I'm out all day today so talk amongst yourselves on this one, but I wanted to at least compile a quick daily for those that have become addicted to the report as much as I am to doing it.

Others Of Note:

  • Austin Adams, RHP, Indians (High-A Kinston): 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K. 2009 fifth-rounder is small righty with big velocity; profiles better as a reliever but has been outstanding this year.
  • Oswaldo Arcia, OF, Twins (Rookie-level Elizabethton): 2-for-5, HR (8), 2 R, RBI, 2 K. 19-year-old Venezuelan is batting .376/.322/.744 in 29 games while generating equally glowing scouting reports.
  • Michael Aubrey, DH, Orioles (Triple-A Norfolk): 2-for-3, 2 HR (6), 2 R, 6 RBI, BB. Blast from the past as now 28-year-old former prospect has seven home runs in his last six games; just .237/.313/.483.
  • Manny Banuelos, LHP, Yankees (High-A Tampa): 5 IP, 5 H, 3 R (0 ER), 3 BB, 10 K. 20-year-old lefty has 33 Ks in 23.1 innings; Just five-foot-ten but well above average stuff and command.
  • Darwin Barney, SS, Cubs (Triple-A Iowa): 2-for-5, 3 RBI, 2 K. Batting .354 in July and .303/.337/.379 overall; good fielder, great makeup, could play a decade in the big leagues as a utilityman.
  • Brandon Belt, 1B, Giants (Double-A Richmond): 2-for-4, 3B, SB. Team official recently asked my opinion on Belt, when I asked why he asked, he said, "Because we just had a scout put a super high number on him."
  • Ryan Brett, 2B, Rays (Rookie-level GCL Rays): 3-for-3, 3B, R, 2 RBI. Second pro game for third-round pick; tiny kid, but big speed, but in terms of feet and bat.
  • Joel Carreno, RHP, Blue Jays (High-A Dunedin): 7 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 9 K. 23-year-old Dominican has average velocity but killer slider; 32 Ks over 19 innings in last three starts.
  • Chris Carter, 1B, Athletics (Triple-A Sacramento): 1-for-4, HR (23), R, 2 RBI, BB. Four home runs in last three games and 23 in 359 at-bats; .242/.348/.510 overall.
  • Christian Colon, SS, Royals (High-A Wilmington): 3-for-6, R, RBI, K. Fourth overall pick with second three-hit game in five contests.
  • Ross Detwiler, LHP, Nationals (Double-A Harrisburg): 7 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 7 K. Best rehab start yet; been up to 93-94 mph at times.
  • Nick Franklin, SS, Mariners (Low-A Clinton): 2-for-4, HR (18), R, RBI, K. '09 first-round pick continues to shock with his power; scary thing is that scouts think it's for real.
  • Aaron Hicks, OF, Twins (Low-A Beloit): 3-for-5, 3B, 2 R, K, SB. First game after missing two weeks with a wrist issue; averages are up to .269/.378/.418.
  • Carter Jurica, SS, Giants (Short-season Salem-Keizer): 4-for-5, 2 3B, R, 4 RBI, SB. First big game for third-round pick; still at just .210/.288/.314 in 28 games.
  • Casey Kelly, RHP, Red Sox (Double-A Portland): 6 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 8 K. One of his best starts of the year; and three straight quality outings in a row.
  • Jeff Kobernus, 2B, Nationals (Low-A Hagerstown): 2-for-4, 2B, HR (1), 2 R, 5 RBI, BB, SB. First pro home run for '09 second-round pick; dreadful first half but hitting .380/.427/.519 in 19 July games.
  • John Lamb, LHP, Royals (High-A Wilmington): 7.1 IP, 3 H, 3 R (1 ER), 0 BB, 8 K. It just doesn't stop.
  • Hak-Ju Lee, SS, Cubs (Low-A Peoria): 4-for-5, 3B, HR (1), 2 R, RBI, BB. 19-year-old Korean is hitting .389/.441/.519 in July and up to .287/.354/.364 overall; plus defense, arm and speed.
  • Devin Lohman, SS, Reds (Rookie-level Billings): 2-for-5, 2B, 3 RBI, K. Three straight multi-hit games for third-round pick; big athletic shortstop has 11 errors in 21 games.
  • Ryan Ludwick, OF, Cardinals (Triple-A Memphis): 2-for-2, 2B, HR (2), R, 3 RBI. Two rehab games, two home runs.
  • Jordan Lyles, RHP, Astros (Double-A Corpus Christi): 6.2 IP, 9 H, 5 R, 2 BB, 11 K. Strange dominant/non-dominant line.
  • Tyler Matzek, LHP, Rockies (Low-A Asheville): 1.2 IP, 4 H, 5 R (4 ER), 5 BB, 1 K. Ouch; Control has been an issue all year with 35 BBs in 55.2 IP.
  • Shelby Miller, RHP, Cardinals (Low-A Quad Cities): 5 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 8 K. 21 strikeouts over last 13 innings; the Cardinals only trade chip if they want to make a blockbuster.
  • Jesus Montero, C, Yankees (Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre): 3-for-3, 2B, RBI, BB. 8-for-9 in last three games with three walks; up to .420/.531/.740 in July.
  • Mike Moustakas, 3B, Royals (Triple-A Oklahoma): 2-for-4, HR (2), 2 R, RBI. Has gone deep in back-to-back games after slow Triple-A start.
  • Mitch Moreland, OF, Rangers (Triple-A Oklahoma City): 3-for-5, 2 RBI, K. .338/.407/.595 in July; should be a nice bench option in December.
  • Francisco Peguero, OF, Giants (High-A San Jose): 4-for-6, 2B, 3B, R, RBI, SB. Up to .403/.465/.610 in 18 July games and .307/.341/.458 overall; 12 triples and 35 stolen bases speaks to his speed.
  • Wilson Ramos,C, Twins (Triple-A Rochester): 3-for-4, 2B, R, 2 RBI. Batting .298 in July, but has gone 43 games without a home run while slugging .331 on the season.
  • Wilin Rosario, C, Rockies (Double-A Tulsa): 1-for-3, HR (15), R, 3 RBI, BB. Seven home runs in last 12 games and .279/.333/.533 overall; has also gunned down 44% of opposing base stealers.
  • Tyson Ross, RHP, Athletics (Triple-A Sacramento): 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 7 K. 15 Ks in 10.2 innings since demotion; still has future starter possibilities.
  • Jean Segura, 2B, Angels (Low-A Quad Cities): 4-for-5, 2 2B, 2 R, SB. New leadoff batter with Trout moving up; small but can really hit at .305/.354/.436 including 15-for-30 run in last six games.
  • Kyle Skipworth, C, Marlins (Low-A Greensboro): 2-for-3, R, 2 BB, K. '08 first-round pick looked like a bust after last year, but has rebounded a bit with .258/.325/.482 line.
  • Matt Szczur, OF, Cubs (Short-season Boise): 3-for-4, 2B, RBI. Fifth-round pick and former Villanova wide receiver is 23-for-55 (.418) in 13 games for Hawks.
  • Brandon Waring, 3B/OF, Orioles (Double-A Bowie): 3-for-3, 3 2B, 2 R, 2 RBI, BB. Slugging .758 in July, but still at just .249/.336/.488 overall with 122 Ks in 334 ABs; also of note is that he's played his last two games in left field.
  • Jordan Zimmermann, RHP, Nationals (High-A Potomac): 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K. Seems to be all the way back post-surgery; Velo, breaking ball and command all at previous levels.

If Zimmermann and Detwiler come back strong, and Yuniesky Maya turns out to be Major-League ready, then the Nats may well be a lot more fun to watch in August and September.

Yeah, talk about some excitement in D.C. with that scenario and Strasburg in the mix...

Except Stras is only going to throw another 40-50 IP, so he'll probably be shut down in early September.

Kevin there's talk that Ackley might be called up to the majors this season. Earlier this season, I believe your comment about him was "hell I don't know". Do you know now?
