Gilmore

Gilmore is best known as being part of the deal that sent Javier Vazquez to the Braves in December of 2008. However, the 24-year-old never developed any power and injuries limited him to just 33 games this season with Double-A Birmingham. He was the No. 33 overall pick in the 2007 First-Year Player Draft.

The triple came off the rehabbing Tom Gordon. Gilmore, the 33rd overall pick in the 2007 draft out of an Iowa high school, is batting .368/.383/.439 in 57 at-bats.

Gilmore, the 33rd overall selection in the 2007 draft, was a bust at low Single-A Rome at the beginning of last season, but he did bounce back following a demotion. He ended up hitting .186/.202/.196 in 102 at-bats for Rome and .337/.365/.473 in 258 at-bats for SS Single-A Danville. He just turned 20 in August and he probably has 25-homer potential, so he is a prospect. Still, he doesn’t currently project as a starting third baseman in the majors.
