Scouting Report 8/21/2009

This is a scouting report on Archie Gilbert. Ironically, Archie hit a homerun after this report was submitted.

Archie Gilbert, CF
Hitting .286/.387/.362 with 25 steals in 39 attempts, 53 walks, 46 strikeouts in 398 at-bats. Very fast, and can really scoot in center field. Didn't look like much offensively in this game other than his speed, appears to lack power. At age 26 his prospect status is limited, but it wouldn't surprise me to see him get some emergency action as a reserve outfielder sometime.

Archie Gilbert hit a solo shot homerun down the left field line for a 6-0 lead in the sixth inning. Archie also made two "Web Gem" caliber diving catches in center.
