Dipoto trades for 3B Mike Ahmed from Dodgers

Post by rockycola » Fri May 24, 2019 12:29 am

Career minor leaguer, no 2019 stats. Last year, between Dodgers AA & AAA he was .248 \ .321 \ .380 /.701.
Played 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, RF and pitched 2/3 of an inning.
6'2" - 195 lb - 27 year old RH bat and throw.
Cost the M's cash.
Date Transaction
05/23/19 Toronto Blue Jays claimed LHP Zac Rosscup off waivers from Seattle Mariners.
............Los Angeles Dodgers traded 3B Mike Ahmed to Seattle Mariners for cash.
Looks like just a depth move.

Mike is Nick Ahmed's brother...perhaps there"s some personal history from JD's Diamondback days

It looks like he's playing SS for Arkansas RIGHT NOW, and has already recorded his first Mariner strikeout....time goes so fast! Andrew Moore looking good through 3.

From LA Dodgers top 100 profiles of 2017. He'll probably wind as #30 on the M's top 30 list
54. 3B Mike Ahmed (6’2, 195 pounds, 25 years old)
Ahmed is the brother of Diamondbacks’ shortstop Nick Ahmed. The Dodgers drafted him in the 20th round of the 2013 draft. He has steadily gotten better in his pro career and has settled in at third base. He projects as at least an average defender at the position, wtih a chance to be above-average thanks to good actions and a solid arm (not dissimilar from his brother, who is a good defensive shortstop). Offensively, he broke out, especially in the power department with a .218 ISO. His previous high had been .101, so it’s safe to say he got the Cal League bump. Ahmed does have good plate discipline, but not the best strike zone coverage. He doesn’t have enough bat to be a third base-only guy, so he’ll need to improve at the other infield positions is he’s to reach the majors at some point.
Best tool: Defense

More than 95 percent of your farm system is teammates for your prospects. I'm surprised that you'd even pay for someone like that.
