Brandon Moss is a 23-year-old outfielder in the Red Sox organization. Boston selected him out of high school in the 8th round of the 2002 draft. He bats left.
This season Moss is one of the leading batters in AAA, hitting .306/.391/.524 in 330 at bats. 31 doubles and 13 homers demonstrate his developing power. He also has 46 walks ... and 95 whiffs. His on-base-percentage ranks 3rd among "qualified" hitters in the International League. In slugging he ranks 4th.
In 2006, Moss hit .285/.357/.439 in his second go-round with AA Portland. Showed a little power - 36 doubles and 12 homers in 508 at bats. 56 walks and 108 strikeouts. 8 stolen bases, but caught 5 times.
Brandon Moss is having quite a season, has some power and can draw a walk. On the negative side, he whiffs quite a bit and is a horrible baserunner. And what the heck happened with the two seasons at AA? Sox fans shouldn't get their hopes up too high.
