Prospect of the Day:  2B Carlos George

The Brewers drafted George in the 46th round of the 2008 Draft out of James Monroe High School in New York City. He chose to sign a professional contract with the Brewers instead of pursuing collegiate baseball, and he has made his way around the lower levels of the organization. The bat shows flashes, though the 23-year-old has struggled with consistency, his defense, and his approach at the dish.

His measurables have always been intriguing, which is why the Brewers drafted the young man as an extremely raw prospect in the late rounds. He is 6-foot-2 with a muscular frame — granted it could fill out a bit — and above-average speed. George is also an excellent example, however, that a very good athlete does not always translate into a very good baseball player.

A former player once told me that everyone in the minor leagues has the ability to do what they do in the big leagues. It’s just … the big leaguers do it every single time. It’s consistency. It’s being consistently great, instead of showing flashes of being great.

Consistency has never been a part of Carlos George’s game. On Friday night, though, his elite athletic skills that make him a professional baseball player shined through and helped him go 2-for-3 with his second home run of the year.
