Mills tries to concetrate

Nice little piece on Mills in the Arizona Fall League, with a few bytes devoted to our other AFL attendees.

Misspelling intentional.

Also stumbled upon this great page, which summarizes the current stats for all Indians prospects across all the Fall and Winter Leagues. No more hunting around for ¡Liga de Beisbol Dominicano! It's been added to Essential Links on the sidebar.

I’ll add here that noted Mills hater, Keith Law, said in today’s chat that he could see Carlos Santana on the big league club in 2009.

Well, he’s clearly ahead of Mills as of this date.

Isn’t that a given, since we will have to roster Santana this off-season? Unless he falls off the table, he will be a September callup.

Plus, Santana did spend some, albeit not much, time at AA this season; Mills did not, so it would seem Santana would have the edge anyway, though perhaps it’s a wider gap than it might initially appear (after all, it’s likely both Santana and Mills will start the season at AA Akron).

Just my 2 cents.

The "cream of the crop" doesn't always rise to the top.

Santana has an edge because he hit better, and in particular hit far better relative to position. A handful of games in Double-A is not of any consequence.
