Who is Fred Lewis? (1 Viewer)

Gaddis

He has 12 hits in his first 25 major league at bats. 9 RBI, 10 R

His 5-hit game today got my attention. I've never heard of him. Any homers have the scoop?

 
Not a homer, but I know that he was seen as a CF prospect a couple of years ago. He has some speed and some pop, but not overly impressive with either tool. Has gone from possible CF to RF, which has dampened his value a bit. He's 26 now, so he's likely as good as he's going to get.

More of a former prospect / 4th or 5th outfielder type of major leaguer than a legit top prospect...mostly because he won't field well enough to play CF, and he won't hit quite enough to play the corners. But he has some talents. I picked him up in a deep NL only league earlier this week, and I plan on riding him until Roberts comes back from the DL.

 
Toolsy guy who might put it all together and become an everyday outfielder but much more likely to struggle along as a 4th outfielder type. He was pretty awesome today, though. Nice opposite field stroke from the left side (2B, 3B, and HR) were all opposite field off righties. Lewis is a switch hitter.

Edit: whoops, I was wrong. He bats lefty exclusively. Sorry for the misinformation. Giants fans appear to think upside is Mike Cameron, but more likely to be Randy Winn.

OK, after watching him for a couple of weeks , I have formed an opinion: decent hitter, though he strikes out too much for the little power he seems to have. Butcher in the field - makes at least one bad play in RF every single game.
