8 Jason Kipnis CLE 2B A- HR binge was a very nice surprise. Should be able to stick around for quite some time.
9 Brett Lawrie TOR 2B A- Start to MLB career couldn't be going any better. Have to like what Jays are doing this year.
11 Michael Choice OAK OF A- 2 week DL stint and then a HR in 2nd game back. .968 OPS and really time for AA.
43 Michael Taylor OAK OF B .423 in August and seemingly earning back his prospect status with each game.
45 Willie Middlebrooks BOS 3B B .302 with 6 HR in July and .875 OPS overall. Not sure where he fits in Boston.
29 Deck McGuire TOR SP B 4.82 ERA in 3 AA starts, but also 19 K in 18.2 innings.
41 Zach Stewart CHW SP B 1 ER in 6.1 innings in first start for the White Sox. May not stick around too long though.
42 Andrew Oliver DET SP B 5.97 ERA in last 5 starts but also a 33:13 K:BB in those 28.2 innings.
44 Neil Ramirez TEX SP B Back after dealing with shoulder stiffness. 2.1 innings, 3:2 K:BB in first outing back.
49 James Paxton SEA SP B 2010 4th rounder shining in pro debut - 2.45 ERA, 12.4 K/9 while skipping High-A.

17 Billy Hamilton CIN SS B+ .333 with 20 SB in July and has a four-hit game in August. SB count: 78 in 94 attempts.
18 Yasmani Grandal CIN C B+ Just .266 in July, so he's still adjusting to AA. Not sure who the best Reds C prospect is.
21 Jose Altuve HOU 2B B+ .328 through 61 at-bats, but no HR or SB, so fantasy upside limited for now.
38 Zack Cox STL 3B B 3 HR in July was a plus and 14-for-30 to start August isn't bad either.
40 Jedd Gyorko SD 3B B .693 OPS in AA, so don't expect to see him this year or perhaps next.
10 Tyler Skaggs ARI SP B+ 24.2 AA innings have been impressive - 33:9 K:BB and impressive 11.3 K/9 overall.
12 Matt Harvey NYM SP B+ 42:11 K:BB in 34.2 AA innings and really just one bad AA start.
13 Zack Wheeler NYM SP B+ 11:0 K:BB In 10 innings for his new team. 109:47 K:BB in 98 innings overall.
15 Arodyz Vizcaino ATL SP B+ Working out of the bullpen to limit innings after injuries last year. Long term he's a starter.
16 Carlos Martinez STL SP B+ 5.23 ERA in 7 AA starts. Control the real issue with 32:19 K:BB in 32.2 innings.
