This is my second minor league player focused article, and this as some of you know is about minor leaguers you should be targeting.
Now keep in mind for this week and the following I will not include guys such as David Price and Matt Wieters who we know will come up any day now.
So, I don't want comments saying "Where's David Price," "You forgot Matt Wieters," cause I know I forgot them.
And before you ask any questions after each player I'll have the CBS Standard Weekly Scoring score for the week (i.e. if he was in the majors how many points he'd have).
Scoring:
BBI - Walks Issued -1 point
BS - Blown Saves -2 points
ER - Earned Runs -2 points
HA - Hits Allowed -1 point
INN - Innings 3 points
K - Strikeouts 1 point
L - Losses -5 points
S - Saves 5 points
SO - Shutouts 5 points
W - Wins 7 points
Pitchers:
Neftali Feliz, Oklahoma City RedHawks (TEX)
Although it's early on in the season it never hurts to have a good ERA. And after one four inning (ignore that they're protecting his arm) start his is 0.00. In his start against the Memphis Redbirds (STL), he gave up four hits and registered four strikeouts.
The only problem is that he gave up six walks which could push back the date the Rangers were targeting him for, however watch for him in the big leagues at some point this year.
CBS Standard League Weekly Score: 6 points
Aaron Poreda, Birmingham Barons (CHW)
Poreda took the loss in Birmingham's game against the Chattanooga Lookouts (LAD) but that was his only blemish. In four innings (again the arm thing) of work, he allowed three hits, gave up one earned run, and then another unearned run. He also have up four walks and struck out four. His 2.25 ERA is stellar but I wouldn't expect to see him in the majors anytime soon, most likely around late June, early July.
CBS Standard League Weekly Score: 7 points
Chris Perez, Memphis Redbirds (STL)
Perez is the only reliever listed on here and with good reason. In three innings of work over the course of two games the only other stats he got were a win, a save two walks and three strikeouts. He didn't give up a hit, he also never gave up a run.
CBS Standard League Weekly Score: 22 points
1B - Singles 1 point
2B - Doubles 2 points
3B - Triples 3 points
BB - Walks (Batters) 1 point
CS - Caught Stealing -1 point
HP - Hit by Pitch 1 point
HR - Home Runs 4 points
KO - Strikeouts (Batter) -0.5 points
R - Runs 1 point
RBI - Runs Batted In 1 point
SB - Stolen Bases 2 points
Hitters:
Gaby Sanchez, 1B, New Orleans Zephyrs (FLA)
Yeah, yeah I know the season just started but this top notch minor league first baseman is batting .450 in four games. In 20 at bats, he has nine hits, scored five runs, a double and a home run. He has also driven in five RBI. Also only four strikeouts to his credit only strengthen his numbers.
CBS Standard League Weekly Score: 13 points
Austin Jackson, OF, Scranton W/B Yankees (NYY)
Jackson is hitting even better than Sanchez, sporting a .500 batting average. In 22 at bats, he has 11 hits, scored four runs, driven in another six, he also has a triple. One stolen base and three walks improve his stats. But he's a strikeout machine registering six.
CBS Standard League Weekly Score: 15 points
Andrew McCutchen, OF, Indianapolis Indians (PIT)
McCutchen is batting .278 in his 18 at bats. In those he has five hits, he's touched the plate three times, hit a double, a triple and driven in a run. He also has three walks and only two strikeouts. Two stolen bases only help him. With a thin Pittsburgh outfield, don't be surprised to see him in the majors by at least mid May.
CBS Standard League Weekly Score: 15 points
