Reid Hamblet (04)
Making a Splash - "Hamblet, who anchored the pitching staff for Biola University, has spent a summer in the Alaskan Summer League and gives credit to his summer league experience for easing his transition from college to professional baseball."

"Salem's Scott Robinson is best defensive first baseman in the Carolina League."

Jeff Culpepper - Daytona Cubs

"Trevor Mortensen had four hits to lift his average to .364"

 Jason Giambi (90)
One Yankees Homestand:

G AB R H BB 2B HR RBI Avg. SLG OBP
6  18  6  10  3   2   5   10  .556 1.500 .636

"Gratified but not gloating"

"Greg Dobbs, who was sent down by Seattle last month, went 2-for-4 and is hitting .455 with the Rainiers."

"Jeff Culpepper of Woodinville has started his pro career where he left off in college.  After 11 games he is leading the Boise Hawks with a .333 average & .467 on base %.  He got his first pro home run this week ( a 2 run HR in the bottom of the 7th to tie the game which Boise won in the bottom of the 9th).  He also has a .459 slugging % and has stolen 3 bases."

"Clinton's Emerson Frostad finished second in the league's annual home run derby before Tuesday's Midwest League All-Star Game in Peoria, Ill. "

Suzy Allman for The New York Times

Aaron Heilman (98 MVP)  After some deliberation, the Mets announced that Aaron  would indeed get Sunday's start against the Cardinals. Heilman had another decent outing Monday.
