Who has been the biggest (MiLB) surprise thus far?

[azbaseballfan]

Cyle Hankerd - hitting .360 in AA
Josh Vitters - Hitting .359 with 11 HRs
Kris Medlen - For obvious reasons

Who do you have?

 

[MOFNY]

Chuck Lofgren ERA under 2

Who knows if either will last.

Weglarz sucking is news to me

 

[EricInCT]

Tommy Hanson. He has been beyond dominate.

Weglarz sucking?

Other than his AVG being a tad low, he has come back very nicely after a slow start in the first weeks.

4 HR, 30 RBI, 29/22 K:BB ratio, in 40 games is not sucking.

Brandon Crawford. .964 OPS between A+ and AA in his first season as a pro. Being a 4th round pick I had lower expectations.

 

[trevordchi]

The entire Lexington pitching staff. I honestly thought most of those guys would play in short season ball this year but not only have they played well, they have carried a TERRIBLE offense to a winning record. A bunch of guys in their teens playing VERY VERY well.

 

[Brett Keith]

Lars Anderson's 240+ point drop in OPS in AA?

 

[darocker80]

Brandon Crawford. .964 OPS between A+ and AA in his first season as a pro. Being a 4th round pick I had lower expectations.

Adrian Cardenas- OPS of 1.073 in AA.

 

[ruffryder98499]

Brandon Snyder
Josh bell

 

[jbone17]

Jake Fox with 17 HR's? A nice surprise.

 

[rookieaddict]

DJ.

I'm sure you meant Daryl Jones

 

[Jesusmontero]

derek norris.... started the season off with 16 k's in 32 ab and was hitting around .270 but is now hitting .313 with 10 hrs

 

[soccerman034]

Neftali struggling as much as he had was a bit of a surprise to me. Granted he is 21 years old in AAA, but man, he is wild.

 

[bballcardkid]

Pedro Alvarez only making contact on HR balls.

 

[Hallsgator]

Fabio Castro

 

[HoustonTeams4Me]

Pedro Alvarez only making contact on HR balls.

The above (Alvarez not doing as well as thought in the contact/avg. department) & E.Hosmer sucking it up thus far in Low A... :| I'm hoping Hosmer is going the way of Moustakas's start at the beginning of last season, in which he bounced back beautifully from a pretty dang ugly start! Please, oh please, oh please!

 

[AKA Coastal]

Chuck Lofgren ERA under 2 (1.35era)
