BA Prospect Hot Sheet

Who's hot?

20. Cole Rohrbough, lhp, Rookie-level Danville (Braves)

Striking out more than one batter per inning in each of his previous four starts, Rohrbough followed that up with 11 strikeouts in six innings July 13, and another 11 strikeout performance Thursday in five innings. The 2006 22nd rounder from Western Nevada Community College, one of this year's highest-profile draft-and-follow signees, has used a fastball that has touched 94 and a power spike curveball with excellent depth and a changeup to record 42 strikeouts and just six walks in 25.1 innings.

Who's not?
Eric Campbell, 3b, high Class A Myrtle Beach (Braves)

It's not often that we get repeat showings in this category, but Campbell's .130/.213/.217 July average certainly justifies a second straight "Not Hot" listing. A 2004 second-round pick out of an Indiana high school, Campbell has yet to play his way to Double-A in his third full pro season and appears to be in Myrtle Beach for the long term with a .210/.293/.374 overall average.

Cole Rohrbough

And in response to the hot sheet hype he goes 5 perfect innings with 10k, lowering his era to .59. I guess that is impressive.

Campbell.

What on Earth happened to this guys??? Does anyone know? It's like he woke up one morning, saw Yunel playing 3B and Kelly at 2B, realize he's blocked forever and his career just died! Some people thought he was an amazing prospect, but this year has been just awful. To tell you the truth, I'm quite concerned about our farm's depth at this point.
