Dodgers Minor League Baseball Blog

The Lookouts won their division and with that, they had their share of hitting stars.  Here are the best players on the team this past season.

Scott Van Slyke – Van Slyke led the team in home runs (20), RBIs (92), walks (65) and OPS (1.022).  He’s struggling in the Venezuelan Summer League though and he’s now 25 so his prospect status isn’t quite clear. Still, he had an awesome season and if he can replicate it in 2012, he might see some time with the Dodgers next year.

Alfredo Silverio – Silverio was an extra base machine and he finished with 42 doubles, 18 triples and 16 home runs.  He hit .306 and he finished with a team high 90 runs.  He only walked 30 times though and that suppressed his .883 OPS. Don’t get me wrong, that’s a good number but it could be better if he works on his plate discipline.

Kyle Russell – Russell was second in home runs with 19 but he hit only .259 so his OPS was .840.  He had a decent enough showing in the Arizona Fall League but he’s already 25 so we’ll see how much more time Russell has.
