The Good, the Bad and the Ugly:
The pitching was Good, the hitters were Bad and some touted prospects were Ugly
LEHIGH:
Hoskins - .280/.378/.550/.928, mini-slump, but hitting .378 his last ten games
Perkins - .318/.395/.439/.834, very consistent all year, good discipline which deserted him in Philly, probably just nerves
Williams - .282/.351/.524/.875, 9BB/33K, don't think he's quite ready, but a few ML games will help him focus on what he needs to improve
Alfaro - .200/.297/.350/.647, 9BB/23K, 5 BB last ten games, May struggles extended into June, but finally getting the message about plate discipline
Mora - .375/.397/.571/.968 in Reading got him promoted to Lehigh, where he hit .250 his first week but 1BB/11K
Cozens - .224/.321/.418/.740, 13BB/29K, hot May followed by meh June, .184 his last ten games, work in progress who'll probably return to Lehigh next year
Crawford - .200/.302/.280/.582, 11BB/13K, looked like he was turning the corner then splat in June, must be something wrong with his swing mechanics
Pullin - .182 in 33 AB, check back in a month, earned this promotion, now he has to run with it
Appel - 2 2 2.50 6s 36.0 38 0 21 31 .275 BA - better, but not close to being ready, struggles out of the stretch nix the pen, inconsistency as a starter nix a promotion, so much for "upside."
Eshelman - 3 2 3.06 5s 32.1 31 4 4 23 .258 BA - untouchable in May, came back to earth in June, still a solid performance, next in line for a promotion
Thompson - 1 3 6.49 5s 26.1 33 4 10 20 .317 BA - just a mess right now, but too young to write off
Pinto - went back as a RP, 5 games, 11 IP 4H 0BB 8K, which is why he is back in Philly
Milner - 1 2 8.64 7g 8.1 13 1 2 11 .351 BA - great in May, then maybe they figured him out
Therrien - 0 0 2 sv 2.30 9g 15.2 13 2 2 14 .217 BA - guess AAA ball isn't that hard? Soon to come to a ML ballpark near you
READING
Kingery .321/.355/.500/.855 5BB/13K - slumped in June but still got promoted. Wasn't a Reading artifact, away numbers in AA ball: .309/.383/.596/.979
Tocci .280/.316/.387/.703; 5B/13K, only 21 but a Manny Mota slap hitter who lacks great speed, good defense but does he have a future in this organization?
Coppola .291/.364/.326/.689, 11BB/14K - adjusted quickly to AA, his advantage over Tocci is the speed and plate discipline to work as a leadoff hitter
Tromp .351/.393/.636/1.029, 5BB/13K - really turned it on in June and has stayed hot, has the five tools, could be putting it all together
Numata .290/.324/.387/.711, 4BB/4K, late bloomer (25 in August), IF converted to C, hit .300 in FSL last year, improved each month at Reading
Walding .326/.384/.831/1.215, 8BB/27K, another late bloomer (25 in September), needs to be pushed to see if he's a mirage
Canelo .187/.271/.307/.577, 8BB/24K - still 22, but lack of progress this season could see him passed by shortly by all the LA infielders in the system
Anderson 2 1 2.15 5s 29.1 19 4 10 25 .183 BA - followed a good May with a better June, head to Lehigh soon
Leibrandt 3 0 1.40 4s 25.2 27 1 9 12 .287 BA, bad May, good June got him promoted, does he have good enough stuff for the Show?
Viza 3 1 5.16 4s 22.2 22 4 11 15 .247 - no real progress in June, but only 22
M Sanchez 2 1 3.51 5s 25.2 30 5 4 12 .300 BA - future is probably a long RP at best
Watson 1 0 3.18 7g 11.1 12 0 1 10 .308 BA - moved to the pen, work in progress but seems better suited to this role
Rivero 2 0 3.86 9g 14.0 13 1 11 6 .260 BA - bit of a disappointment, in a holding pattern right now
Rios - great May, MIA in June, pitched on the 27th so hopefully he's healthy
Nunez - pushed into starting duties where he struggled in two games, hopefully he can go back to the pen
Davis 2 1 4.20 10g 15.0 17 1 7 16 .288 BA - good start after promotion in May, struggled some in June
DeNato 1 0 1.23 6g 7.1 7 0 6 7 .280 BA - junk ball LOOGY great May and June got him to Lehigh
Arano 0 0 3-3 SO 2.13 9g 12.2 14 1 2 8 .292 BA - he's back and dealing

Grullon .193/.254/.281/.535, 4BB/14K - another who struggled in June, again only 21
Randoph .260/.372/.384/.756, 12BB/28K - took his game up a notch in June, maybe he's turning the corner? Just turned 20 in June
Tavarez 1 1 2.49 4s 25.1 21 5 5 17 .231 BA - been dealing all year, destined to be promoted and see if his stuff plays at higher levels

Ed Garcia 1 1 2.53 5s 21.1 20 1 9 18 .250 BA - better as a starter than a RP, 20 years old

Casimiro 0 0 0.00 4g 8.1 5 0 0 11 .179 BA - enough to get him to Reading
Arauz 1 0 0.66 5 13.2 8 0 1 8 .178 BA - Giles trade throw in started in Lakewood, now in Reading

L Williams .329/.348/.424/.772, 3BB/10K - looked like a total flop until June, turns 21 in August so not too late to turn it around

Romero 2 0 1.71 4s 26.1 20 1 1 26 .208 BA - ridiculous numbers got him promoted to Clearwater
