Week 7 Hero of the Week

It was an off week for the Heroes but they got through the Barnacles 9-5. 1B Joey Votto powered the team with a .458avg, 1HR 1RBI, 1Run, and 4BB. The Heros have not lost in 7 match up yet this season.

Week 7 Little Hero of the Week

JOSE FERNANDEZ, RHP MARLINS Team: low Class A Greensboro (South Atlantic) Age: 19 Why He's Here: 2-0, 0.00, 2 GS, 12 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 20 Ks. The Scoop: It may not be Dylan Bundy's 0.00 ERA in the Sally League, but take that away and Jose Fernandez has been as good as a young pitcher can be expected to be in his first full pro season. The righthander improved to 5-0, 1.67 with a 12 strikeout, one-walk outing at Delmarva. Interestingly, it would have been a matchup against Bundy if not for Bundy's recent promotion to high Class A Frederick. Fernandez's latest gem came after his previous start was washed away by a rain delay—he had struck out three batters in the first. Thanks to Fernandez's 93-96 mph fastball and a nasty curveball, righthanders don't get much of a chance to do damage against him. He has allowed one extra-base hit all year to a righthander, a double by Cutter Dysktra.

Week 6 Little Hero of the Week

SP Barret Loux has been named little Hero of the week. He doesn't get the same fanfare that Profar does, but Loux is now 9-0, 2.50 and sports a 48-15 K-BB ratio in 50 innings. Drafted sixth overall by the Diamondbacks in 2010, in part because he accepted a below-market $2 million bonus, Loux saw that deal evaporate when he failed a physical. After MLB made him a free agent, he signed with Texas for $312,000. He has a ceiling as a No. 3 or 4 starter, and so far he's on course toward making that a reality.

Week 6 Hero of the Week

The Heroes win another week and were lead by OF Carlos Lee .407 2HR 6RBI 1.115OPS

Week 5 Hero of the Week

The Heroes have not lost through the first 5 weeks to start a season for the 1st time in there history. With the hot start many players have played well to get there, week 5 was no different 5 different Heroes had OPS over 1.200, 7 different Heroes had HR and 4 of them went deep at least twice. That being said the Hero of the week is 2B Dustin Pedroia, he had 11 hits and 4BB as well as a team leading 8R, 9RBI, and 1SB.

Early Season Top 10 Hero Prospects

1. SP Jose Fernandez, talk of him being top 50 overall next season 2. SP Casey Kelly, was rolling in the PCL before a minor injury has sidelined him 3. SP John Lamp, almost down rehabbing from TJ, was a top 50 prospect when he went down. 4. SP Sonny Gray, should make Oak big league team by next year, pitching well in AA. 5. SP Robert Stephenson, yet to pitch this year 6. SP Kyle Crick, soaring up the rankings, drawing alot of Matt Cain comps, good chance to be top 100 next season 7. RP Tanner Scheppers, gots his mojo back this season, looks healthy. 8. OF AJ Pollack, hit .320 in AAA before getting the call to the big league team. 9. SP Barrett Loux, very under rated, over a k per inning last year in +A and has carried that over into AA so far. 10 OF Josh Sale, he stayed in Spring Training reworking his swing and it looks to have payed off with sooner then expect 1st taste of full season ball.
