36 Tyler Flowers CHW C B .311/.411/.607 in June after a poor May. Just .239 vs. RHP vs. .361 vs. southpaws.
38 Brandon Allen CHW 1B B Promotion to AAA looks well-deserved: 8-for-17 with a HR there. Konerko's contract up after 2010.
43 Michael Saunders SEA OF B It's June and he's forgotten how to hit (11-for-66) after a .364/.438/.586 May.
47 Lonnie Chisenhall CLE 3B B 2008 first rounder slumping (.235 avg) in June but overall an .863 OPS.
48 Jordan Danks CHW OF B .881 OPS with 8 SB, but 63 K in 60 IP could limit AVG at upper levels.
1 David Price TAM SP A No BB in last start is encouraging - BB/9 sits at 6.2, but that will continue falling.
4 Brian Matusz BAL SP A How's this for a AA debut?: 6-3-0-0-1-10. 1.98 ERA and 85:22 K:BB in 72 2/3 IP overall.
5 Neftali Feliz TEX SP A Much better - 5-7-1-1-1-7 in his last start. 60 2/3 IP, 55:27 K:BB.
6 Derek Holland TEX SP A- Very nice start on Saturday against a subpar Giants offense, but may be the start of a nice run.
7 Chris Tillman BAL SP A- Somehow 0-4 in June despite 3.27 ERA and 23:5 K:BB in 22 IP.
National League
34 Kyle Blanks SD 1B B Not sure how many at-bats he'll get, but you would have to think he's play.
35 Mat Gamel MIL 3B B 7 hits and 5 BB in last 6 games. Will platoon (he hits LH) w/ Hall once interleague play is done.
37 Lou Marson PHI C B .250 with 1 HR in 128 at-bats is a huge disappointment, but is batting .342 over last 10 games.
46 Dee Gordon LAD SS B Tom's son can't be ignored (by me) any longer - elite leadoff skills - .372 OBP, 40 SB…465 in last 10 G.
49 Todd Frazier CIN OF B .324/.375/.496, but a 50.2 AB/HR ratio won't cut it for a corner OF.
2 Tommy Hanson ATL SP A Improving in each start and 12:10 K:BB will be the ratio to watch. NL
3 Madison Bumgarner SF SP A 7 ER and just 9 K in last 15 IP, so perhaps he's finally hitting a wall? NL
8 Jarrod Parker ARI SP A- Phew..only a wrist injury. He should be back in a week or so. NL
9 Tim Alderson SF SP A- 1.82 ERA and 34:4 K:BB in 7 GS since AA promotion.22nd overall pick in 2007. NL
12 Kyle Drabek PHI SP B+ 2.08 ERA in 4 GS since AA promotion and no BB in last start after 12:12 K:BB in first 3 GS. NL
