2005 stats: [AAA] .293 BA/ .363 OBP/ .524 SLG [DET] .318 BA/ .348 OBP/ .773 SLG
2005 Club: Toledo/Detroit ETA in Majors: 2005 Preseason Rank: 50
Granderson continues to quietly get it done in his first season of Triple-A. At least the Tigers noticed; Granderson played very well in a six-game callup in July.

2005 Club: Buffalo (Triple-A) ETA in Majors: 2006 Preseason Rank: --
This guy was just born to hit; Garko keeps improving each month in Buffalo. Look for him at a big league park near you by September.

2005 Club: Erie/Toledo ETA in Majors: 2006 Preseason Rank: --
He's 20, he leads the Minor Leagues in strikeouts, he pitched in the Futures Game and seems to have no problem with Triple-A (.208 batting average against). Need I say more?

2005 Club: Memphis/St. Louis ETA in Majors: 2005 Preseason Rank: --

2005 Club: Philadelphia/Scranton ETA in Majors: 2006 Preseason Rank: 14
Scouts still like his stuff -- and he's still only 22 -- but the results have been confounding. He was much better in July, though, and can salvage the season with a strong finish.

2005 Club: Daytona (A Advanced) ETA in Majors: 2007 Preseason Rank: 40
It's been an up-and-down season for the slugging first baseman, with his power taking an FSL hit as he struggles late in the year.
