also in the AA game.. Whalen with a good start.. 6 pitched 4H/1ER/4K/1BB 95 pitches.. needs to throw more strikes...but still a good effort.

Real quick, and I'm sure there are professionals that get paid to do what I surmise, but Albies bat speed is second to none....and I mean none in this organization. I'd say Dansby is second, but I've only seen him once. If you look at Albies first AAA HR...watch the barrel get to the zone on the inside pitch. It's what separates him from say....Braxton. Braxton has the recognition, but only AFTER he's put in a hole forcing him to swing at a pitchers pitch or the UP AND AWAY pitch that he has problems with.
Albies will be ok. He's hitting the ball hard, but I've never seen so many at em balls. (My brother is in Gwinnett....gives me an excuse to see him and have beers). LOL. If Albies bats .100, he'll still learn. He's a quick study. Just wait for it....

Look for AJ Minter to be a guy that moves fast. He would have been a 1st round pick out of Texas A&M if he had never injured his elbow.
I checked Peterson's splits this morning and he's absolutely killing LHP. He's among the youngest players in the league (in a league where a number of relatively young guys sit high on the performance charts) and he's moved up a level each year. His power numbers look to be up this year (the bus crash probably set him back last year), which is a good thing in our system.
