One in particular should draw serious interest from other organizations. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/814530.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/814530.html Sat, 22 Nov 2008 16:32:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks How do you dethrone a player that has flirted with a .400 batting average from the top spot of the FutureBacks Power Rankings, which detail the 45 hottest prospects in the Arizona Diamondbacks organization? Well, flirting with an .800 slugging average is a good start. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/767532.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/767532.html Mon, 07 Jul 2008 18:28:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks The FutureBacks Power Rankings expand to the 30 hottest prospects in the organization, as for the first time ever, we include Dominican Summer League players on our list. Also, for the first time his year, someone other than Max Scherzer ranks #1. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/760889.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/760889.html Mon, 09 Jun 2008 22:09:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks How does a position player who is too old for his level become a top 50 Arizona Diamondbacks prospect? By batting .323 with a .433 OBP and improving defensively at a premium position. Here is our full scouting report on Frank Curreri. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/712451.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/712451.html Tue, 18 Dec 2007 08:14:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks There were several Visalia players that either succeeded after being promoted from Lo-A ball or earned a promotion to Double-A and beyond through early season domination. Two players remained productive with the Oaks throughout 2007 and earn PoY honors. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/692827.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/692827.html Sat, 20 Oct 2007 19:41:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks Catcher Frank Curreri went 3-for-4 with two homers and three RBI to help the Visalia Oaks stave off elimination against the San Jose Giants. Curreri spoke with FutureBacks after the game about his big day. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/678499.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/678499.html Tue, 11 Sep 2007 19:32:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks Brett Anderson has gotten the call to Hi-A ball and continued his dominance in his first start. The 19-year old southpaw allowed just one run over four innings of work Tuesday night. Brett sat down with FutureBacks before the game and discussed the promotion. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/654526.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/654526.html Tue, 26 Jun 2007 07:02:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks The Arizona Diamondbacks have avoided selecting high school players in the early rounds of recent drafts, but the performance of 2006 second-rounder Brett Anderson could alter that philosophy. Through his first eleven pro starts, the 19-year old has gone 6-3 with a 2.07 ERA and a 68:7 strikeout-to-walk ratio. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/648896.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/648896.html Mon, 04 Jun 2007 17:46:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks It's so much more difficult to scout high school players than those in college. High school competition varies so much that when a pitcher makes a hitter look foolish, it doesn't necessarily mean anything. But now that Brett Anderson is making pro hitters who are 2-5 years older than him look silly against his breaking stuff, we know that he is the real deal. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/648895.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/648895.html Mon, 04 Jun 2007 17:35:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks With Frank Curreri's promotion to Visalia last week, catcher Justin Brashear has seen his playing time increase with the Silver Hawks, and his offensive numbers have improved as a result. But even though Justin has reached base in half of his plate appearances this month, defense remains his primary focus. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/645918.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/645918.html Tue, 22 May 2007 18:30:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks A 24-year old catcher stuck in a three-way platoon at low-A, Frank Curreri's prospects for moving up in the Arizona Diamondbacks organization did not look good. But the tall catcher got the majority of the at bats in South Bend and had a torrid first half of May, earning himself a promotion to Hi-A Visalia on Monday. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/643932.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/643932.html Mon, 14 May 2007 21:50:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks After beginning the season with a 1-9 record and three game postponements, the South Bend Silver Hawks have won six of their last eight games, and five of their past six. Friday night's epic battle may have been the most exciting game of the season for the Arizona Diamondbacks' Low-A affiliate. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/639512.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/639512.html Sat, 28 Apr 2007 08:53:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks Catcher Richard Mercado can best be described as a student of the game. FutureBacks.com sat down with the knowledgeable backstop and discussed all aspects of baseball. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/639509.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/639509.html Sat, 28 Apr 2007 08:33:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks The 2007 South Bend Silver Hawks look to build upon a 2006 playoff run, and appear poised to do so with a number of exciting prospects and a handful of returning players. They begin 2007 with an 0-2 handicap, however, and a game postponed due to winter-like conditions. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/633542.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/633542.html Sat, 07 Apr 2007 17:08:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks A pitcher recovering from a torn labrum is expected to miss 7-9 months of mound time, then take another year or so to pick up again where he left off. Matt Torra took a little extra time to resume pitching after his labrum tear, but was able to work his kinks out in a flash. This ability to make adjustments will benefit Torra in his efforts to advance up the organizational ladder. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/621130.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/621130.html Wed, 28 Feb 2007 07:14:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks
