14 Straight

SP,Todd Redmond: ERA 3.42, W-L 7-2, BAA .267, K's 70, BB 13

Looks good all around. Wasn't expecting the K's. His best pitch is the change up. He's doing well at a pretty high level (double A)

OF, Gorkys Hernandez: BA .303, OBP .363, SLG .493, HR 3, RBI 18, SB 6, CS 1

Gorkys is looking good at class A. He's certaintly got some wheels on him, and he's actually hitting for some pop. I like it.

SS, Brandon Hicks: BA .243, OBP .340, SLG .504, HR 12, RBI 35, SB 9, CS 2

Shortstop is not a position of need for the Braves, what with Escobar and Lillibridge well ahead of Hicks on the org. depth chart, but his power speed combo is impressive.

Well, I'm starting to run out of prospects. The next segments will be more along the lines of players like Tyler Flowers.

Pitchers edition:

(Note: I will offer some analysis for these stats)

From Class A Rome Braves:

Jeff Locke: ERA 4.24, W-L 1-7, .271 BAA, K's 66, BB 24, IP 76 1/3

The wins aren't pretty and neither is the ERA, but his BB/K ratio is good and the BAA seems abnormally high. I can't find BABIP numbers for minor leaguers, but I would bet his is a solid 20% higher than average. He is missing a few bats.

Cole Rohrbough: ERA 6.30, W-L 1-1, .277 BAA, K's 25, BB 9, IP 20

ERA looks bad, but it looks like it's been inflated a bit by his first start at Rome. He's really missing bats.

From AA Mississippi Braves:

Thomas Hanson: ERA 4.50, W-L 2-3, .244 BAA, K's 34,13 BB, 36 IP

(note: Hanson was terrific at class A Mrytle Beach)

Gotta love this guys build. 6 foot 6 210 LB, as listed on his MiLB page. That guy just has to throw hard, right? The numbers seem to tell most of the story here. Hanson has struggled a bit since being promoted. No big deal. Just an adjustment period. Another live arm that misses bats.

As I've done some research so I could make these threads, I've really started to love the Braves minor league system, especially in pitchers. Lots of good arms in the system.
