Tag: Starling Marte

As we head into the final week of minor league baseball, the Bradenton Marauders hitters are comfortably leading the Florida State League in both batting average and OPS. They are also leading the league in runs scored and 3rd in homers. What I'm wondering though is if McKechnie Field is assisting in this offensive outburst or if the Marauders just have a great group of talented hitters.

What I wanted to do in this article is attempt to gauge the OFP of two players, Andrew McCutchen from his 2008 scouting reports while at AA and Starling Marte in 2011 from his presumed AA scouting reports.
