Interesting set of "2b".
Gibson had a good Rookie ball in 2008, and
a better year in A ball at Lowell in 2009.
Gibson could be in Salem, VA (A+) or Portland, ME (AA) or higher by next years end (2010) and later.
Hoes had a good 2008 in Rookie ball, and
a good year in A ball 2009 at Del Marva.
Hoes may start at A ball out of spring training and be promoted to Frederick, MD (A+) or higher by next years end.
Buchholz had an outstanding 2008 in Rookie ball, and was promoted to A+ at Sarasota after the start of the 2009 season. Buchholz should start at A+ ball out of spring training in 2010 and could be promoted to Carolina (AA) or higher, should power numbers improve and strike outs reduced.
I must follow this up with a local Maryland 2b that is moving along in MiLB quite nicely. Shane Justis With five years of MiLB under his belt, 1400+ Career AB's, a consistent Career BA of .279, a bunch of RBI's, Justis will see AAA (Nashville) in 2011 and maybe from ST in 2010. And I might add, can flat out play 2b, yet can util at 3b and SS!
