I got to see Andy Gonzalez last week, playing for Huntsville when they were in town to play the Barons.

In AA and AAA, it's basically only Kuhn and McPherson.

 

Neither players are going to make much of an impact with the major league team, barring a minor miracle.

Lillibridge is the best bet for this season, scarily enough.

 

 

For the time being, our best middle infield prospect is probably Carlos Sanchez, who's also arguably not going to be much of a threat to challenge an 800 OPS at the major league level.

 

And he's only 19 and at least 2 full season away, if not 2 1/2.

 

Probably the only way to add impact players at those positions is trading Floyd, Thornton, Crain...with the money due Matt and Jesse, it's hard to expect a premium infield bat back for either one. Unless AJ continues to hit out his mind and a starting catcher on a pennant contender goes down for the season, it's hard to imagine getting much back for him, either.

 

KW would end up acquiring a gaggle of right handed minor league pitchers for those guys.
