Jovan Rosa – Chicago Cubs 1B/3B


H/W:  6-2 180 lb.     B/T:R/R     DOB:  10/26/87

Rosa has risen up the Chicago Cubs prospect chart after a fine full season showing at Peoria.  Rosa's 43 doubles and 81 RBI for a mediocre team shows promise of more power to come from this young 1B prospect.  Like many young hitters, Rosa strikes out too often and doesn't walk enough.  Defensively, he is an adequate fielder at either infield corner though his bat will need to produce enough power to stay there.  Rosa is still under the radar as many prospects go though his development into a notable everyday player is not a sure thing.  Keep an eye on him at High-A Daytona next season.  If he can bump the power numbers up and cut down the K totals, he may open a few more eyes.

Wes Hodges – Cleveland Indians 3B/1B


H/W:  6-1  205 lb.     B/T:  R/R     DOB:  9/14/84

Hodges put up very similar numbers at AA Akron to fellow Indians farmhand Beau Mills, hitting .290 with 18 HR and 97 RBI.  Hodges has an even stroke that drives the ball well to all fields.  His plate discipline is solid, as he walked 52 times versus 105 K's in 133 games.  Defensively, Hodges is a fringe average 3B and a decent 1B.  The Indians will need to choose either Hodges or Mills to play 3B with the other party moving over to 1B.  The Tribe sent Wes to the Arizona Fall League to work on his defense and see what he could do with the bat.  Offensively, Hodges Read the full story
