Prospects Report

I thought with a off day we take a look at the players on our prospects list...we have some good players coming up. But a couple of the players on our top 11 list are no longer prospects and maybe it is time to revise the list. But others we should have high hopes for.

Robinzon Diaz, C

	League	AVG	G	AB	R	H	2B	3B	HR	RBI	TB	BB	SO	SB	CS	OBP	SLG	OPS
SYR	INT	.286	16	56	3	16	2	1	1	7	23	3	5	0	1	.317	.411	.727
BLU	GCL	.563	5	16	5	9	1	0	1	6	13	0	0	0	0	.529	.813	1.342

He has is playing for the Gulf Coast Blue Jays rehabbing an ankle injury. His defense is good; he's a contact hitter with good speed for a catcher, how long that will last as a catcher is anyone's guess. Not likely to be a star but could be a good starting catcher till Arencibia passes him.

Travis Snider,OF

Team	League	AVG	G	AB	R	H	2B	3B	HR	RBI	TB	BB	SO	SB	CS	OBP	SLG	OPS
DUN	FSL	.279	17	61	15	17	5	0	4	7	34	5	22	1	0	.333	.557	.891
NHM	EAS	.270	66	248	40	67	11	0	11	45	111	30	84	1	0	.352	.448	.800

Is hitting pretty well in AA ball and has been named to the ‘North Division All-Star team'. Just 20 years old and in his second year of pro-ball, we might get to see him next season. A strong arm and decent range, Rios better find his stroke.

Brett Cecil,LHP

Team	League	W	L	ERA	G	GS	CG	SHO	SV	IP	H	R	ER	HR	BB	SO	GO/AO	AVG
DUN	FSL	0	0	1.74	4	4	0	0	0	10.1	6	2	2	1	2	11	5.33	.167
NHM	EAS	3	1	2.91	13	13	0	0	0	52.2	45	19	17	3	18	54	2.09	.230

21 and in AA, throws hard, gets strike outs. It is nice to see a Jay's prospect that can miss bats. If he keeps developing we could see in Toronto in late ‘09 or ‘10

Kevin Ahrens, 3B

Team	League	AVG	G	AB	R	H	2B	3B	HR	RBI	TB	BB	SO	SB	CS	OBP	SLG	OPS
LAN	MID	.271	71	277	39	75	17	5	1	29	105	25	74	3	0	.337	.379	.716

Ahrens is a 19 year old in A ball, for a player that young he's doing very well. He's a long ways away from the big leagues.

Johermyn Chavez, LF

Team	League	AVG	G	AB	R	H	2B	3B	HR	RBI	TB	BB	SO	SB	CS	OBP	SLG	OPS
LAN	MID	.198	68	242	25	48	11	0	5	22	74	18	74	5	1	.265	.306	.571

Another 19 year old in A ball. Young for the league so can ignore the less than thrilling stats. He's got a ways to go.

Justin Jackson,SS

Team	League	AVG	G	AB	R	H	2B	3B	HR	RBI	TB	BB	SO	SB	CS	OBP	SLG	OPS
LAN	MID	.226	70	252	45	57	13	3	4	29	88	39	87	11	5	.346	.349	.695

Yes another 19 year old in A ball. A good fielder has a good eye, some pop that should become more pop as he fills out and good speed. With luck we should have a really good SS in 3 years.

Ricky Romero, LHP

Team	League	W	L	ERA	G	GS	CG	SHO	SV	IP	H	R	ER	HR	BB	SO	GO/AO	AVG
NHM	EAS	4	5	5.99	16	16	0	0	0	88.2	113	61	59	8	41	61	1.72	.320

23 Year old in AA and not having an easy time of it. Hitters have a .320 BA against him and over 4 walks/9innings isn't great. I think his future is the bullpen if he wants a major league career. I think he's about ready to be removed from our prospects list,

JP Arencibia, C

Team	League	AVG	G	AB	R	H	2B	3B	HR	RBI	TB	BB	SO	SB	CS	OBP	SLG	OPS
DUN	FSL	.315	59	248	38	78	22	0	13	62	139	11	46	0	0	.344	.560	.904
NHM	EAS	.313	13	48	4	15	3	0	3	10	27	0	10	0	0	.313	.563	.875

22 year old catcher moved up to AA this year and is still raking....Diaz better watch out...JP will pass him if he's not careful. He is a much better hitting prospect than Diaz. Reputed to have a strong arm. A pull hitter, it would be nice to have a power hitter on the team.

David Purcey, LHP

Team	League	W	L	ERA	G	GS	CG	SHO	SV	IP	H	R	ER	HR	BB	SO	GO/AO	AVG
SYR	INT	6	6	2.97	16	16	0	0	0	97.0	78	37	32	8	33	100	1.08	.222

Pitching great in AAA, but he is 26 now and is getting a little old to be a prospect. If he was going to be a start he'd be in the majors by now. Maybe trade bait for someone in need of a starter now.

John Tolisano, 2b

Team	League	AVG	G	AB	R	H	2B	3B	HR	RBI	TB	BB	SO	SB	CS	OBP	SLG	OPS
LAN	MID	.271	75	269	41	73	14	7	3	30	110	35	55	5	2	.352	.409	.761

Another 19 year old, he is hitting great in A ball. Have to like his numbers across the boards....nice power, decent eye, some speed. Not a big guy 5'11'', 175, he's got some time to develop.

Scott Campbell, 2B

Team	League	AVG	G	AB	R	H	2B	3B	HR	RBI	TB	BB	SO	SB	CS	OBP	SLG	OPS
NHM	EAS	.341	72	267	46	91	15	2	4	28	122	43	38	2	5	.436	.457	.893

What's not to like....23 year old at AA, .341 average, great eye, some power. Is kind of too bad that we have so many middle infielders at the major league level, it would be nice to see while Hill is on the DL. From New Zealand, he's playing in the futures game for the ‘World' team.
