Decker & Forsythe on BA PHS

Baseball America, busy from 2009 draft stuff, veered away from its normal weekly Prospect Hot Sheet schedule and ranked how the 2008 draftees are doing…

Padres’ Jaff Decker ranked #2 on their list saying, “Decker leads the MWL in on-base percentage and ranks fourth in slugging, as he's had no trouble converting his plus raw power to game power (that's eight home runs in 39 games).”

They go on to suggest that Decker could be in line for another MVP trophy…

Padres’ Logan Forsythe showed up in their honorable mention “In The Team Photo” category and has, “…had no problems handling the California League. Forsythe, 22, is hitting .327/.475/.540 with eight home runs in 202 at-bats, leading the league in on-base percentage and ranking seventh in average.”
