Top Pitching Prospects

(3) Allen Webster, RHP, Boston/Pawtucket -- 0-1 W-L, 43.20 ERA, 5.40 WHIP,
2/3 K/BB in 1.2 IP for Boston; 4-0, 2.08, 0.97, 25/11 K/BB in 21.2 IP for
Pawtucket

(4) Matt Barnes, RHP, Portland -- 2-0, 2.65, 1.06, 37/9 K/BB in 34.0 IP

(5) Rubby De La Rosa, RHP, Pawtucket -- 0-1, 0.56, 0.88, 17/7 K/BB in 16.0 IP

(7) Henry Owens, LHP, Salem -- 1-1, 5.04, 1.32, 32/11 K/BB in 25.0 IP

(9) Anthony Ranaudo, RHP, Portland -- 3-1, 1.91, 0.91, 32/10 K/BB in 33.0 IP

(12) Brandon Workman, RHP, Portland -- 1-1, 4.82, 1.50, 35/9 K/BB in 28.0 IP

(14) Alex Wilson, RHP, Boston/Pawtucket -- 1-0, 3.75 ERA, 1.75 WHIP, 11/6
K/BB in 12 IP for Boston; 0-1, 6.75, 2.25, 2/1 K/BB in 1.1 IP for Pawtucket

(17) Drake Britton, LHP, Portland -- 1-3, 3.86, 1.56, 31/15 in 32.2 IP

(18) Brian Johnson, LHP, Greenville -- 1-3, 4.28, 1.24, 31/9 K/BB in 27.1 IP

Despite being rocked in his one appearance with Boston on May 8, Webster was
unfazed and returned to post solid numbers with the PawSox. ... Barnes
returned to form in May, showing improved command of the strike zone. ... De
La Rosa had his pitch limit increased to 70-75 pitches per game, and has had
improved results when he hasn't had to worry about his pitch count. ...
Ranaudo was outstanding for the second consecutive month, featuring a plus
mid-90s fastball, a solid curveball, and a decent changeup. ... Johnson, on
the other hand, has disappointed for a first-round college pick pitching at
the low-A level.

→ 雖然Webster在大聯盟(5月8日)的比賽中被打爆，但是這並沒有影響他，Webster繼續
在Paw Sox投出不錯的成績。

→ Barnes在五月回歸正常，更能控進好球帶。


→ De La Rosa的用球上限提至70-75球，這解放了他讓他不需要擔心用球數，繳出更棒
的表現。


→ Ranaudo繼續維持上個月的好表現，plus mid-90s fastball、不錯的曲球和很棒的
changeup。


→ 身為第一輪選進的大學球員，Brian Johnson在1A的表現令人失望。


Risers

(21) Frank Montas, RHP, Greenville -- 0-2, 4.50, 1.14, 25/8 K/BB in 22.0 IP

(25) Mookie Betts, 2B, Greenville -- .356/.472/.663 with 6 HRs and 8 SBs

(35) Chris Martin, RHP, Portland/Pawtucket -- 1-0, 1.72, 0.96, 16/3 K/BB in
15.2 IP

Montas has been able to take advantage of many batters with his high-90s
fastball, but he'll need to make continued improvement with his slider to
move to the next level. ... Betts has been the lone bright spot in
Greenville's anemic offense. ... Martin earned a promotion to Pawtucket on
May 11, and gave up his first earned run of the season on May 28.

＃ Montas已經能用high-90s的直球來電對手，但是他必須加強slider才能往下一階前進。


＃ Betts是屍氣沉沉的Greenville中唯一的亮點


＃ Chris Martin在5月11日升上Paw Sox，5月28日才丟本季第一個自責分。


Fallers

(24) Brandon Jacobs, OF, Salem -- .227/.272/.423 with 4 HRs and 3 SBs

(26) Pat Light, RHP, Greenville -- 13.06, 2.90, 8/8 K/BB in 10.1 IP

(42) Kolbrin Vitek, 3B, Portland -- .162/.225/.203 with 0 HRs

It was moderately surprising that Jacobs did not earn a promotion to Double-A
to begin the season, and unfortunately he has taken a step back from his 2012
performance. ... Like Johnson, Light has been far too hittable for a high
college draft pick playing at low-A. ... Vitek, a first-round pick in 2010,
is now hitting .262 with a .698 for his minor-league career, while continuing
to post increasingly worse results each season.

╳ Jacobs在開季時沒擠進2A有些令人驚訝，但是他在Salem的表現又退回到2012年的等級。


╳ 跟Brian Johnson一樣，Pat Light身為高順位大學球員卻在1A就變成了發球機


╳ 2010年第一輪的Vitek在小聯盟生涯.262/.333/.364/.697，表現一年比一年更糟。
