientien, he had a wind up swing back in the cal league as well.

If he can cut down on the K's he will keep on moving up in the system. He has big time potential but with a high probability of flaming out at AA.

If he makes it, he's going to be really good. But the odds of him making it are long.

Put it this way, I'm not even close to worrying about the fact the Jays dealt him.

So basically:

- His Adv. A stat mean nothing because it's a hitters league/club
- Strikes out a lot
- Power potential

I have a 08 Threads Auto incoming so I guess it's gonna go to the "wait" box.

Thanks guys.
