Dellin Betances - SP - Charleston RiverDogs
Betances was horrible during his demotion to the GCL, but must have showed something as he was sent back to Low A ball and he had a very good start. He went 5 innings and allowed only 3 hits while allowing 2 runs and striking out 6. His biggest problem has been control and tonight he only walked one batter.
Michael Burgess - RF - Hagerstown Suns
Burgess showed his patience today going 0 for 1 on the game with 3 walks. He was able to score a run. On the season he is hitting .261/.350/.505. He has demonstrated a good eye at the plate and the ability to hit the ball hard when he makes contact.

Yu Darvish - SP - Nippon Ham Fighters
Another consistent start for Darvish, though he took the loss as the Fighters were unable to score a run. Darvish went 9 innings, allowing only 5 hits while striking out 7. What is not Darvish like were the 5 baserunners that got on via the walk. The only run allowed by him was a 6th inning solo homerun.

Jason Heyward - RF - Rome Braves
Heyward has just recently came back from a minor injury. He had a couple "0-fers" before going 2 for 4 today with a stolen base, his ninth on the season.
Blake Beavan - SP - Clinton LumberKings
Blake has been struggling lately. Though he only gave up 2 runs over 5.2 innings, he did give up 9 hits. Blake looks like he is a similar type of pitcher to Chris Volstad, throwing a lot of strikes and not giving up much in the way of walks. That typically means he will give up more than a hit an inning.
Justin Jackson - SS - Lansing Lugnuts
You do not see his name on this list much, but our fingers are crossed he will develop. Jackson went 1 for 2 with a double, a run scored and 2 walks. He also stole his 9th base. Jackson is only hitting .230/.360/.362 on the season...well, at least he can talk a walk!

Marrero finally put together a monster game yesterday as he went 3 for 4 with a double, a homerun, 2 runs scored and 2 RBI's. Marrero has struggled in High A ball for the last year, hitting AB=492, R=76, H=123, 2B=24, 3B=5, HR=19, BB=55, SO=113. That would give him approximate numbers of .251/.328/.434. Being a first baseman, these numbers are not where they need to be.

The hotest bat in the Posse system right now, Dominguez had his best game of the year and probably his career. He went 3 for 5 with a homerun, 3 runs scored and an RBI. Entering the season there were no questions about his defense, but a few a questions about his bat. Those concerns seem to be diminishing.

Posse make high school catcher first selection in minor league draft
The Posse announced today the selection of High School catcher Kyle Skipworth with their first, first round selection. Skipworth was the third player selected in the draft behind Geovany Soto and Aaron Crow.
"We are very excited to add Kyle to our organization. He brings a complete package of a power contact bat that also has the ability to field his position well.", stated GM Shawn Luddington. "Not only was he the top rated available player on our board, but he also plays a position that we are focused on stocking right now".
In the short term the Posse probably do not have a need for a catcher as they have Jorge Posada and Chris Snyder in the majors, but in the minors the story is much different. "We have not had much luck building from within on that position. We came into the season with Hank Conger and Danny Rams. Conger is out currently with an injury and we decided to part ways with Rams as he was not progressing to the level we expect. Kyle and Hank should give us two potential star catchers that will be ready when Jorge retires".
Skipworth is a big bodied catcher who has the potential of outgrowing the position. Right now he has the overall skillset to remain at the position. He has plus bat speed, good power, soft hands and an above-average arm.
