So I've sorted through the team's minor league affiliates and put together a hot sheet of M's prospects who have done good things in the batter's box so far this year. Here it is!
AAA Tacoma:
- Ji-Man Choi .348/.438/.457 12BB/9K My pet theory is that his PED suspension happened due to a screw up with the medication for his back. Either way hopefully this issue never returns.
- Chris Taylor .328/.396/.535 22BB/43K
- Nick Franklin .293/.395/.489 33BB/41K (why is he not hitting in the bigs?)
- Ty Kelly .267/.398/.446 52BB/51K (!)
- Jesus Montero .270/.345/.455 26BB/51K Likely not the hitter we thought he was. : (
Of Note: What the hell is going on with Chantz Mack? He's a 23 year old drafted in 2013 who's bounced ALL OVER the M's affiliates without having really spent any significant time in one spot. Also; his name is Chantz.

AA Jackson:
- Jabari Blash - Graduated to AAA, trying to learn to hold his own.
- Patrick Kivlehan .314/.396/.500 20BB/33K
Of Note: Jack Marder and Dan Paolini ain't yet slugging enough to make the hot list.
A+ High Desert:
- Patrick Brady - Too old for the level (26), graduated to AA where he's working to establish himself.
- D.J. Peterson .326/.381/.615 (!) 23BB/65K Even for High Desert that's intense slugging. Just promoted to AA.
- Jabari Henry .289/.393/.583 32BB/49K
- Jordy Lara .318/.386/.523 27BB/65K Almost didn't make the cut.
Of Note: Steve Baron sucks. That holdout will always stick in my craw as long as he's not producing at the plate.
A- Clinton:
- Burt Reynolds .326/.426/.739 6BB/15K
- Austin Wilson .302/.390/.530 24BB/53K
Of Note: Tyler O'Neill showing promise for being the youngest hitter on the team at 19 years old.
