Y. — Charles McAdoo was given one final at bat in the first game of Friday's doubleheader due to an intentional walk in front of him. A mistake, one that McAdoo quickly proved.
The Toronto Blue Jays ' promising prospect crushed a home run into the left field bullpen for the Triple-A Buffalo Bison. And then in his first at bat of the second game, McAdoo hit one even further to left, out onto the street outside the park. Yeah, the kid can play.
McAdoo, related in a cousin portion of the family tree to basketball Hall of Famer Bob McAdoo, is a powerful, speedy corner infielder. He hasn't ranked in the top-100 of any prospect lists, but when you watch him play, he pretty much immediately flashes his talent. His first at bat Friday featured just a chopper up the middle.
