Started out at Missouri State, hit a respectful .286 in 88 plate appearances his first full season then transferred to Johnson County CC and hit .396 with 10 dingers, 30 2B's, 65 RBI's & 19 SB's. Also had a .494 OBP & .696 SL.

Hit leadoff & 2B for JCCC.


 
Could this possibly be a Core Jackson replacement if he indeed leave? Would love to keep Core on the roster but kid has to make his own decision.

I think it's a quadruple edge sword, with 1 being the most important followed by 2 then 3 & 4 in no specific order.

1) Blake can definitely play & they feel he's better than Jackson
2) Protection on Jackson
3) Protection on Matthews, either as a transfer or position switch
4) Solidifies Anderson & Cervantes as corner guys

We need quality depth and that's not something we've had defensively the last 2 seasons. We're basically telling Cervantes he's a defensive specialist late in the game, Anderson is a corner guy, and 5 others will compete for the 2 middle spots with 1 of them possibly moving to 3B pushing Anderson to 1B while another (Matthews) could switch to CF.

Quality depth, forces legit competeition, very important!
