No, but in an organization that seems to need CF'ers, its a decent gamble. And if you held Roark 2 more hours, you got nothing for him after the season.Originally Posted by JaxRed

The scouting reports make him sound more like a guy with limited power... but not necessarily not hit. Sounds more like a scouting report for Michael Bourne, than it does Billy Hamilton.

seems like a good trade to me if they would have traded Tanner Rainey for Jameson Hannah this winter I would have liked it so that's basically what they didThat’s a beautiful return for Roark.

."At just 5-foot-9, Jameson Hannah doesn't exactly stand out in everyday life. But on a baseball field, he's absolutely electric.
The A's drafted Hannah 50th overall in 2018 out of Dallas Baptist University, where he slashed .363/.451/.554 as a junior. After beginning his professional career with Vermont of the Short Season New York-Penn League last year, the 21-year-old was bumped up to High-A Stockton this season.
"Going straight to High-A is an aggressive assignment for anyone, even a college hitter as accomplished as Jameson," A's general manager David Forst told NBC Sports California. "So I don't think it was unexpected to take a little while for him to get his feet under him, but he's starting to swing the bat great. He has such a good all-field approach and knows hitting so well that it's only a matter of time before he starts to excel, even in a High-A league like that."
To Forst's point, Hannah has raised his slash line to .276/.340/.381 after getting off to a slow start. The left-handed hitting outfielder has two home runs, 17 doubles, 16 RBI and 36 runs scored this season. His 71 hits rank fifth in the California League, helping him earn an All-Star selection.
"(My) swing feels good but there's still room for improvement," Hannah said of his performance this season. "I'd like to see an increase in power numbers but just also stick true to my game. I'm kind of a speed guy, so being able to put the ball in play and also kind of turn and burn a little bit will definitely help."
MLB Pipeline ranks Hannah as the A's seventh-best prospect. They list him as a plus runner and defender with an advanced approach at the plate.
"He's a sweet swinger, along the lines of a (Astros outfielder) Michael Brantley," A's assistant general manager/director of player personnel Billy Owens said. "That would be the ultimate profile. He's got a smooth swing and hits to all fields. He has a chance to hit for a high average.
"He's got a nice blend. He can definitely run. He's an above-average runner. Really one of the pretty swings that you will see and the ability to use the whole field. I think that the power potential will probably hit in that 15 home run range

A+ OF Jameson Hannah headed to Reds from A's
Not that imposing on paper.

Looks like he can hit, just not for any real power (at least yet)
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

If those #s are right he’s stole 6 bases and been caught 7 times. That’s not gonna work with his lack of power.
Looks like a salary dump. Hope I'm wrong. At least we still possess Wood.

Reds desperately need a true CF in their system. I like it.

Hopefully they are right and stats are deceiving.

So is he 5'9" or 5'11"?
Might not be much of anything, but sometimes these guys turn into Eugenio Suarez. Never know I guess.
Kingspoint (07-31-2019)
I wouldn’t say no hit. He has a 55 hit tool according to FG and a solid batting average. No power though, but he’s a legit CF.
But it’s for 2 months of Tanner Roark.
What would you say.....ya do here?
Hannah is a better prospect than what we gave up for Roark (Rainey).
He’s also maybe a poor man’s version of Taylor Trammell.
I like it.
