7 Mike Stanton FLA OF A Apparently he's feared - 0.31 EYE in AA last year, 1.08 in 2010 plus 1.055 OPS.
14 Dee Gordon LAD SS A- .341, but just 1 BB in 10 games. Raw, but jump right over High-A says org loves him.
15 Logan Morrison FLA 1B A- Strong start in AAA (.368, HR, 2:3 K:BB in 19 ab) will need to continue for him to see FLA in '10.
16 Starlin Castro CHC SS A- .380/.396/.620 is plenty fine, though just 2 BB in 50 ab. Also 7 XBH in 11 G.
19 Jason Castro HOU C B+ Semi-odd .235/.366/.235 line for Castro. Not good enough to get him to Houston just yet.
1 Stephen Strasburg WAS SP A+ 2.1 IP in rain-delayed second start. 5 IP, 1 H, 6 K in last start. June 1?
2 Aroldis Chapman CIN SP A Oddly just a 1:4 K:BB in last start, 9:1 in first. May need a half yr of seasoning.
6 Christian Friedrich COL SP A- Better option than Marquis? - 2.81 ERA, 16:3 K:BB in 16 IP so far in 2010.
13 Shelby Miller STL SP A- 8 IP, 11 K to date. Spectacular 2009 with 176 K in 123 IP - 12.9 K/9.
14 Madison Bumgarner SF SP A- 6-3-2-1-1-3 on Mon. is a huge step forward after 11 ER, 21 H in first 7 IP.

2 Carlos Santana CLE C A He's a machine: .375/.457/.750. In related news, Lou Marson: 2-for-22 as CLE starting C.
8 Justin Smoak TEX 1B A 1.095 OPS through Sunday and with Chris Davis struggling, a promotion could come soon.
9 Chris Carter OAK 1B A .838 OPS qualifies as a slow start for a guy who put up a .992 mark a year ago.
12 Dustin Ackley SEA OF A- Just 5-for-46 to open his career, but 8:5 K:BB and aggressive move to AA..he'll be okay.
22 Austin Jackson DET OF B+ Power still isn't there, but he's been much better than I expected.
42 Alexander Colome TB SP B Ugly first start, but just 1 ER in 10.2 innings in last 2. A bit under the radar in stacked system.
43 Zack Britton BAL SP B 8.4 K/9 in A+ last year and off to nice start this yr - 15:3 K:BB in 16.1 IP w/ 3.86 ERA.
45 Jason Knapp CLE SP B No word on his status since September shoulder surgery. We'll try and get an update soon.
48 Chad Jenkins TOR SP B Impressive start for 09 1st rounder: 16.2 IP, 2.70 ERA, 18:3 K:BB. Could move quickly.
49 Alex White CLE SP B 2009 first rounder (#15 overall) has 12:6 K:BB in 9.1 IP in debut
