Josh Kroeger

[CubinNY]

Someone in the know give me the scoop on Josh Kroger.

 

Wasn't he a top prospect for the Diamond Backs at one time? What is he doing in AA?

 

Am I mistaken?

 

Does he have a future?

 

Edit: it's Kroeger not Kroger. Stupid.

I don't know what kind of future he has, but he was hitting the ball well over the weekend.

I'm kinda thinking that he followed Wilkin over from the Blue Jays, but The Baseball Cube isn't working for me right now so I can't confirm that.

He's never been in the Blue Jay or Devil Ray organizations.

Its Kroeger, not Kroger.

At the bottom of this story, you can find some infor about Josh.

 

Unlike Fox, a Cubs third-round pick in the 2003 draft, Kroeger and Cortes are in their first years with Chicago’s farm system.

 

The 24-year-old Kroeger signed as a minor league free agent last December after spending 2006 with Triple-A Scranton of the Philadelphia Phillies’ farm system. He made his major league debut with Arizona in 2004.

 

This season, Kroeger has recorded a hit in all but five of his starts.

 

“He’s above average in the outfield, runs well and has a good arm,” Tennessee manager Pat Listach said of Kroeger. “He’s a left-handed hitter, so you can plug him into that lineup any night and he’ll do some damage. He doesn’t say much in the clubhouse, but from 7 to 10, he’s all business.”

He sounds dreamy.

I thought that was the same guy. He was like a can't miss. I think he was drafted third or something like that. He only got like 24 PAs in the the bigs in 2004 and now he's in AA.

 

What gives?

.738 and .640 OPS at AAA in the 2 years after his MLB cup of coffee did him in.

Yikes! That will do it.

2 hr's for kroeger tonight. maybe he should be called up if they do decide to trade murton. along with fox, kroeger's success is making the soriano signing that much worse imo.
