Wes Hodges is off to a good start in AA ball for the Cleveland Indians
I have been scouring the minor league system of the Indians looking for hitting help. The AAA team is pretty barren of hitting but 23-year old righty swinging 3B Wes Hodges is off to a good start in AA. Hodges is the #4 prospect in the Indians’ minor league system according to the Baseball America Prospect Handbook. Hodges has played in 60 games in AA ball this season and he is 70 for 224 (.313 avg, .837 OPS) with 30 runs scored, 7 homers and 47 RBIs. Hodges is probably on the fast track to Cleveland but he won’t make it this season unless the Indians’ keep falling in the standings and they have a fire sale and move Casey Blake. Look for Hodges to get promoted to AAA soon as the Buffalo Bisons can’t hit either.
