The Book on Callix Crabbe

Prospect Info

Callix Crabbe
Born 2/14/1983
2B, MLW

An on-again/off-again prospect, Crabbe's chances of breaking into major league ball increased with his pickup by San Diego, who has no long-term MI prospect after Matt Antonelli.

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'.

Player Updates and Notes

San Diego has returned Callix Crabbe, who they acquired via Rule 5 draft, to the Milwaukee Brewers. Ironically, Crabbe may now have more of a chance to play soon, because of the messed up Brewer infield, even though one of the reasons he went to San Diego in the first place was because there were more openings on the west coast.
