Needs just 54 at-bats with Milwaukee to graduate off the Power 50, but with J.J. Hardy coming back in a week, will he ever get them? Hopefully this will be Corey's last go-around on the Power 50 |

Can't argue with a 922 OPS, but his age and strikeout rate will probably keep him out of the #1 spot when the opportunity arises |

I was surprised to see Charlie assigned to Brevard to begin the year, a little surprised to see him hit so well from the beginning, so will the Brewers surprise me again and promote Charlie to Huntsville to give the Stars a boost? |

How can you not like what Barny is doing for Nashville? He's taken over the everyday SS job, he's hitting well, and as always, he's a great guy in the clubhouse... He may or may not ever make it to the bigs, but he'll be around baseball as long as he wants to be |
