A couple of notes:
With his big week, John Hattig has moved to the very top of the Sea Dogs productivity. He leads in OBP, SLG, OPS, GPA, Runs Created, and RC/27 outs used. He is, however, only third on the outs list. Note that two guys (Kenny Perez and Mike O'Keefe) show up on the "outs" leaders without appearing on other lists. One is the starting shortstop, which might be expected. But Mike O'Keefe is a 1B/OF type, who should be producing more bang for the buck.

Perez is next-to-last in RC/27, with 2.8 (catcher Edgar Martinez is last at 1.4). This also is not unusual considering their defensive positions. For the record, O'Keefe is 7th with 11 RC, and tied for 8th with 4.4 RC/27.

At age 25, Jeff Bailey is a little old for this league, but his hot start should at least have him in the running for a promotion to Pawtucket next year (especially if Shoppach or Dominique end up in Boston). He can catch, and a lot of catchers seem to develop as hitters later in their careers. If he keeps it up, Bailey could have a career as a backup in the bigs.

Jesus Medrano is the only guy on the Sea Dogs currently listed among the top 12 Red Sox position prospects. John Hattig was on the list at the beginning of the season, and if he keeps swinging the bat he'll end up back on the list. If the Sox trade Youkilis to fill a need later in the season, I would think that Hattig would move up a notch, too, as the top 3B in the high minors.

All stats are from Baseball America, except formulas noted by hyperlinks above that I borrowed elsewhere.
