Angels | Prospect Bourjos has Monster Game
Posted On 27 Jul 2010 By Thomas Belmont.
Peter Bourjos went 4-5 yesterday with 2 HR, a double and a single, just a triple short of the cycle.
Our Instinct: Peter Bourjos has been overshadowed by the breakout of young Mike Trout in the Angels system, but Bourjos is an excellent prospect in his won right. He's an exceelent OF with speed and average power. He has the making of a top of the lineup leadoff or #2 type. Yesterdays performace puts his season average at .316 with a 11 HRs and 27 SBs. So for you fantasy leaguers out there... it's going to cost you for Trout, but you might be able to steal Bourjos from someone. I stand by my Top 100 ranking of Bourjos.

Royals | Prospect Hosmer Homers Again
Posted On 27 Jul 2010 By Thomas Belmont.
Eric Hosmer 1B prospect for the Royals hit his 5th HR in a 1-3 effort.
Our Instinct: The Homerun is part of a power surge for Hosmer who had a great first half in High A. The move from an extreme pitchers park to a hitters park and the warmer weather is going to make Hosmer's new found power seem like a breakout. The fact is that his IsoP has been excellent all season. We're just going to see more of those doubles turn into HRs now and with that more press for Hosmer.

Diamondbacks | OF Prospect Krauss Homers
Posted On 27 Jul 2010 By Thomas Belmont.
Marc Krauss an OF prospect for the Diamondbacks went 1-4 with 2 RBI and his 19th HR of the season.
Our Instinct: Krauss showed up at #2 on our Diamondbacks prospect list this season and we said he would hit right out of the gate. His bat could be very special and the power that he's showing is certainly even more than we expected. With a .326 Batting Average and 19 HRs his production is warranting some Top 100 votes.

Rice | Top 2011 Draft Prospect Breaks Ankle
Posted On 15 Jul 2010 By Thomas Belmont.
Rice University star 3B Anthony Rendon a severe ankle injury while Playing for Team USA.
Our Instinct: Some consider Rendon the top prospect for the 2011 MLB Draft. After a sophmore season that had Rendon his 26 HR with a .394/.530/.801 slashline it not a far stretch. While speed is not Rendon's top tool, this is the second severe injury that Rendon has suffered to his ankle. But it is his power and hit tool that make him special. He should be able to come back from this surgery and be good to go for the start of the 2011 College Season.

Mariners | Prospect Ackley Movin Up
Posted On 15 Jul 2010 By Thomas Belmont.
The Mariners have promoted 2009 first-round pick Dustin Ackley to Triple-A Tacoma, according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com.
Our Instinct: Ackley is one of the Top 10 prospects in the minors regardless of his slow start in April. The slow start can be attributed to learning 2B and should have been expected. So if you took advantage in your fantasy league and aquired him cheap, Kudos. Ack moves to Triple A and his bat should move him fast to the majors where he'll hit for average from Go.

Royals | Prospect Moustakas Promoted
Posted On 15 Jul 2010 By Thomas Belmont.
Royals prospect third baseman Mike Moustakas was promoted to Triple-A Omaha.
Our Instinct: With a disappointing 2009 campaign by lofty standards as a a top prospect, Moustakas has redeemed himself back into the upper echelon of hitting prospects. His .251 average in 2009 skewed the power potential still present. But in 2010 he's locked in at .347 and is already has 21 HRs. He'll take his talents to Triple A Omaha where former 3B of the future Alex Gordon is currently manning the OF.
