That being said, he is incredibly young for AAA and the Yanks have gotten pretty good production out of Melky and Gardner (which is shocking), so there's no rush for him to be called up. He'll have plenty of time to learn in AAA. I think Jackson needs to cut down on his K’s before he’s ready to hit in the Majors.

He looks to be a 2-3 WAR player and not much more at this point. Yeah, Jackson’s ceiling seems to have gone down a lot since he went on that tear in A+ ball in ’07.

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:17:09 +0000 http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/?p=5714#comment-81877 Jackson's expected BABIP should be around .360 based on his LD rate(I know, unreliable in the minors) and career numbers. If you apply Jackson's expected BABIP of .360 to his current line, which I think is fair, you would get a line of .268/.347/.380. That is a drop in OPS of 150 points. I wouldn't consider him as someone who is "offense in reserve," and I don't expect to see him in the majors until midway through next season.

The other two are over 30 years old, though both are likely better than Berroa.

Not sure his prospect status will look as bright as it does right now if that regresses. Last year it was .348 in AA. Austin Jackson is surviving on an insane BABIP of .463.

Last year they let LaTroy Hawkins stink up the joint until July iirc. Edwar Ramirez and Jose Veras had quicker hooks this year, but it wasn't quick enough, given the fact they have attractive relief options in AAA. Why Mark Melancon is withering away in AAA while Brett Tomko has a spot and why it appears that Cody Ransom will be rejoining the team when he gets off the DL are just confounding.
