Minor League Report for 7/6
New Orleans 6 Iowa 4 - Jae Kuk Ryu got only 1 out before being injured fielding a grounder in the first inning, while Felix Pie added his 2nd consecutive multi-hit game going 2-4 and adding a stolen base and a caught stealing and he now has 7 stolen bases in 16 attempts. Michael Restovich provided some pop, going 1-4 and adding his 13th HR of the year with a 3 run HR in the 1st.
Chattanooga 8 West Tennessee 6 - The D-Jaxx scored 6 runs in the 3rd but couldn't manage another run, despite the game going 13 innings. Brandon Sing hit a grandslam in the 3rd and went 1-6 with the HR and a walk and 3 strikeouts. Brian Dopirak appears to be working out of his funk, going 2-7 with a run and a RBI. Eric Patterson added a 3 hit effort, going 3-7 although he did get picked off, while leadoff man Chris Walker went 2-4 with 3 walks and 2 doubles and a steal of 3rd base, his 33rd on the year.
St. Lucie 8 Daytona 4 - Jemel Spearman had another nice game, going 3-4 with a double raising his numbers on the year to 280/375/385. Spearman is a tall, lanky, left-handed outfielder and is quite athletic, but is probably out of the range as a prospect. Ryan Harvey is still battling to come out of his struggles, going 1-4 with a run scored and a RBI but did throw out a runner at the plate. Harvey's numbers are currently 204/243/323.
Peoria 3 Clinton 1 - Scott Taylor (4-4) took the win going 6 innings, giving up 1 ER, 6 hits, 3 walks and struck out 1 lowering his ERA to 3.26, while Matt Avery came in to pitch the 9th, earning his 6th save of the year with a perfect inning. At the plate, Ryan Norwood went 2-4 with a SB, while Jesus Valdez went 2-4 with a solo HR, his 4th of the year.
Boise 6 Tri-City 3 - Mike Billek (1-0) who has already struggled at Peoria and Daytona this season earned a win for Boise by going 5.1 IP, 6 hits, 3 ER, 1 walk, and 2 strikeouts. At the plate, Tyler Colvin went 1-3 with 2 walks and Josh Lansford went 2-3 with a walk and 2 runs.
Notes: Baseball America has posted their weekly Prospect Hot Sheet, and this week 2 Cubs show, one for his success and one for his struggles.

Nope, I wouldn't bet on seeing Colvin to 2008 at the earliest. The Cubs liked the combination of Colvin's projectability and his polished approach at the plate, something most of their projects don't have.
So far he isn't exactly lighting it up at Boise but he is getting adjusted to wood bats, which is a big adjustment.
The best cased scenario would be that he catches fire, and finishes the season at either Peoria or Daytona. Starts in A ball, jumps to West Tennessee and then to the Cubs for a September callup at the end of 2007.
That scenario is highly unlikely.

Sorry, don't know much about Zimmerman. Maybe others do?
