Mark Thompson

Mark's defining tool currently is his glove. He has average arm strength, is an average major league runner, but has some adjustments to make as a hitter. For him to be a regular he has to excel in the field and he has to learn to hit more than he can right now. After his play in the Fall Instructional League he was compared to Mike Bordick. He impressed pretty much everyone in that camp and, although he probably projects as no more than a utility infielder in the majors if he ever makes it that far, his attitude and defensive skills make it a distinct possibility that he may reach his potential.
