The Book on Callix Crabbe
Prospect Info
Callix Crabbe
Born 2/14/1983
2B, SEA
An on-again/off-again prospect, Crabbe's chances of breaking into major league ball increased slightly with his pickup by Seattle, who could probably benefit from some infield depth.
Playing his age 23/24 season with the Brewer's Nashville club in the AAA PCL, Crabbe hit .287 with nine homers, posting an OPS of .812, all espectable numbers at that level, especially from a middle infielder. His career walks-to-strikeouts ratio is dead even, and he has usable speed, swiping 17, 18 and 32 bases in his last three AA and AAA seasons.
A contact hitter with good on-base skills and solid infield hands, Crabbe's short-term value may be as a utility player. If an injury takes out any of the infielders ahead of him, he's more than capable of stepping in and holding his own.
Those of you thinking about how great a baseball name Crabbe has may also wish to note that the gentleman's middle name is 'Sadeaq'.
