He is batting .277 with 12 home runs and batted .297 with
27 home runs in '08. Astros' need a 3B.
Jordan Brown - 1B - Indians
He is batting .330 with 7 home runs. THe Indians are crowded
at first base, but watch his name if trades should occur.
He can bat .300 and hit around 20 HR's.
Jesus Guzman - 3B - Giants
He is batting .370 with 7 home runs in AAA Fresno. He will
likely only get a call due to injury or as a backup, but
if he can play shortstop and second base in addition to
third base, he could have a shot at the Giants starting
lineup by season's end.
Brendan Katin - OF - Brewers
The 26-year-old slugger is batting .255 with 20 home runs
and 78 RBI's in AAA Nashville.
Allen Craig - 1B/3B - Cardinals
He has is about as good as Freese, but is about a year
behind. In AAA Memphis he batted .322 and hit 26 home runs
with 472 at bats in 2009. Finding a place to start will
be his problem, thus he is not draftable in most leagues.
but keep an eye him in NL-only and as the season goes.
The big propspect is off to a solid start at 3-3 with a
3.31 ERA, but has yet to dominate as promised.
Yorman Bazardo - Astros
He is 9-4 with a 2.76 ERA & 71 K's in 124 innings in
2009. At 25 he is primed for a call-up.
Casey Kelly - Red Sox
The converted shortstop is mow a big strong pitcher with
a flaming fastball and is getting better fast. Keep on eye
on him in late 2010.
Andrew Carpenter - Phillies
8-2 with a 2.75 ERA and 84 strikeouts in 108 innings pitched.
The 24-year-old has pitched 6.2 innings in the Bigs and
will likely get another call soon
