2013
There was no outlook written for Russell Mitchell.
2012
Mitchell is nearing Quad-A status if he hasn't reached it already. Mitchell has posted OPS marks of .898 and .875 the past two seasons for Triple-A Albuquerque, but he hasn't translated Triple-A success to big league playing time, having netted just 93 sub-.200 average at-bats since 2010. Mitchell underwent wrist surgery in September and will need a huge spring to have any sort of chance at cracking the big league roster.
2011
With Russell Martin's departure, Mitchell immediately becomes the best "Russ M." in the system. All kidding aside, Mitchell had a bit of a breakout in 2010, batting .315/.363/.535 with 23 home runs and 38 doubles for Triple-A Albuquerque. He was just 6-for-42 with the Dodgers (two homers), but his 1.164 Triple-A OPS versus southpaws may get him on the 25-man roster in 2011. In that role, he would spell James Loney and Casey Blake at the corners. Mitchell has some talent, but it would take an injury for him to find his way onto many fantasy rosters.
