American League
2 Mike Trout LAA OF A 12 hits in last 7 G, so he's heating back up. More power to come. 51 SB.
3 Desmond Jennings TB OF A 6'2", 200 (listed), so have to think power will continue to develop. Leadoff potential in 2011.
4 Mike Moustakas KC 3B A Just .248 in 117 AAA at-bats with 2 BB, but also just 14 K, so some those balls will start dropping.
5 Jesus Montero NYY C A .363 with 7 HR and 21:18 K:BB in last 30 games. Look for him to split C/DH with Posada next year.
7 Eric Hosmer KC 1B A- Power is taking off…9 HR in 97 AA at-bats. 9.79 OPS, 1.00 EYE, and even 13 SB.
1 Jeremy Hellickson TB SP A Back-to-back very good starts, so he's making things interesting once Davis and Niemann are healthy.
4 Kyle Drabek TOR SP A 1 ER and 15:3 K:BB over last 3 GS (18 IP). Should break camp with club next year.
5 Mike Montgomery KC SP A 3.2 IP, 1 ER in first start back in AA. Cautious approach is wise with his elbow issues.
6 Jacob Turner DET SP A- Missing fewer bats in A+…not sure he take a Porcello-like ascent, and that might not be a bad thing.
9 Kyle Gibson MIN SP A- 1.64 ERA over last four starts. Reminds some of ex-Twin great Brad Radke.
National League
1 Domonic Brown PHI OF A Probably AAA-bound soon - 31 ab, no walks, .226 AVG, Victorino returning.
6 Freddie Freeman ATL 1B A- .373 with 5 HR in 83 at-bats since the break to prompt call-up speculation.
12 Donavan Tate SD OF A- 40 K in 88 at-bats points to how raw he is. 35% of hits for XB's.
14 Brett Lawrie MIL 2B B+ 7 XBH in 102 ab last month, already 8 in 42 at-bats this month to go with .357 AVG.
15 Brett Jackson CHC OF B+ .310/.416/.508 and 2 HR in last 7 G. Solid 39% XBH% and 24 SB.
2 Julio Teheran ATL SP A 5 ER in AA debut…zero in next two starts. 138:33 K:BB in 119 IP overall for this stud.
3 Jordan Lyles HOU SP A 19 year old becomes youngest pitcher in AAA…door also open for 2010 big league debut.
8 Aroldis Chapman CIN SP A- 13.9 K/9 as a reliever, but future lies in a big league rotation. Just not this year.
10 Mike Minor ATL SP A- 6 IP, 3 ER with 5:1 K:BB in debut. Could stick around the rest of the year.
12 Shelby Miller STL SP A- Rolling along nicely and then this: 5-9-7-6-3-8. Last # nice, middles #s not so much. Wouldn't worry here.
