"Gillaspie is one of the most advanced bats in this year's draft. We consider him to be a fast-track player," said Senior Vice President and General Manager Brian Sabean. "He plays a position of need for us and we feel it is extremely important to go into this off-season knowing as much about him and the position as possible. Getting the immediate benefit of working with our Major League staff will only accelerate his development."
