Star's Weekly Hot 10 (4/10/08)

[starpower25]

This will be a weekly thing I do. This is not who I think the top 10 are but who the top 10 hottest players for the week are IMO. I will try and do this every week! Starting with the next weeks HOT 10 if a player was on the list last week I will show that by putting his previous ranking right beside his current one! Feel free to talk about each players week in this thread and if you have a diffrent list feel free to share it !

Star's Weekly HOT 10 !

1. Todd Frazier - SS (Dayton) - 7 games into the season Todd has put up the following numbers - ..476 avg 4 hr's 8 RBI 1.811 OPS ! He also has a 4/1 bb.k ratio right now !

3. Homer Bailey - RHP (Lou) - 2 starts this week and the numbers are as follwed - 1-1 12.2 innings 9 hits 2 bb 9 k's 0.78 ERA

4. Brandon Waring - 3rd (Dayton) - And to think these numbers have been outshined by his teammate todd frazier but here are his numbers after 7 games - .458 avg 3 hr's 7 RBI 1.411 OPS 4 bb 8 k's

5. Chris Valakia- SS - (Sarasota) - I think he moves to 2b in time but so far he is palying a solid short and hitting a ton in High A - 7 games .378 avg 2 hr's 6 RBI 1.020 OPS

6. Juan Fransico 3rd ( Sarasota) - He is yet to walk in his first 7 games but he is still hitting ! .367 avg 1 hr 5 RBI 6 doubles 1.033 OPS

7. Travis Wood LHP (Sarasota) - Only went 4.2 innings as they baby him a little but the stuff is so there. 4.2 innings 2 hits 2 bb 7 K's 0 runs

8. Jordan Smith RHP (Sarasota) - 2 starts into his season he is proving that having him get the opening day start was a smart move. On the week he is 2-0 12 innings 10 hits 3 bb 12 k's 1.50 ERA

9.B.J Syzmanski OF (Chatt) - He has not walked in first 7 games but he is hitting well. .400 avg 2 hr's 8 RBI 1.223 OPS

10.Bill Bray - LHP (Lou) - small sample size but he is pitching well in AAA...... 2 innings 1 hit 4 k's 0 runs

Francisco has no walks, and has only 1 HR, but the 6 doubles is mighty impressive. His power is still developing and someof those doubles will turn into HR's as he matures and plays in GABP. Francisco or Frazier = Bye bye EE in 2010, and these two are part of the reason why I think the Reds will not resign Dunn.

You never know both could be moved to the outfield someday. I could see at least one of them moving to the outfield

On a side note, Brandon Waring has been error free through 8 games in Low A at 3B.

Would be nice if Waring could stay at 3B.

I really don't think he can. His footwork and agility aren't very good. He's a first baseman waiting to happen, which is appropriate as his batting stance reminds me a bit of Jeff Bagwell.
