Made Baseball America's Prospect Hot Sheet today. In at #3.

Quote:
No. 3 BOBBY BORCHERING, 3B DIAMONDBACKS
Team: low Class A South Bend (Midwest)
Age: 19
Why He's Here: .517/.563/.897 (15-for-29), 9 R, 3 2B, 1 3B, 2 HR, 9 RBIs, 2 BB, 4 SO
The Scoop: The Diamondbacks were loaded with top picks in the 2009 draft, including five picks before the second round. Their top pick was Borchering, the 16th overall selection out of high school in Florida. The early returns were shaky, as the powerful switch-hitter wasn't doing much of any hitting. That changed this week, when Borchering had the best week of his pro career. He's had a multi-hit game in his last five games and homered for the second straight day yesterday, bringing him up to .277/.340/.422 in 104 games.

We have a lot to think about as an organization. We have 3 guys in MR, BB, and MD who play the same position, but who will be our long term 3B and what do we do with the other 2?

As much as I am a fan of MR27, I would like to see what BB?? can do.

Assuming Davidson and Borchering both continue to progress, it's a good problem to have. Let's wait until they're at least a little closer to major league ready before we worry about what to do, though.

Yeah - those guys are still in A ball. Noone is close to blocking anyone at this point. Let these guys stew in the minors for a while.

Itd be just awesome depth if both Borchering and Davidson turn into the top prospects we expect them to become and Reynolds develops into one of the top ML 3rd basemen. That would give us good trade stock and make building a stronger roster easier.

And..don't forget there's highly regarded R. Wheeler and P. Goldschmidt at Visalia who also play the corner positions(Goldy other side, but it's been talked about BB or MD playing 1B as well). There's definitely some depth at the corner positions and certainly provides trade possibilities. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. No doubt Borchering will be pegged for a spot...but what about the other guys?
