FARM REPORT v. 2
October 11, 2009
Another season means another year of waiting for the best and brightest on the farm to spring up to the majors.

TITLE TOWN...
We all know the Oregon Emeralds are seeking their second straight World Series title, but there is actually a team looking for a three-peat - the Class A Galesburg Steamrollers. The Streamrollers have won the past two Class A titles, but this season came up short. The Cape Cod Tourists, the new Class A club of the Orlando Tourists, won the league title, snapping their run, as they finished in second.

So who picked up the slack? The Wenatchee (WA) Wranglers, the Emeralds Class AA club won the AL Double-A title this season, their second straight crown.

If that wasn't enough, the AAA Vancouver Canadians tied for the AAA title this year, giving the Ems their sixth minor league championship overall.

"We're delighted to see our teams doing well, it just shows how good a job our scouting department has done finding talent players for our organization year in and year out," said Dark Cloud.

AND MOSES LEAD THEM...
The Arizona Diamondbacks are hoping Matt Moses can lead them back to a World Series title. Signed as a free agent in 2004, this guy has taken his time through the system. He spent four years in A-ball, 2 years in Double A and after a few games in AAA this year and a whole year there last season, the D-Backs brought him up to the majors. In 48 games in the big show, he hit .411 with 3 homers and 13 RBI.

"We're excited about the potential for Matt on our club", said DBacks manager Jeff Bagwell.

HE-MAN, MASTER OF THE GREAT PLAINS
Lawrence Henslee has spent the past two years destroying AAA pitching. He has 136 RBI in over the past two seasons in AAA and should be ready to pounce on Major League pitching next season.

"He's awesome to watch", said Tony Perez, manager of the Great Plains Express. In batting practice, Henslee, called "He-Man" by his peers is known for towering shots. "This guy hits 'em where they ain't", said Carlos Delgado, who has been throughout his career for doing the same thing.

Look for He-Man coming to a ballpark near you next season.
