- Daniel Zappala forwarded this Salt Lake
Tribune article about Dallas McPherson:
Counting Sunday, the Bees have gone deep eight times in their last three games. Even shortstop Casey Smith, who drove in two runs, joined the party, homering over the left field wall in the first inning.
But people were still buzzing about the rocket shot McPherson launched over the batter's eye in center field, 420 feet away from home plate.
According to eyewitnesses, the ball, which appeared like it was never returning to Earth, smacked against the iron fencing that separates the Franklin Covey Field property line from a bank - approximately 500 feet.
It was the second consecutive game that the Greensboro, N.C., native crushed a long ball.
Major League scouts watching McPherson were impressed.
"He's swinging free," said one scout. "You can tell his back isn't hurting him."
- No Angels or Dodgers prospect appears on the Baseball America Minor League Player of the Year update.
- BA also has their AFL Preview up (RR), with Scott Elbert of the Dodgers taking the "Top Prospect" honor for the Mesa Solar Sox, and the Angels' Terry Evans (Scottsdale Scorpions) winning the "Emerging" category. "This fall might mean more to Evans' career than any other player heading to Arizona," writes Chris Kline, which translates to "needs to show his 2006 wasn't a fluke".
- From BA's Prospect Hot Sheet:
10. Josh Bell, 3b, Rookie-level Ogden (Dodgers)
It was a big week for the fourth-rounder in 2005. Bell, 19, went 10-for-17 with three homers and 14 RBIs. He is now second in the Pioneer League in home runs (12) and slugging percentage (.579). - Offensive Players of the Week: Tydus Meadows, for Jacksonville; Josh Bell, Ogden; no Angels.
- Pitchers of the Week: Jeremy Haynes, Orem; no Dodgers.
- Weekly Notebooks: PCL (Bees, 51's); Texas League (Travs); Southern League (Suns); Cal League (Quakes); Florida State League (Vero Beach Dodgers); Midwest League (Kernels); Sally League (Catfish); Pioneer League (Owlz, Raptors).

Is there no Justis? There sure was tonight, as Shane Justis bludgeoned a two-run shot in the bottom of the second, all the scoring the Dodgers would need, though they went on to post another one in that frame, four more in the fourth (three on an Eloy Gutierrez triple), and one in the bottom of the sixth on a Russell Mitchell solo homer. Adam Thomas posted five scoreless frames; the only scoring play for Daytona was an unearned run in the sixth thanks to a throwing error by Justis.
