    Hi Doc,

    I know you usually do a "Down on the Farm" segment and I don't want to steal your thunder, but I happened to be checking league stats just now and noticed Tommy Joseph had another good game last night, including a homer. He is now tied for 2nd in the Sally League in RBI behind a 24yr old and a 22yr old. He is tied with Wilmer Flores, an equally precocious 18yr old, who is a highly rated prospect in the Mets system. It should be noted that Flores has already had a couple of years in minor league ball, unlike T Joe who is getting his first taste of pro ball now. T Joe is also among the league leaders in HR and has a very respectable OBP. I don't know how he is doing defensively, but if the Giants are serious about developing him as a hitter, a move to first base and to San Jose could be a possibility later this season.

    John Sickels of Minor League Baseball just wrote some good stuff about Wilson, basically what has been reported here, plus a video link: http://www.minorleagueball.com/2010/4/30/1452824/interesting-high-school-hitters
