@Doug Ault: The heat is bad, but it's the humidity that sucks. There is some speed on the, they just have to actually hit the ball to make the big leagues.

How in hell do they play in that Vegas heat?
The closest I’ll ever get to a 51′s game, is my authentic home jersey.
It’s good to see some speed on the way, with Cito gone there may be hope for a running game.

@DrEasy: You're welcome and thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it. You're right about Pastornicky being a Braves farm hand now. Guess I'll have another player to try and foward. -d'Arnaud is still fairly young, can't write him off yet, but I'm just not excited about him for Fantasy. -Emaus' homer excitement was negligible, he reached Baseball America's ceiling. 15 home runs would be a great year for him. In the majors, something along the lines of 10 to 12 homers would be his ceiling.

Great stuff, thanks! A few comments, as I follow my Blue Jays’ farm pretty closely:

- I think Pastornicky was sent to the Braves as part of the Yunel deal.

- d’Arnaud started the season on fire but had an injury that set him back quite a bit. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a guy like Jeroloman sooner than him in the bigs (but at best as a back-up catcher), and when it comes to pure potential, I think Carlos Perez has passed him (and maybe even JPA) in catching prospect rankings.

- I wouldn’t put too much stock in Emaus’ HRs, as many of them were hit in hitter- and hooker-friendly Las Vegas. But the OBP looks very nice. ODawg numbers could be his ceiling.
