RF Jimmy Hairston (#82 Overall)
Acquired: Via Draft: 4th Round, 61st Overall (1943)
AA: .318/.386/.441 (113 OPS+), 539 PA, 32 2B, 4 3B, 6 HR, 63 RBI, SB
A: .357/.378/.629 (166 OPS+), 74 PA, 3 2B, 2 3B, 4 HR, 81 RBI, SB
CWL: .304/.396/.519 (128 OPS+), 91 PA, 2 2B, 5 HR, 16 RBI

Once again, about all that went well for Santa Clara is Jimmy Hairston. Sure, the Stallions are now 5-14 and tied with the Cienfuegos Crocodiles for last, but it's another great week for our young outfielder. Hairston went 4-for-13 with a homer, 3 RBIs, 4 runs, and 8 walks to up his season line to .304/.396/.519 (128 OPS+) in 19 games. The 22-year-old leads the Stallions in average, hits (24), homers, and RBIs, and if there was an MVP award for the team, him or the Eagles' Ralph Cobb (.293, 4, 11) would be the vote. And for our players, Bob Schmelz (.237, 3, 13) has really cooled off, Dick Garcia (1-2, 9.93, 10) has allowed more runs then innings, and Rupert Heinbaugh (.177, 2) is hitting like a pitcher. Art Goins' (.284, 2, 7, 1) 20-to-6 walk-to-strikeout ratio is keeping him in the running, and Don Jeppsen (.274, 2, 10) has been somewhat useful, but Hairston has been the only one of our guys to really show promise this winter. It would have been nice to have some other highly touted prospect joining him, but this is big for his development.
