BUMP IT. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!

Gillies looks like a pretty big guy. He's listed at 6-1 200 at baseball cube. You'd think he'd put on even more weight as he gets older. He has great size for a guy that fast, which makes me surprised I haven't seen him compared to Carl Crawford.

Well, he might make a better lead-off guy than Doug Glanville, Ricky Otero and Jimmy Rollins and still not be all that great.

I think it will be very interesting to see what he does out of the High Desert environment. He had 14 triples last year. Also 18 HBP which seems like a lot. Only grounded into 6 DPs.

while high desert is probably the best hitting environment in the minors, i'm not sure it inflated any of the tools that most people love gillies for: elite speed, awesome defense and strong obp skills. i think he can fill out a bit and add some more pop too. he'll play the whole AA season at age 21 (assuming the phils place him in reading).

HBP's are a skill. I'd guess he'll continue to get those. And the high desert park isnt huge by any means - 340 down the lines, 401 to Center, so the triples might hold up as well.

watching that reminded me of the "It's okay, I think he has a no-trade clause" (re: the Phanatic) and "I just wanted a shirt that said 'three-peat!' " lines from phdave's. legendary.
