Prospect of the Day:  OF Michael Reed, Biloxi

Reed has garnered a lot of attention in 2015, hitting an impressive .281/.382/.426 in Double-A with 25 stolen bases and five home runs. As mentioned yesterday, he has increased his ceiling from that of a fourth outfielder to perhaps a everyday starter. It was, overall, a boring day on the Brewers farm — which didn’t matter, given the incredible trade drama on Thursday evening — so the Prospect of the Day goes to a guy with a couple walks, a stolen base, and an interesting position change.

On a night when the Brewers agreed, in principle, to move Carlos Gomez to New York, Michael Reed played center field and Tyrone Taylor played right field. It’s not the first time Reed has patrolled center. In fact, he’s done so in eight games this year. Still, it feels strange that one of the more advanced outfield bats in the upper levels suddenly switched positions to the one that would fill a new hole in the big-league roster. Perhaps I’m reading too much into an innocuous position change that was simply meant to expand Reed’s defensive versatility. Or perhaps he’s someone the Brewers view as a potential option in center field for if/when Carlos Gomez leaves Milwaukee. It’s something to track in the coming days.
