Joey Meneses just hit for the cycle.

Only 16 pitches for Graham this evening.

Elmer Reyes with three more hits, including a double and home run. I have to say the extra base power we are seeing for the first time is changing my view of this guy.

Kubitza is having a great May. 2 hits, including a double, and 2 walks in 4 PA's.

AA is where the wheat gets separated from the chaff. The guys that succeed at that level have a better than even chance of playing in the majors. In the case of Reyes and Kubtiza, I think they both still project as bench players. But a good bench player has value.

Another guy in Mississippi who has really moved up in my estimation is Williams Perez. He's about the same age as Hursh and Graham and doing better than them.
