National League
32 Jaff Decker SD OF B+ 1.000 OPS a result of hot April. Cooled way off in May - .208 avg and 9 BB in 53 at-bats.
33 Trayvon Robinson LAD OF B HR #8 on Monday and continuing to gain traction on a possible call-up.
36 Zack Cox STL 3B B 0 HR in first 30 games, but 2 in next 5. Also has .351 OBP and should see AA this year.
40 Delino DeShields Jr. HOU 2B B Just .224 but showing solid power w/ 4 HR. 8 SB but 7 CS, so has lots to learn.
41 James Darnell SD 3B B .410 in April and "only" .300 in May. 1.7 EYE and 1.096 OPS.
1 Julio Teheran ATL SP A Back up for another spot start, but don't expect him to stick around.
2 Shelby Miller STL SP A Double-digit K's in 3 of 7 starts. Should hit AA by year's end and then debut mid-2012.
21 Zach Lee LAD SP B+ K's haven't been there lately, but has a 1.17 ERA, very good stuff, and poise beyond his years.
22 Rubby De La Rosa LAD SP B+ Ugly 7 BB outing last time out. Probably a mechanical issue, but watch next start closely.
23 Matt Harvey NYM SP B+ 8 ER in a 5/10 start and then 5 shutout innings last time out. 2.61 ERA.
American League
2 Mike Trout LAA OF A+ .357 with 2 HR through first 16 days of May. Still probably a Sept call-up at best.
3 Jesus Montero NYY C A Power just isn't there yet, but 6 BB already in May after zero in April. Montero>Posada.
4 Mike Moustakas KC 3B A .229 April but mashing in May - .327 and has 3 HR in last 8 G. June call-up I think.
20 Lonnie Chisenall CLE 3B B+ 327 in May but has yet to find power stroke this year with 3 HR in 135 at-bats.
37 Nick Franklin SEA SS B Has hit in 9 of 10 and I'd expect #'s in Cal league to continue to get better.
5 Jacob Turner DET SP A- Love to see the 7.1 K/9 start to trend up, but can't argue with a 2.58 ERA for a guy his age in AA.
6 Martin Perez TEX SP A- 7.2-4-2-2-1-10 by far his best start of the year. Easy to forget he's just 20.
7 Mike Montgomery KC SP A- Ugly start last time out and now has 33:25 ERA. May be time to temper expectations a bit.
8 Manny Banuelos NYY SP A- 6-2-0-0-3-7 was his longest outing of the year. Could build up stamina for July debut.
9 John Lamb KC SP A- 21:13 K:BB in 34.1 innings. By far from a finished product, but still quite young.
