The Oakland A’s have two players in camp this spring that played in Stockton last season. One is obviously uber-prospect Addison Russell, while the other is C Bruce Maxwell. The Ports have a story up on their page about these two.
Russell is all over the hot-prospects lists and he dazzled at Stockton last year after making the jump from three 2012 stops at Rookie, Short Season and loA ball. The 6′ 0″, 190-lb Florida native got off for 17 homers and 60 RBI’s while posting a line of .275/.377/.508. Russell improved dramatically in the second half of the Cal League season and got into three games at AAA Sacramento.
