Michael Stanton doubled twice, tripled and scored two runs while Ryan Kalish hit his third HR and drove in four runs. Blue Jays ’07 second rounder John Tolisano continues to swing a hot bat hitting his fourth HR in the last seven games and Rangers OF prospect Mitch Moreland hit his fifth. Madison Bumgarner pitched well again, surrendering just one earned run over five innings, but he took his first lost of the season. and Arizona Diamondbacks RH prospect Patrick McAnaney surrendered just two hits over six scoreless innings while punching out eight in a no-decision.
Lonnie Chisenhall is a repeat offender for top prospect honors as he went 4-5 with his fifth HR, four RBI and three runs scored. Chisenhall, 20, has been able to stick at shortstop thusfar despite the consensus from baesball insiders that he will need to eventually shift to 3B. He has six errors through his first 23 games and was able to garner a respecitble .929 fielding % last season. The Indians are flush with corner infield prospects which makes Chisenhall’s development as a shortstop more intriguing. Shortstops, especially ones with the power of Chisenhall, tend to be more appealing to prospect hounds which, naturally, increases the values of their rookie cards on the online market. The Indians’ former first rounder has solid plate disicpline, but his 8 BB/22 K is somewhat behind last year’s promising totals. Some of this may be due to him skipping the Low-A level and adjusting to the quality of pitching in the Carolina League.
