Wes Bankston

Minor League Baseball: Stats: Stats

The starting 1B for the Montgomery Biscuits of the Southern League got off to a late start due to a knee injury. When he recovered the DRays assinged him to High A where he clearly demonstrated an ability that was unchallenged - .387/.513/.629.

He was promoted to AA and has gotten off to an impressive start - .316/.393/.544.

He hit 3 HR in 62 High A ABs and has 3 in 79 AA ABs. His plate discipline has suffered in the upward move going from 15 BB/62 ABs to 10/79 ABs, but I suspect he will further improve in AA.

He is a player to watch for next year's minor league drafts. Heck, he may be one to keep an eye on for a September call-up. Travis Lee is not the long-term answer.
