AAA - OF Jason Repko, 28, seems like a man on a mission for the Isotopes. Early in the season he was slugging homeruns but hitting for a low average. Last week Repko started firing on all cylinders tallying up 14 hits in his last 29 AB's, he's also hit safely in every game this month. Repko's season line: .296 AVG, 8 HR, 21 RBI, 11/13 SB, .982 OPS
AAA - 2B/3B Blake DeWitt is also making the most of his time in the PCL. On Friday DeWitt hit his 1st HR of the season. Over the course of the week he posted a 4-hit game, a 3-hit game and 2-hit game. In 13 games this season: .360 AVG, .448 OBP, 1.068 OPS, 8 K/8 BB --- 8 of his 18 hits have gone for extra bases.
AA - 2B/3B Tony Abreu is playing again! In 2 games this week the once promising prospect has 1 hit in 6 AB's. The 24-year-old switch-hitter has battled a flurry of injuries over his brief career, the latest being in the groin area. Let's hope he finally gets back on track.
AA - LHP Scott Elbert has struggled in his brief stints as a reliever in the majors, but right now he is stretching his arm out as a starter for the Lookouts. Here's his line in 4 starts this season and remember that he is still one of the most talented arms in the system: 1-0, 1.42 ERA, 19 IP, 16 H, 7 R, 3 ER, 24 K/7 BB
High-A - RHP Tim Sexton had a fine week. Here's his line from 2 starts: 15 IP, 9 H, 2 ER, 7 K, 4 BB
---Sexton, 22 in June, was drafted in the 25th Rd in 2007. After a promising start to his career in rookie ball, he struggled last season in High-A. He seems to be fairing better against the league so far this year. He is 1-2 with a 2.75 ERA in 36 IP.
High-A - RF Scott Van Slyke is locked in right now. Drafted in the 14th round in 2005, Van Slyke is the son of former All-Star Andy Van Slyke. After struggling with Inland Empire last season the 22-year-old has been spectacular in the league this season. In the month of May he is hitting .489 (22-45), 2 HR, 12 RBI. Here's his line from the season: .379 AVG, 4 HR, 22 RBI, 1.039 OPS, 29 K /5 BB
High-A - CF Trayvon Robinson continues to rack up the hits this season. He posted 6 multi-hit games last week! Here's his season line: .346 AVG, 4 HR, 16 RBI, 24 R, .372 OBP, .931 OPS
A - OF Kyle Russell has been mentioned on this blog before and after hitting 5 HR last week he deserves mention again. Let's note that Russell, a feast or famine hitter, is off to a wonderful start but he is a bit old for the league and will likely be promoted soon. Here is his still impressive line on the season: .330 AVG, 9 HR, 30 RBI, 1.087 OPS, 14 BB / 28 K in 30 games

In 60 minutes, a wise author named Bill James (Baseball statistic expert) said it's not all about the RBI but how many times a baseball player could land on the bases. Something like that. According to to him, he believe that Matt Kemp and James Loney are among the top 25 young talent in baseball.
I like when you come back with that after you laughed at Bill James the other night for being such a nerd.
Kemp is certainly in that category, but Loney...eh, not quite yet.
