40 Michael Saunders SEA OF B .271 with no HR and 14:3 K:BB in 48 at-bats. Playing just about every day.
41 Lou Marson CLE C B .276 in 8 games since trade to Cleveland. Not sure where he fits w/ Santana in the fold.
43 Lonnie Chisenhall CLE 3B B .838 OPS in High-A gets him the AA promotion. 18 HR on the year.
45 Jared Mitchell CHW OF B Cooled off considerably after a hot start. 0 HR and .885 OPS in 62 at-bats.
50 Ryan Westmoreland BOS OF B .863 OPS with 6 HR and 14 SB in 167 AB. Not bad for a 6th round pick.
34 Dan Hudson CHW SP B One guy Kenny Williams held onto. Has mowed through three levels now to get to AAA.
38 Trevor Reckling LAA SP B Last 3 GS: 2 ER in 20 IP with a 20:10 K:BB, so he's still very good, but walks far too many.
46 Danny Duffy KC SP B Hasn't pitched in 2 weeks. Not sure why, but allowed 4 ER in 3 1/3 IP in last outing.
49 Matt Hobgood BAL SP B Obviously a ways off, but No. 5 overall pick of course has excellent upside.
50 Scott Barnes CLE SP B 2.13 ERA in 3 GS for his new org. Garko/Barnes was a nice deal for the Tribe.

1 Jason Heyward ATL OF A .411/.492/.729 with 12:17 K:BB in 107 at-bats in AA. Also just turned 20. Incredible.
2 Buster Posey SF C A Slow start in AAA, but picking things up with a .333 AVG in August. .943 OPS for the season.
4 Pedro Alvarez PIT 3B A THIS is what we were waiting for: .447 in last 10 games and .320/.389/.558 in AA.
5 Cameron Maybin FLA OF A .328/.415/.471. Still developing skills and power, but he could have an impact right now.
6 Mike Stanton FLA OF A Just .235 in AA. Power still there, but 66% CT% is the major concern.
15 Jon Niese NYM SP B+ Mets curse continues as he's out for the year with a torn hamstring. Tough break
.
19 Christian Friedrich COL SP B+ Uh yeah he's good. Last 3 GS: 16 2/3 IP, 9 H, 1 ER, 6 BB, and….32 strikeouts. Wow.
20 Ethan Martin LAD SP B+ 4.13 ERA and 100:51 K:BB in 85 IP for a teenager in full-season ball = excellent.
22 Jordan Lyles HOU SP B+ Hit and miss lately, but overall, a very nice 139:32 K:BB in 117 2/3 IP.
23 Julio Teheran ATL SP B 2.68 ERA in 7 GS in rookie ball gets him the promotion to Low-A. 5-5-4-4-1-8 in SAL league debut.
