Use the Internet to learn about the history of baseball, from baseball drafts to baseball drills.     Power 50 +/- Rank  Name  Level  Pos  Age  B  T   01 Nelson, Brad   A   1B 30 L R   No extra base hits so far for Nelly, but no strikeouts, either  02 Jones, Mike   A   MR 30 R R   Fairly inauspicious AA debut, but it is something to build on  03 Hendrickson, Ben   MLB   SP 32 R R   Two home runs given up in two starts is sort of weird for Ben  04 Hardy, J.J.   MLB   SS 30 R R   Has been scary good so far at the plate, a sign of things to come?  05 Hart, Corey   MLB   OF 31 R R   Off to a slow start at the plate and in the field  06 Parra, Manny   A   MR 30 L L   Finally got to start his first game as a Snapper and did well, 1 run in 5 innings  07 Fielder, Prince   A   1B 29 L R   Home run in 2003 debut continues to further the legend  08 Krynzel, Dave   MLB   CF 31 L L   Nagging hamstring injury could keep Dave day-to-day for awhile  09 Diggins, Ben   A   MR 33 R R   One again effective in AA, but the peripheral numbers still don't jump out  10 Cruz, Enrique   A   SS 31 R R   Not embarrassing himself in Milwaukee because he's not playing  11 Ford, Matt   A   MR 32 S L   How long can the scoreless streak go?  12 Belcher, Jason   A   RF 31 L R   Served a three game suspension carried over from last season and is now taking aggression out on baseballs 2  13 Martinez, Luis   MLB   SP 33 L L   If not for a pitch count, Luis may have broken the Huntsville record for K's in a game in his first start  14 Carpenter, Calvin   A   SP 30 R R   Still waiting to make debut, as are most Snappers pitchers 2  15 Hall, Billy   MLB   3B 33 R R   He's not hitting, but no one else in Indy is either, so that's OK, I guess  16 Johnson, Kade   A   C 34 R R   Appears to be swinging at a lot of stuff and that plate discipline thing isn't going so well early on 2  17 Liriano, Pedro   A   SP 32 R R   Pretty inconsistant in his first AA start, dominant at times and very average at other times 1  18 Chavez, Ozzie   AA   IF 29 S R   Working back from a broken hand suffered in March and is still a week or more away 1  19 Clark, D.J.   A   LF 33 L R   So far Daryl is doing a good job trying to prove that the staff was wrong in putting him back in High Desert  20 Murray, Josh   A   3B 28 R R   With Hardy tearing it up a couple levels above, Murray might be tried at third or second later on this season  21 Gold, J.M.   A   SP 33 R R   A week into the season and still healthy! Yah!  22 Moss, Steve   A   CF 29 R R   If Steve can put up a .400 OBP this season in Beloit, he may be in the top 10 by the end of the season  23 Ballouli, Khalid   A   SP 33 R R   Still waiting to make season debut  24 Thomas, Eric M.   A   SP 32 R R   Maybe the Snapper said they'd have to wait to add Mega to the roster because of jersey-size issues  25 Zoccolillo, Peter   AAA   RF 36 L R   The addition of Conti to the Indianapolis roster better not take any playing time away from Zocco  26 Morris, Chris   A   CF 33 S R   Krynzel's injury won't help Morris' advancement through the system any  27 Guerrero, Cristian   MLB   RF 32 R R   Last week I predicted that Cris would hit about .280 this season, and I'm about ready to retract that already 2  28 Adams, Mike   MLB   CL 34 R R   Beginning his quest to once again be advanced two levels in a season on the right foot  29 Childers, Matt   A   MR 34 R R   Pitched long relief in finishing out an extra-innings game and has been used as a middle reliever = huh? 3  30 Lawrence, Joe   A   C 36 R R   Manager Cecil Cooper seems intent on keeping Lawrence in the lineup, and it's probably only a matter of time before we see him in CF  31 Wilhelmsen, Tom   A   SP 29 R R   Starting season in Beloit, and what's more, is going to make some starts 4  32 Veras, Wilton   A   3B 35 R R   Not hitting yet, and if he doesn't start, has a very tenuous hold on a Power 50 spot 1  33 Ramirez, Carlos   A   SP 28 L L   Wilhelmson can start in Beloit, why can't Carlos? I'm bitter 1  34 Crabbe, Callix   A   UT 30 S R   There is going to be a cat-fight for the best second base prospect in the system this season, and Callix has the early leg up 1  35 Scarborough, Steve   A   SS 35 R R   As is a running theme, not hitting in AAA; didn't hit in AAA last season either; eeek  36 Plasencia, Francisco   A   CF 28 L L   Why doesn't our beloved webmaster like Francisco as much as he loves Manuel Melo?  37 Stavros, Tony   A   CL 32 R R   Early lesson on why High Desert is not a fun place to pitch  38 Raburn, Johnny   A   IF 34 S R   OBP up, BA down; Johnny needs to be doing some damage in the Cal League 2  39 Villanueva, Froilan   A   C 34 R R   He is on the High Desert roster after all, but playing third base 1  40 Steitz, Jon   A   MR 32 R R   Hasn't pitched yet for Beloit, and does he really need any more time to think before taking the mound for the first time this season? 1  41 Hall, Dan   A   SP 33 R R   First start could have gone better, but that is the status quo for the Mavs' rotation  42 Gemoll, Brandon   A   1B 32 L L   Brandon is a pretty big guy, so it's surprising that he only hits for the power he does  43 Nance, Shane   A   MR 35 L L   One of the few members of the Brewers staff not to have at least one horrendous outing  44 Hall, Bo   MLB   MR 32 R R   Not in the Beloit rotation? Blech  45 Paz, Rich   A   UT 35 R R   Splitting time with Chris Barnwell at second base for the Stars 2  46 Esparragoza, Pedro   A   C 31 R R   Hopefully we see a pretty even split between Vanden Berg and Pedro behind the dish for the Snappers  47 Coco, Pasqual   A   SP 35 R R   Signed so late in spring that this is almost spring training for Pasqual, so if he pitches well now, it's an added bonus 2  48 Ramirez, Manny   A   1B 30 R R   Quickly losing Power 50 steam with a non-assignment  49 Carter, Nic   A   MR 32 S R   Along with Murray, attempting to justify the Brewers' high drafting of himself in Beloit  50 Vanden Berg, John   A   C 33 R R   Got the opening day start for the Snapper at catcher Players removed this week:
