Prospect Update: The 21-24 year old Crop



Roy Merritt – RP/CL – AA – 23-years old - a blown-save on July 12, 0.1-IP, 2-ER, ERA now up to 3.76… Merritt needs to turn this season around quickly if he wants a September call-up. I have removed him from my 2010 crop.

Brandon Moore – SP – low-A – 23/yrs. old – July 15: 8.0-IP, 2-ER, 9-K, 1-BB, 0.87… buy, are they holding this guy back… he’s 9-1 over the past two years and he’s still not on a full season team. Expect for him to go straight to Lucy next spring. Think Brad Holt v2.0.

Mike Antonini – RP – B-Mets: - 23-yrs. old – July 12: 1.2-IP, 3-ER… July 16: another bad outing… 2.0-IP, 2-ER… 5.99 ERA… it’s not working this year for Mike and I hope the Mets just shut him down and let him rest, then send him to Hawaii… this will probably be the last time you see him onthis list for the season... sorry I gave you that ball, Mike (private story...)

Michael Powers – RP – Brooklyn – 23-yrs. old – save #4 mopping up Moore on July 15: 1.0-IP, 1-ER, 1-K, ERA to 1.74…

Marcos Tabata – RP – GCL – 23-yrs. old - an excellent outing on July 11: 2.0-IP, 0-ER, 2nd save… 0.96…

Eddie Kunz – RP – AAA – 23-yrs. old – Kunz continued uninspired relief, giving up one run in 1.0-IP on July 12… coming off the prospect list this week
Dillon Gee – SP – AAA – 23-yrs. old - still on DL
Jimmy Johnson – RP – A+ - 23-yrs. old – didn’t pitch last week
Brad Holt - SP – AA – 22/yrs. old – July 13: 7.0-IP, 4-H, 0-R, 7-K, 1-BB

Ike Davis – 1B – AA – 22/yrs. old - very productive day July 12, 3-6, all singles, 2-RBI…

Sean Ratliff – OF – Gnats – 22-yrs. old – RISP: .297
Josh Thole – C – AA – 22-yrs. old – on DL
Scott Shaw – SP – A+ - 22-yrs. old – good outing on July 12: 8.0-IP, 2-ER, 7-K, 2-BB…

Eric Beaulac – SP – A – 22-yrs. old – July 13: 8.0-IP, 3-ER, 7-K…ERA last ten games: 2.27

Rhiner Cruz – CL – Gnats – 22-yrs old - July 14: 1.0-IP, 0-R. 16-Sv… July 17: 1.0-IP, 0-R, 17-SV… 17 saves in 17 opportunities…

Brandon Sage – RP – Clones – 22-yrs old – didn’t pitch this past week

James Fuller - RP – Clones – 22/yrs old – July 16: 6.0-IP, 9-K, 2-ER, 1.45… very little support in this game… K/IP so far this season: 34/31.0… Fuller will easily make Savannah next year, and possibly straight to Lucy.
Bobby Gagg – RP – GCL – 22-yrs. old – promoted to Kingsport… July 13: 1.0-IP, 0-ER, 0.00
Nestor Moreno – C – VSL – 21-yrs. old - As of July 13 – league rank: Nestor Moreno is leading the league in hitting (.354), 3rd in hits (58), tied for 5th in doubles (12), 12th in total bases (73), 4th in OBP (.414), 13th in SLG (.445), and 10th in OPS (.859)… played first base on July 14, went 3-5…
