Iowa Brett Jackson is red hot right now ending a HR shy of the cycle but he isn't the only prospect in Iowa on a tear as Josh Vitters hit another HR and added a double to boot. This is one of the best streaks of Vitters career and he has resurrected his prospect status as far as I am …

Iowa Game 1 Brett Jackson was 1-3 with a pair of RBI's and Rafael Dolis had a good outing in his return to AAA. Dolis struck out 2 and didn't walk anyone to earn the save. Iowa Game 2 Jackson kept it up going 1-2 with his 6th HR of the year. He also had an OF assist. One thing …

Iowa Josh Vitters is getting dangerously close to be interesting again as he hit another HR last night. Vitters is about as locked in as you can get right now with a .405/.476/.757 line in his last 10 games. The HR came off Royals starter Jonathon Sanchez who is on rehab assignment.  Smokies Junior Lake went 2-4 and committed his …

Iowa Josh Vitters lives! Determined to post a totally average OPS at every level of the minors Vitters hit his 6th HR yesterday and now sits with a pedestrian .767 OPS. Much like his .770 OPS of 2011 or his .770 OPS of 2009. Its weird to see a prospect who doesn't improve or get noticeably worse as he rises …

Normally I don't do weekend updates because you know, I'm a very important person who spends his free time doing important shit. Like today where I will be flying across the lake on a 21 foot powerboat jamming to Lynard Skynard and pounding Keystone's with my brah's. Because thats how we get down. But I decided to gift all of …

Iowa Brett Jackson went 2-4 and DID NOT STRIKEOUT! Hopefully bizzaro Jackson can keep that up. Anthony Rizzo hit a double but did not hit another HR so basically he is the batting equivalent of NOT AN ACE! One interesting fact about Iowa is that our bullpen is currently the land of misfit RP's. Retreads like Manual Corpas, Nate Robertson, …

Iowa Another day another Rizzo HR. Also, two more Brett Jackson strikeouts. Smokies Junior Lake went 2-5 with a 2B and Jae Hoon Ha hit his first HR of the year. Daytona Spellcheck Jr went 1-4 with a BB and The Greg of Rohan hit his 7th HR of the year. Tony Zych blew the save. Peoria They lost 11-0 …

Iowa Iowa blew up for 18 runs with Rizzo leading the way. He hit his 15th HR and added 2 more hits as well. He now has a 1.115 OPS. Vitters went 2-5 and is doing better after a slump. Volstad did alright in his first start since his demotion giving up 4 ER in 6 IP.  Smokies Junior Lake …

Iowa 5 AB's 4 strikeouts, just another day for Brett Jackson. Vitters was 1-4 with a double and a walk. After a few decent outings from the bullpen Jay Jackson was moved back to the rotation annndddd he sucked, giving up 6 ER in 3 IP.  Smokies Junior Lake went 2-4 with a walk and has a .397 OBP so …

Iowa Josh Vitters went 1-3 but is still sporting a sub .700 OPS. Jackson went 1-5 with 3 strikeouts and Rodrigo Lopez only allowed 1 hit in 6 innings pitched. Smokies Rebel Ridling has been a Cub minor league forever and never really gone anywhere but last night he had a great game hitting a pair of HR's to help …
