22 Ben Revere MIN OF B+ Just .222 in June after a .388 May, but did have 3 hits on Tuesday, so perhaps a surge?
26 Chris Carter OAK 1B B+ .321 with 3 HR in June but 28.3 AB/HR vs. last year's 13.0 mark.
43 Josh Reddick BOS OF B Missed nearly 8 wks with oblique injury but he's back and has .898 OPS for the year.
47 Jemile Weeks OAK 2B B Rickie's brother is batting a strong .361/.466/.590 and should be on the fast track.
49 David Cooper TOR 1B B Just .156 in last 10 games and for the year, a devilish .666 OPS.
6 Brian Matusz BAL SP A- 2.16 ERA and hasn't allowed a run in his last 3 GS. Ready for AA.
7 Chris Tillman BAL SP A- Groin not an issue. 15 K over 11 IP in his last 2 GS and a 2.33 ERA on the year.
10 Wade Davis TAM SP A- 24:4 K:BB in 18 IP in June is the surge we've been waiting all year for. Sustainable? Probably.
11 Jake Arrieta BAL SP B+ 6-2-1-1-0-6 in his first AAA start. Look for a September audition and possible Apr '10 rotation job.
12 Michael Bowden BOS SP B+ K/9 rate down from 8.1 to
5.8 this year, but still has a 2.42 ERA.

23 Logan Morrison FLA 1B B+ Missed 2 mo. with wrist injury but back and 6-for-21 since his return.
24 Brett Wallace STL 3B B+ Just .241 in 112 ab so far in AAA with 2 HR, so may not see him until mid-2010 at this rate.
28 Dominic Brown PHI OF B+ Just .167 in June, though he does have 3 HR. For the year: .919 OPS and 14 SB.
29 Andrew Lambo LAD OF B+ Still scuffling - just 2 HR since April and a .264/.319/.417 line. Keep age in mind.
33 Brett Lawrie MIL 2B B .344 OBP with 8 HR and 11 SB and he was born in 1990.
36 Josh Lindblom LAD SP B 2 bad outings out of 12 leaves ERA at 4.28, but have to like a 40:8 K:BB.
37 Kris Medlen ATL SP B Now in the pen with Hanson in the rotation and Medlan is struggling. AAA soon?
43 Brad Lincoln PIT SP B 3 ER or less in all 12 GS this year with a 2.20 ERA and 63:16 K:BB in 69 2/3 innings.
46 Drew Storen WAS RP B Rumor has '09 #10 overall pick being converted to rotation. Looks like a good pick for Nats.
47 Eric Arnett MIL SP B Workhorse just needs to tighten his command and improve changeup. #26 overall pick in '09.
