Trea Turner: Hottest Prospect in the Minor Leagues?

[smallsnc]

Trea Turner has gotten off to a great start in professional baseball and is currently hitting .466 at Fort Wayne (Midwest Class A). He has been on Baseball America’s Hot Prospect list for the last 3 weeks including topping the latest list on August 1.

I think a lot of people forget that we had 2 1st round draft picks this year, but if Turner keeps playing like this, he is going to make everyone remember.

Hah. Coincidental that I happened to check in on him last night.

They are DHing the kid when playing the other SS.

^ Ditto, mostly because it was pointed out to me last night that David Lough (Os’ speedy LF/utility man, used most often as PR) could pass for Turner’s older brother.

^ Had to get the O’s in there, eh? Actually, now that you mention the Lough/Turner resemblance…

I’m surprised they aren’t getting him reps at 2B and CF, too.

I’m appalled that you would question the veracity of my story.

TinCaps mascot looks like a rabid strawberry wearing a saucepan, incidentally.

Tough to tell the difference. All those white boys look the same.

Ouch don’t go there! I picked the wrong guy out of a line up one time…
