Arizona Fall League 2008
By David Regan - Angelswin.com Contributor
It was a great time in Arizona this year. Saw five games in the 3 days I was there, including the Dodgers twice. The blue elected to not send most of their upper-level talent down there, so I wasn't really impressed with who was there other than a pitcher named Cody White, but he's a bullpen guy at best.
The guy that impressed me the most was a kid named John Mayberry Jr. (OF-TEX). If that name sounds familiar, then the answer is "yes", he is the son of the former Royals' first baseman. He just hit an absolute bomb, made a diving catch, and threw a guy out at 3B from RF in the game I was at.
For you Angels fans, they elected to send really very little in the way of top talent to Arizona this season. I did get to see Sean Rodriguez and though he's hitting just .215/.300/.405, it's clear he does have some pop in his bat.
