August 21, 200719 yr 19. Aaron Thompson, lhp, high Class A Jupiter (Marlins) The 20-year-old's up-and-down season certainly hit a high point on Tuesday when he tossed a seven-inning, three-hit shutout against Brevard County. The lefty, a 2005 first-round pick out of a Houston high school, struck out seven and walked two. Thompson missed most of June with an arm injury and went a combined seven innings in his first two starts back. He tossed a seven-inning two-hitter but then yielded seven runs in 10 innings over two starts before Tuesday's gem. Tonight he tosses 8ip 5h 0er 1bb 3k AT and Jupiter get the win 2-1 http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prosp...eet/264693.html
August 21, 200719 yr Surprised Volstad isn't there, considering what he's doing in AA and the fact that he was our top prospect and, iirc, decently high up the pre-season top 100 prospect list.

August 21, 200719 yr Author Volstad has been "Lights Out" since his promotion. Keep it up Chris...Were all pullin for you.
August 21, 200719 yr I know. What I meant was, that since he was high on the top 100 before, that his streak right now isn't a "fluke."

August 21, 200719 yr Nobody, as far as I know. What I meant though was that a top 100 prospect that goes on a streak is going (and should) get more attention, then a 1 star prospect because it's likely the 1 star prospect's streak is a fluke. I'm just surprised Volstad isn't getting attention.

Please......tells us what you really mean.
August 21, 200719 yr Please......tells us what you really mean. ? I think the last line in my last post summed it up.

Those hot sheets, more often than not, take teams top prospects who are dominating for the week because those are the players they already looking at, so its easier to notice. No conspiracy theories, just slightly surprised I would assume. Not surprised in a "WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY THINKING" kind of way, but more like a "hmmmm, interesting that Volstad didnt make it, maybe next week if his success continues" kinda thing. Thats my (correct) guess
