Is Mahoney a prospect now?

[caljr]

Mahoney just went deep again...4 for 4 with 2 homers, a double, and a single. Wow!

This may be the biggest hot streak I have ever witnessed! He is hitting like he is on a video game!!! Unbelievable!!!

More like a Ghost Pepper streak.

I am pretty sure that Doc Shorebird has called Mahoney one of the best natural athletes to come through that team in recent years, and that he had the highest vertical leap on the squad.

Over the last 5 games, Mahoney has hit .650 with 5 home runs. Ridiculous!!

Hahaha.

I don't mess with ANYTHING over 3 times hotter than a Habenero. Right now that includes Mahoney.

Speaking of which, how is it no one has posted a Police Academy montage of people yelling "MAHONEEEEYYYYY!!!!"?

...but none even close to this! 7 HR in 6 days? What are they feeding that guy????

It would be so nice to see someone emerge as a legit 1B power hitting threat...

Hopefully not HGH:p

That would happen at Norfolk. Snyder was very good at Bowie also.

Good point. It seems many dreams end in Norfolk and that huge outfield.

Maybe they should send him straight for Baltimore before he cools off.

Michael Aubrey hit 7 HR in 6 days (and 8 in 8 days) earlier this week with Norfolk and drove in 16 RBIs over that span to boot.

Pretty amazing to have two O's farmhands do it the same week!

The one thing that has been missing from Big Joe's game was power. If his power truly is emerging he could become a legitimate top prospect.

Meleweski with a piece on Mahoney. I'm not sure what to make of this guy as his numbers prior to this season don't elicit much excitement.

[Frobby]

Nice to see Mahoney giving some credit to his coaches, especially Denny Hocking. If you see all the position players who made a lot of progress at Frederick this year -- Hoes, Avery, Miclat, Mahoney and others -- it's apparent that something is going right down there.

[caljr]

Mahoney keeps on rolling. So far tonight - 3 for 4 with two doubles, raising his average to .422 in 22 games with Bowie.

[Flosman]

Ok this kid keeps rolling along. He is a proper aged kid at AA hitting over 400 with power. Good patience, great speed very projectible body. I assume you goes to afl if he continues do we not look for a first baseman this offseason. I would think you get close to saying between reimold, Scott, snyder, hughs, this kid and Aubry seone will imerge.
