Usually testing an organization's patience is a bad thing, but JJ has to be testing the philosophy of keeping the AA team together with his amazing season |

Nelson, Brad |

R |

Lack of extra base hits or not, Nelly has struck out all of two times in 50 AB, which could be a sign of a forthcoming ridiculous offensive outburst |

Jones, Mike |

Wins and losses are not an especially important statistic; that said, is sure makes you feel good when a guy like Mike goes out there and battles for the win each time, as his 6-2 record shows |

Krynzel, Dave |

OBP finally finishes a Power 50 week over .400, and the walks and hits just keep coming |

Fielder, Prince |

Jeff Eure has now caught up to Prince in doubles, triples, and home runs, and the batting average is about to dip into the .270's |

Parra, Manny |

After scuffling around for a few starts, Manny has been lighting it up as of late and could be promoted to High Desert sooner than later |

Hendrickson, Ben |

The arm is at about 95% and a plane ticket back to Huntsville will be forthcoming shortly |

Hart, Corey |

Corey has been walking quite a bit more recently, something he needs to build on in addition to making better, consistent contact |

Ford, Matt |

The Power 50 has its fingers crossed that by this time next week, Matt will be in the Milwaukee rotation |

Martinez, Luis |
MLB |

Ben Sheets does indeed have company for worst hitting pitcher in the organization: Luis has 22 plate appearences, featuring 16 strikeouts |

Petty, Chad |

Peripheral numbers aren't too bad for Chad, but the stat that matters, a 9.53 ERA, needs a little work |

Diggins, Ben |

Latest word on the Diggins injury is that no one knows if he should have surgery or not... not a good omen |

Cruz, Enrique |

R |

I'd hope that Helms' day-to-day status at third would maybe allow Enrique some more playing time, but it's more likely he'll just have a new friend on the bench for a couple of days |

Wilhelmsen, Tom |

Tom hit 97 MPH on the gun at the Midwest League All-Star Game, both raising some eyebrows and his status on the Power 50 |

DJ is still keeping that OBP up through walks, but that's about all he's doing at the plate |

Moss, Steve |

Steve's stolen bases, or lack thereof, are not quite what we expected, but we'll blame it on his still-recovering ankle |

Liriano, Pedro |

Jason just keeps on slapping the ball around for the Mavericks, though they need him to boost the power up some more |

Hall, Billy |

Billy has gotten a lot of flack over the past season, but he is hitting almost .260 now with Indy, so maybe his star isn't totally faded |

Three triples and five caught stealings in 90 AB? Weird |

Ballouli, Khalid |

Coming back soon to a Beloit pitching staff that is fuller than Jeffrey Hammonds' bank account |

Palmisano, Lou |

Hitless in first professional game, so he's lucky to still be in the Power 50 |

Josh still being in Arizona instead of with the Helena club is not a good sign for him |

Morris, Chris |

Chris just can't seem to keep that OBP up to where it should be, it's always either not enough hits or not enough walks |

Batting average has stalled on its ride back to respectability, but .236 is still a heckuva lot better than .185 |

Johnny has been on a power binge lately, as he now as 5, count 'em, extra base hits on the year |

Barnes, Justin |

It'll be interesting to see which High Desert utility guy gets promoted to Huntsville first, and it may well be Froilan |

Needs to keep going with walking, because Ralph will need that skill when the batting average dives next season with Huntsville |

Gemoll, Brandon |

Maybe the decrease in plate discipline and increase in power in Brandon's game have to do with who is coming up behind him at first |
