a good thing."

Bryan Smith, Baseball Analysts,
begins a team-by-team look at the minor league systems :
" ... Cleveland - Simply put, no system has had a
jump in 2006 like the Indians, thanks to three equally surprising breakouts.
While Andy Marte was brought in during the off season to be the future at the
hot corner, Kevin Kouzmanoff has made things interesting. After nearly
hitting .400 in the Eastern League, Kouzmanoff has continued to flourish since
replacing Marte in the Buffalo lineup. Next spring's position battle promises to
be one of the year's best. Brian Barton is the ultimate draft day
faux pas story, and looking more and more like a legit prospect with each swing
in AA. Finally, Chuck Lofgren went from the athletic southpaw with
an intriguing upside to a polished pitching prospect worth the Indians delicate
touch."
" ... Chicago - A no-doubter: Josh Fields. What
looked like a stretch on draft day looked even worse last season, as Fields
couldn't help drawing comparisons to Drew Henson with his long, contact-averse
swing. However things clicked for Fields in the winter, and he's been one of the
best hitters in the International League in 2006. Problem for Fields is that Joe
Crede has been just as good in the Majors, making his .315/.389/.526 line look
only moderately appealing. Most shocking, Fields has still not really sunk his
teeth into a new position, as Scott Podsednik's seemingly-forthcoming exit would
usually open a hole for a hitter of Fields' caliber."
Hope the MLB time doesn't result in a significant setback :
" ... Mike Pelfrey has been placed on the
disabled list in the minors with a strained right lat muscle and has been
scratched from tonight's start. The 2005 first-round pick had made one start
with Triple-A Norfolk since being demoted, giving up two runs and three hits in
five innings." (New York Daily News)
3B Matt Antonelli fitting in nicely in the SD system :
" ... There was plenty for the Padres to
like about Antonelli, who batted .333 with 11 home runs and 38 RBIs as a junior
at Wake Forest in the spring ... Yet the statistic that probably impressed
San Diego executives the most was the school record of 128 walks that Antonelli
compiled during only three years at the school ... San Diego vice
president of scouting and player development Grady Fuson has brought a hitting
program to the organization that targets walks, home runs, and runs scored and
the correlation between those three things. In addition, on-base percentage is
important as the program is designed to train hitters how to get the best pitch
to hit or accept a walk if no such pitch is thrown. Antonelli fit that mold in
college and has carried it over to the pros as he currently ranks second in the
Northwest League with a .429 on-base percentage. "I like the way his at-bats
go," Eugene manager Doug Dascenzo said. "I think he's very knowledgeable about
plate discipline. He's a contact hitter with very good knowledge of the zone."
... "I'm usually a patient hitter," Antonelli said. "I look at a lot of
pitches and get a lot of walks, so that helps. I don't think it really changes
much when you change levels as long as you are patient and get a good pitch to
hit and take the walk when it is there." (Eugene Register-Guard)
Royals' prospect notes in a weekly report from the Kansas City Star :
" ... 1. 3B Alex Gordon, Class
AA Wichita: Batting .345 with 11 homers and 40 RBIs in 36 games since July 1."
" ... 3. RHP Luke Hochevar, Class A Burlington: On track to
make his first start Wednesday after completing conditioning workouts in
Arizona."
" ... Wichita RHP Zack Greinke is 2-0 in his last three starts while
allowing two runs in 20 innings. He also has 23 strikeouts and one walk in that
span.
Omaha 2B Jeff Keppinger is batting .402 in 20 games since
arriving from Mets in trade for Ruben Gotay.
High Desert RHP Luis Cota recorded back-to-back quality starts for
the first time since early June."
Evan Longoria on the fast track to TB :
" ... Longoria, the Rays' No. 1
selection (third overall) in the June amateur draft ... already is in his
second week with the Double-A Montgomery Biscuits after barely a month at
Single-A Visalia. "Most people feel like Double-A is the real proving ground,"
said Gerry Hunsicker, Rays senior vice president of baseball operations ...
"This is as aggressive a track as I've ever had a player on. But you can't get
too carried away with this promotion. I still believe that you've got to be very
careful not to cheat the development process." So a September call-up when the
rosters expand "would be a long shot at best." ... Hunsicker said Longoria
will bypass fall and winter leagues and probably will start 2007 in Double-A
rather than with the Triple-A Durham Bulls ... Two weeks after signing a $3
million contract on draft day, Longoria debuted with Hudson Valley of the
short-season New York-Penn League. In eight games (33 at-bats) he hit .424 with
four home runs and 11 RBIs. "He had that special something about him that
separated him from the other guys," Renegades manager Matt Quatraro said.
"Besides the obvious talent, there was a maturity. And he was into every play of
every game, wanted to work every day." ... advanced to Visalia in the
California League. In 28 games (110 at-bats) he hit .327 with eight home runs
and 28 RBIs ... On Aug. 3, Longoria moved to Double-A." (Tampa

Jim Callis,
Baseball America, on Cole Hamels vs Jeremy Sowers :
" ... Hamels clearly has
better stuff. His changeup is one of the best in the game and a lot better than
Sowers'. Hamels also has 2-3 mph more velocity on his fastball and their
breaking balls are comparable. ERAs aside, big league hitters have had a tougher
time figuring out Hamels (.247 average, 11 homers, 87-32 K-BB ratio in 76
innings) than Sowers (.256, nine homers, 22-9 K-BB ratio in 53 innings).
However, there's more to pitching than stuff. Sowers has uncanny
command for a young lefthander, and it's a grade or two better than Hamels'.
Sowers has a spotless medical record, while Hamels has missed time with injuries
in each of his four pro seasons. He had shoulder, triceps and back ailments in
the minors, and he spent two weeks on the big league disabled list this year
with a strained shoulder. The safer pick would be Sowers. I don't think he'll be
a star, but I do think he'll be a reliable, durable No. 3 starter. The
higher-risk, higher-reward pick would be Hamels, who has a chance to be a
frontline starter if he stays healthy. I gave Hamels a slight edge before the
season, and I'd still do the same now. Call me a sucker for upside."
Drugs. If you haven't already, time to cut ties with Jeff
Allision FLO. Another sad tale of the tenacious hold of drugs.

... Allison was taken to Winchester Hospital and released the same day,
according to friends and witnesses." (Boston Globe)
Notes from the International League :
" ... Infielder Kevin
Kouzmanoff was held hitless in back-to-back games only once in 67 games with
Double-A Akron to start the season. So far with the Herd, he doesn't even know
how to be held off the bases at all. Kouzmanoff has hit in his first eight games
at the Triple-A level, with a .313 (10-32) average, three doubles, four home
runs and six RBI. Combined with his time in Akron, he is hitting .380 (105-276)
with 19 home runs and 61 RBI."
" ... SkyChiefs pitcher Josh
Banks has allowed 32 HR this season breaking the modern franchise record
of 29 set by Jackson Todd in 1982."
" ... Kevin Witt now has 12 more
homers than anyone else in the IL. Witt not only has a League-high 33 homers,
but an IL-best 92 RBI (16 ahead of anyone), 60 extra-base hits, and a .596
slugging percentage."
" ... Outfielder Jason
Dubois has homered four times in his last five games. On August 5 against
Norfolk, he hit a pair of blasts including one off the batter's eye in straight
away center. An RBI-machine, Dubois has driven in 28 runs in his last 19 games.
On the year, Dubois leads the Bisons with 20 home runs (T-3rd in the IL), 79 RBI
(2nd in the IL) and a .500 slugging percentage (4th in the IL)."

Angels' righty making a huge impression in California :
" ... Ryan Klesko didn't know a thing about
Angels top pitching prospect Nick Adenhart. What he learned Tuesday
didn't dispute the 19-year-old right-hander's place among the top prospects in
the game. Adenhart fanned nine batters over seven shutout innings - including a
rehabbing Klesko on a biting, 12-to-6 curve ... "He's got three quality
pitches. He's definitely got big league stuff.'' Mixing a 95 mph fastball with
his changeup and curve, Adenhart scattered three hits and a walk and allowed one
runner to advance past first base, when Klesko doubled to start the seventh. But
Adenart (5-1) retired the final three outs of the inning ... and exited
the game with a performance on par with his season-best 10-strikeout performance
at Modesto on Thursday. "He's got good makeup and good command of his pitches,''
Quakes manager Bobby Mitchell said. "When he gets in trouble, he can turn it up
a notch with some nasty pitches.'' (Ontario
Daily Bulletin)
Dodger kid gets to enjoy MLB meal money likely for the rest of the season :
" ... James Loney, the
rookie who was leading the Pacific Coast League with a .372 average when he was
recalled July 29, isn't going back to Triple-A Las Vegas anytime soon. Manager
Grady Little is expected to be extremely cautious with Garciaparra, who is
coming back from a sprained right knee, so Loney still will get time at first
base. Meanwhile, Loney spent a large part of batting practice on Tuesday taking
flyballs in the outfield, where he occasionally played during his minor-league
career and where Little plans to use him some during the final two months of the
s eason. "I like it out there," said Loney, a stellar defensive first baseman.
"It's fun. It gives you a different angle on the game. And the idea is that I'll
be able to play another position, so that should help." (LA Daily
News)
Nate Stephens, RotoWorld, on Alberto Callaspo ARZ :
" ... The 23 year-old switch-hitter entered
the season with a .310 career batting average in the minors, and hes always
been a good defender with plus speed and great control of the strike zone.
Callaspo entered the season a fine prospect, but hes raised his stock by
batting an impressive .339/.406/.474 with a fantastic 23/51 K/BB ratio and seven
steals in 12 tries ... Putting the ball in play so often should allow him to hit
.300 at the major league level as well, although it probably wont come with
much power ... With Orlando Hudson and Stephen Drew both playing well and
under contract, Callaspo isnt really in a better situation than he was with the
Angels. A trade this off-season could only help his playing time situation, but
the Diamondbacks may like him as a good utility player."
Former top prospect back on the shelf :
" ... Outfielder Josh Hamilton,
returning after a four-year absence due to injury and drug problems, is expected
to have arthroscopic surgery on his left knee ... during a visit to Dr. James
Andrews that will end his comeback season after 15 games. The Rays haven't
decided whether to have Hamilton play winter ball." (St. Petersburg Times)

Bryan Smith, Baseball Analysts,
reviews his pre-season sleeper picks. Among them :
" ... Reid Brignac
... is now a highly-valued middle infield prospect. While the Cal League
surely boosted his numbers, Brignac has good power and will hit at the next
level. Raw defensively, he might not end up at short, but he is athletic enough
to improve."
" ... Adam Lind ...
Doubles in the Florida State League turn to home runs in the Eastern League. It
seemed too easy a statement to hold up, but it did this season, as Lind proved
he had middle-of-the-order power. His defensive profile, or lack thereof, will
hold him back as a prospect, but Lind is one of the minors better pure hitters.
If Carlos Lee became manageable in left field, Lind can do the same; he'll be
ready by next summer."
" ... Chuck Lofgren ...
showed a lot of potential last year, and with his athletic profile and good
stuff, looked ready to blossom in 2006. He's done just that with Kinston this
season, as he's currently tied for the minor league wins lead. Lofgren is no
future ace, but he'll be very valuable in the middle of a rotation."
David Regan, RotoAmerica,
has begun a little-passed mid-season update of his Top 100. The bottom 25 the
first up.
" ... 77. Travis Buck,
OF, OAK Typical As prospect high average, lots of walks,
average-at-best power. Still, has the potential to be a solid regular by 2008."
" ... 87. Fernando Martinez,
OF, NYM Anyone hitting .331/.385/.485 in Low-A is impressive. A 17 year-old
doing it is even more impressive. Great upside, but obviously has a lot to prove
at the upper levels."
" ... 88. Sean Rodriguez,
SS, LAA Could wind up with 30 HR, 45 doubles, and 20 steals. Sure its the CAL
and its not likely hell be able to stay at shortstop with his defense and the
guys ahead of him, but hes still had a nice year and is just 21."
" ... 100. Jake McGee,
LHP, TB 140 K in 113 innings in Low-A? Thats enough for me to sneak him onto
this list."

The Prospect Hot Sheet at Baseball America presents yet another new face
atop the chart. Adam Miller CLE takes the No. 1 slot in the latest
weekly report :
" ... You have to go back to June
26 to find the last time Miller took a loss, and while he gave up five earned
runs in that outing, he hasn't allowed more than one run over his last six
starts. Back that up with a pair of 11-strikeout performances the last two times
he took the mound, and that equals the hottest of the hot this week. Miller's
velocity has ranged anywhere from 92 to 97 mph, his hard-breaking slider is
sliding again and he's using his changeup more effectively than ever
before--throwing it at will in any count."
" ... 3. Chris Volstad [FLO] ...
After a disastrous May in which he went 1-4, 5.94, the first high school pitcher
drafted in 2005 has been spectacular, particularly since July 1. In that time,
he is 4-0, 1.47 in 31 innings and has lowered his ERA to 3.28, which ranks
eighth in the SAL."
" ... 7. Deolis Guerra [NYN] ..
As the season goes on, it becomes harder to believe that this guy was born in
1989. After an 11-strikeout gem Sunday night, Guerra has allowed just two earned
runs over his last three starts. Since June 1, he has a 2.06 ERA in 66 innings
with a 51-19 strikeout-walk ratio."
A salute to Players / Pitchers of the Week :
" ... Lance Broadway [CHA]
... Southern League Pitcher of the Week... Broadway, a 6'3",
190-lb. right-hander ... 13.0 combined innings on the mound, Broadway
struck out 10 while allowing just two earned runs ... surrendered just one
base on balls last week while improving his season record to 8-7 ... currently
ranked third and fourth in the Southern League, respectively, in innings pitched
(142.1) and ERA (2.72) ... Selected in the first round (15th overall) of the
2005 First-Year Player Draft." (Birmingham Barons)
" ... J.R. House [HOU] ... posted a
.556 batting average, slugged five doubles, and knocked in 11 runs en route to
being tabbed as the PCL's Batter of the Week just ten days after being promoted
to Triple-A ... Hong-Chih Kuo [LAD] was selected
as the PCL Pitcher of the Week after pitching ten scoreless innings and striking
out ten batters in two appearances ... House has hit safely in eight of the nine
games he has appeared in this season for the Express and has collected multiple
hits on six occasions ... Hong-Chih Kuo picked up a win and had two near
identical performances during his award winning week." (Pacific
Coast League)
" ... Zach Segovia, a
right-handed starting pitcher for the Reading Phillies, is the Eastern League's
Pitcher of the Week ... The 23-year old made two starts for the R-Phils last
week and was 2-0 with a 1.20 ERA ... Zach, who has a Minor League-best 15
wins this season between Class-A Clearwater and Reading, was selected by the
Philadelphia Phillies in the second round of the June 2002." (Eastern
League)
" ... Florida State League David
Winfree [MIN] ... collected 13 hits on the week, an explosion of
offense that increased his average from .246 to .285. Better yet, he homered in
three straight games ... After struggling through July with a .238 mark, Winfree
is hitting .440 in the month of August." (MiLB.com)
" ... Northwest League Cyle Hankerd
[ARZ] ... began the week with a sparkling .335 average, and still managed
to raise it 35 points over the next six games. The 21-year-old's huge week
propelled him into the top spot for the Northwest League batting title."
(MiLB.com)
" ... Appalachian League Travis
Snider [TOR] ... went yard three times on the week, and hit safely in
five of the six games he played ... 18-year-old ... " (MiLB.com)
" ... Appalachian League Jamie Richmond
[ATL] ... continues to dominate the Appalachian League, as the 20-year-old
Canadian hurled 9 1/3 scoreless innings over two starts this week to lower his
ERA to a microscopic 0.74 ... Richmond is 7-0 on the season, and he leads
the league in ERA and victories." (MiLB.com)
John Sickels, MinorLeagueBall,
compares Nick Adenhart LAA and Brandon Erbe BAL :
" ... Adenhart ... started off in the Midwest
League this year, going 10-2, 1.95 in 16 starts with a 99/26 K/BB ratio in 106
innings. Promoted to the California League, he is now 4-1, 3.76 in seven starts,
with a 36/13 K/BB in 41 innings. He has a good feel for pitching compared to
most young power arms, and is not just a pure thrower. Erbe
... pitching
for Delmarva in the Sally League, going 5-8, 3.47 in 22 starts with a 120/34
K/BB in 99 innings. He's slumped a bit as the summer has worn on, but his
component ratios are excellent. Erbe also has a good feel for pitching and
doesn't just throw the ball past people ... I rate Adenhart with
a slight advantage in background and performance, Erbe with an advantage in
projection, and the two pitchers even in physicality. All in all, it comes out
with Adenhart a bit ahead. Both of them are premium pitching prospects with very
bright futures."
