Top Power Hitting Prospects: Double A

Eastern League:
1. Nolan Reimold BAL OF 24- 19hr's.
2. Travis Snyder TOR OF 20- 17hr's
3. Nick Evans NYM 1B 22- 14 hr's 18 2b 296ab's
4. Dan Murphy NYM 3B 23- 26 2b 13 hr's in AA just got moved up to AAA.
5. Wes Hodges CLE 3B 23- 13hrs 21 2b's
6. Austin Jackson NYY CF 21- 9hr's 28 2b's.
7. Matt Wieters BAL C 22- 21 hr's between HA/AA. Statistically has no flaws. If he can stick at C he's got my vote as the best player in the minor's. More walks than SO's. Hits for great average. 6'5 220. Stud.
8. Pablo Sandoval SF C 21- 18hr's between HA/AA. Not terribly patient at the plate. Questionable whether he can stick behind the plate which would greatly diminish his value if he had to move to 1B.
9. Fernando Martinez NYM OF 19- 5hr's 12 2b's. All projection with F-Mart. I don't think it makes much sense to have him in AA at this point but the mets seem to consistantly push their prospects. His power potential, along with his other tools, are huge. Plate discipline is currently lacking.

Southern League:
1. Matt Laporta CLE 1B 23- 21 hr's
2. Mat Gamel MIL 3B/OF 23- 16hr's 34 2b's.
3. Gaby Sanchez FLO 1B 24- 14 hr's 36 2b's
4. Angel Salome MIL C 22- 9hr's 24 2b's 291 ab's. Good looking catcher all around. Very short and compact at 5'7 195. Keeps K's in check but could stand to draw a few more walks.
5. Michael Saunders SEA OF 22- 11 hr's 22 2b's. More projection than production power wise for him. However, he has a big frame at 6'4 205 and could still probably add more muscle. Hits for a decent average, draws a fair amount of walks. SO totals might be somewhat of a concern.
6. Brandon Allen CHW 1B 22- 29 2b 20 hr between A/AA. Has shown pretty good power the last 2 seasons. Is hitting for a decent average and showing good plate discipline. Strikes out too much, but still might make it to the big leagues as long as he continues to hit for power and draw walks. A decent prospect, nothing to get excited about, but solid.

Texas League:
1. Kila Haaihue KC 1B 24- 29hr's 11 2b between AA/AAA- Huge power potential. Hits for average and draws a rediculious amount of walks. He also strikes out at a very low rate for a power hitter. Though he's semi-old, he has very impressive numbers and seems like Beane's kind of Slugger.
2. Tommy Everidge OAK 1B 25- 20hr's. Barely a prospect at 25 but if he ever gets a shot in Oak maybe he has a chance to be a decent power hitter. Doubt it though.
3. Allan Craig STL 3B 23- 19hr's 27 2b's. This is a player, some A's fans have started to take note of as an underrated 3B who could be a find if swiftly plucked via a trade with STL. His all around offensive numbers are very solid. He doesn't excel in one particular offensive catagory, but he seems to be performing above-average in every one.
