Atlanta Braves Minor League Recap: 6/17 (The Return of Jason Heyward)
Sports Page Atlanta —
... I hate when these two teams play. There are waaaaay too many double letter up there. Also, my boy, Willie Cabrera has started to hit this month. He is sporting a .396 BA in June with an OPS over 1.000 (which isn't hard when you hit .400). His walks are up and his power has spiked a little, though not back to where it was last season. Again, he is only 22 years old in AA, so even though no one ever talks about him I think he has value. His biggest weakness is he is a tweener, but if he can tap into that power he had in Myrtle ...

... Mat Young fell a homer short of the cycle in this game and continues to be a spark plug at the top of the order for Mississippi. His OPS is up over .800 for the season now and is coming off a month where he hit .323 with a .455 OBP. Willie Cabrera quietly had an excellent month of June posting a .290/.387/.450 line for the month. I wouldn't be surprised to see him start to come on in the second half of the season. ...

... are only 3-6 since Freeman and Heyward were brought up to the team. Obviously they are bad luck and we should trade them both immediately for cash. I really did want to put Concepcion Rodriguez and Willie Cabrera on my top 25 list, but neither one has an OPS over .700. I expect they are in my top 30 and both have been hitting very well over the last month. ...

... has only two biceps. But they are very large. But for a second I want to turn attention to another OF for the Braves. Willie Cabrera has recently pushed his season OPS over .700, which normally isn't huge. But taking into account the tough offensive environment of the Southern League and his horrendous start (.618 April OPS;.508 OPS in May) he has really turned it around the past couple of months and his August is looking just as good so far. ...

... Yet another consistent outing from Ryne Reynoso. He has been a solid anchor for this rotation thiss season. Willie Cabrera looks to make the most of his playing time with ...

... also continues his fine play of late, as August is the only month he's hit with any authority. Maybe he will be able to take this upswing with him out to the AFL and perform like he was expected to prior to the season. Travis Jones and Willie Cabrera have been hot this month too; it's nice to see guys working hard to finish the year strong. ...

... Willie Cabrera and Travis Jones continue their fine work of late, accounting for both M-Brave runs. Since the All-Star break Cabrera has hit .356 with a .922 OPS while Jones has hit .311 with a .860 OPS. Both are only 23 (though Jones turns 24 in November) and they've done a lot in the second half to retain their marginal prospect status. Ryne Reynoso puts up another solid start in a season where he's reaffirmed and perhaps increased his prospect status. ...

Talking Chop Round Table: Braves Center Fielders
Sports Page Atlanta —
... CBW: I think when you factor in that Concepcion Rodriguez and Willie Cabrera play a good bit of center field it looks a bit better. Both of those guys are fairly viable prospects, and if they reached their top offensive potential I'd be more than comfortable with them patrolling center. Frankly, Culver didn't even enter into my thoughts. He didn't get regular playing time and didn't play well. Miles is interesting because I think he's actually beginning a transformation that will establish him as a decent prospect. He's ...
