#2 Baby!

Just got my new Baseball America magazine today and J.P. is rated the #2 prospect for the Jays, behind Travis Snider. That is fantastic news, especially beating out Brett Cecil who is one heck of a pitcher. He will be ready for Toronto next year for sure.

Also, he went 2-5 last night, with a double and a run. However, the game was suspended in extra innings because of a power outage at the stadium. That's not good, lol. Hopefully J.P.'s power outage won't last much longer and he'll get a a few more jacks in before the season is over. My guess is he'll get tonight off though, oh well.

Game Time

The Phoenix Desert Dogs are 15 minutes from taking on the Mesa Solar Sox. J.P. is the DH tonight, but it's going to be a battle tonight as Tommy Hanson is pitching for Mesa. Hanson is easily the best pitcher in the Braves system, and is in the discussion for the best RHP in all of the minors. Hopefully JPA can continue is good week as he is 4-7 with 2 2Bs and a walk! He also threw a guy out at 2nd and picked another off at 1st yesterday. He's recent hot hitting has raised his average to .299 and his OPS is .920. If he can get a hit or two of Hanson tonight, that would be awesome, Hanson has drawn comparisons to Jake Peavy and hsould be in Atlanta next year. Here is the BOX SCORE.
