Do you attend a lot of triple-A games? Can you keep track of the players as they yo-yo from the majors to the Bus Leagues? Do you just like putting dots inside of circles? Then this is for you:
Vote for the Triple-A All Star Team
Because of all of the call-ups, AAA doesn’t figure much in the Z-meter. But just in case it helps, here are the 6/19/08 stats on the guys I track:
Andrew McCutchen, CF – Indianapolis Indians (Pirates): .286 – 43R – 8HR – 28RBI – 20SB – 31BB – .436 SLG – .804 OPS
Eulogio De La Cruz, RHP – Albuquerque Isotopes (Marlins): 13GS – 8W – 3L – 3.72 ERA – 25BB – 60K
Joe Koshansky, 1B – Colorado Springs Sky Sox (Rockies): .296 – 43R – 15HR – 30BB – 66RBI – 0SB – .601 SLG – .976 OPS
Colby Rasmus, LF – Memphis Redbirds (Cardinals): .247 – 44R – 10HR – 33RBI – 9SB – 40 BB – .402 SLG – .743 OPS
Nelson Cruz, RF – Oklahoma Redhawks (Rangers): .348 – 60R – 21HR – 57RBI – 15SB – 41BB – .704 SLG – 1.156 OPS
MiLB also provides a handy pop-up stats comparison chart to help us out, but I like to vote for the funniest name if I don’t know all of the players. The All-Star Game is being held in Louisville, so I’m sure the Bats are sorry their two top prospects won’t be with them to share in the slightly diminished glory.

Nelson Cruz and his 1.162 OPS are off the hook. I can’t understand why Texas isn’t calling him up. Is it because they want him to have the all-time awesomest AAA season ever? Because they think he’s washed up at 28? Because of the Frank Catalanato/Brandon Boggs/David Murphy juggernaut that has catapaulted them to third place (out of four) in the AL West?
Fine with me if he stays in AAA. The Rangers are totally lame, and Nelson Cruz is not!
