The Yankees have announced that they have called minor league outfielder Colin Curtis up from Triple-A Scranton. There is no word yet on exactly whom Curtis will be replacing on the roster.
Curtis, 25, has played 35 games at the Triple-A level this season. In those games he has 125 at bats, a .280 average, .357 OBP, .368 SLG, and a .725 OPS. He split 2009 between Double-A and Triple-A. In 132 games last season he had a combined .250 average, .321 OBP, and a .686 OPS.
He’s always been considered a solid, but unspectacular prospect because he is a very average player in many respects. He’s got a bat that has played at every level, but was not outstanding anywhere and he has never displayed much pop. He plays defense at all three outfield spots, but has both an average arm and range. He doesn’t steal bases, but isn’t station to station.
He’s really very average so it will be interesting to see if he sticks at the major league level. He isn’t likel...
