The news isn't as good for prospects at AA Nashville, where that team continues to struggle to win ball games and has very poor overall morale. Former 1st round pick Jaden Francis continues to be a largely ineffective minor league pitcher though the scouting staff continues to believe that he will put it together at some point to become a solid major league bullpen piece.
Jose Careaga, considered the top prospect for the team at thirdbase, has struggled at the plate since being promoted from single A Bainbridge earlier in the season. There is hope though that he will recapture his brilliance of the 1966 season given some time to adjust.
And outfielder Dave Manning, considered one of the better power prospects in the organization, but also thought to have questionable work ethics and plate discipline, has taken a step backwards this year, though his numbers aren't exactly horrible.
