This is a snapshot of which top prospects are excelling and which ones are struggling right now. Stats cover the period from July 15-21. Contributing: Ben Badler, J.J. Cooper, Kyle Dugan, Matt Eddy, Michael Kanen and Jim Shonerd.

Bryce Harper RF Nationals Jared Mitchell CF White Sox. Cory Spangenberg 2B Padres. MAN AMONG BOYS Drew Granier RHP Athletics BLAST FROM THE PAST Luis Mendoza HELIUM WATCH Marco Hernandez ss Cubs ========================================= No. 1 RYAN LAVARNWAY C/DH RED SOX Team: Triple-A Pawtucket (International) Age: 23 Why He's Here: .481/.548/1.696 (13-for-27), 5 HR, 3 2B, 11 RBIs, 9 R, 4 BB, 5 SO, 0-for-1 SB The Scoop: At this point, about the only thing that could prevent Lavarnway from adding "30-homer catcher" to résumé would be a big league callup. But since that probably will have to wait until September, he'll have time to add to his total of 26 homers, which he's distributed evenly at the Double-A (14 in 239 plate appearances) and Triple-A (12 in 146 PAs) levels. Lavarnway has hit .377/.445/.746 in 34 games since his promotion to Pawtucket, during which time he's been not only the hottest hitter in Triple-A, but also one of the top performers in the minors. In the three weeks since July 1, only high Class A Stockton's Michael Choice has a higher OPS than Lavarnway's 1.338 mark. That's a .414/.481/.857 batting line that includes 15 extra-base hits in 19 games for a man who dons catcher's gear in half of his appearances. No. 2 WILIN ROSARIO C ROCKIES Team: Double-A Tulsa (Texas) Age: 22 Why He's Here: .450/.542/1.050 (9-for-20), 4 HR, 7 RBIs, 8 R, 4 BB, 4 SO The Scoop: Combine Rosario's two half-seasons at Double-A and you've got a .272/.322/.514 hitter with 35 homers and 22 doubles in 551 at-bats. In that time, he's gunned down and above-average 38 percent of 132 would-be basethiefs. Rosario's raw tools suggest that the power and arm strength he's shown with Tulsa are very real, and it's easy to see why scouts project him to be an above-average regular at the big league level, possibly as soon as next season. One caveat: Rosario has mashed 12 of 16 homers this season versus Texas League righthanders, but he's also gone just 43-for-192 (.224) against them. No. 3 JULIO RODRIGUEZ RHP PHILLIES Team: high Class A Clearwater (Phillies) Age: 20 Why He's Here: 2-0, 1.29, 2 GS, 14 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 16 SO The Scoop: A bit lost in the shuffle as part of a stacked Clearwater rotation, Rodriguez leads the Florida State League with 12 wins and a .189 opponent average. He's not far off the pace in terms of strikeouts (106, third) or WHIP (1.08, third). Rodriguez has a lot of deception in his motion, which has helped him to dominate righthanded batters this year (3.88 strikeout-to-walk ratio), but his work against lefties is significantly less stellar (1.38 ratio). However, few batters seem to square up Rodriguez with regularity and, consequently, his rate of 5.9 hits per nine innings ranks first among qualified FSL starters. While the raw stuff won't blow you away (he pitches mostly in the high 80s), he's been able to use every morsel of it to produce results. No. 4 JOHNNY GIAVOTELLA 2B ROYALS Team: Triple-A Omaha (Pacific Coast) Age: 24 Why He's Here: .500/.533/.786 (14-for-28), 2 2B, 2 HR, 8 R, 3 RBIs, 2 BB, 3 SO The Scoop: As the Royals start shedding pieces in their annual trade deadline swap meet, it's about time to let Giavotella show what he can do in the big leagues. Yet another in a long line of short second baseman, the stocky Giavotella has hit .401 since June 1. He's not a slam dunk as a long-term big league regular because second base always will be a challenge for him defensively. He must emphasize conditioning and agility work to just be adequate at the position, especially on balls hit to his right. But the New Orleans product can catch up to almost anyone's fastball at the plate, and he rarely gets himself out. With Christian Colon's struggles this season, there now exists a window of opportunity for Giavotella to claim the job. The Royals' current second baseman, Chris Getz (.256/.312/.285 this season), isn't much of an obstacle. No. 5 CHIH-HSIEN CHIANG RF RED SOX Team: Double-A Portland (Eastern) Age: 23 Why He's Here: .448/.515/.897 (13-for-29), 4 2B, 3 HR, 8 RBIs, 10 R, 1 BB, 3 SO, 1-for-1 SB The Scoop: Chiang represents another piece of evidence that it's generally wise to not write prospects off too quickly. Coming into the season, there wasn't a whole lot to be excited about when watching the erstwhile second baseman make the transition to the outfield. Chiang, a native of Taiwan, had struggled at the plate in 2009 and 2010 and generally did nothing to show he had even one plus tool. But in the offseason, the Red Sox hired a Chinese-speaking nurtitionist who helped Chiang get a better handle on his Type 1 diabetes (as BA correspondent Alex Speier explained). The results are striking. With his blood-sugar levels under control, Chiang has kick-started his career to the extent that he earned a spot on the Futures Game roster. He's hitting for more power and has stopped giving away at-bats, and now he's a prospect again. He's slugging .648 this year, and if that translates at the higher levels, then he'll have enough power to handle a corner-outfield spot. ================ Bryce Harper RF Nationals So Bryce Harper is human after all. Baseball's No. 1 prospect destroyed the low Class A South Atlantic League by posting a .977 OPS to go with 14 homers in 72 games, but a two-level jump to Double-A Harrisburg has brought on Harper's first extended slump. He went 2-for-23 (both singles) with six strikeouts this week, and his Double-A batting line has slipped to .175/.250/.175. Expectations are monumentally high for Harper, but keep in mind the fact that he's still 19 years old. 觀看全文請自行點選網址 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.45.176.46
