Jonathon Mayo of milb.com wrote an article on the top 10 names to know in the Florida State League and Drew Stubbs came in at #8. Here is what he had to say:
8. Drew Stubbs, OF
Sarasota Reds (Cincinnati)
Want to see a guy who really can go get ’em in center? Then Stubbs (Photo:MWLguide.com) might be your guy. Even though he was banged up last year, he still managed to swipe 23 bases. When healthy, that should improve. He’s got raw power to spare and even the larger parks in the FSL won’t hold him if he starts to realize his potential in that area. He does swing and miss quite a bit, though he’ll also draw some walks along the way. Even more encouraging for Sarasota fans is that he raised his batting average 33 points in the second half of last season and made some adjustments that enabled him to cut down that K rate quite a bit. If that’s a springboard, Reds fans could be in for quite a treat.
Sounds a lot like how I feel about Stubbs. I really think this is his year to make some noise. Time will tell, but the season starts in just over a week.
