**No Pepper** Hot Thirty
				Updated 8/1/2004
Rank	Name	Position	Team	Comments
1	Andy Marte	3B	Greenville	Back with a vengance after missing time with an ankle injury.
2	Jose Capellan	RHP	Richmond	Myrtle Beach to Richmond in the span of four months - not too shabby.
3	Dan Meyer	LHP	Richmond	Solid, if unspectacular since arriving in Richmond.  Still love the future.
4	Kyle Davies	RHP	Greenville	Opened some eyes with his nasty stuff in Double-A.
5	Jeff Francoeur	OF	Myrtle Beach	Injury knocks him down a bit, but he is still my number two prospect in the organization.
6	Anthony Lerew	RHP	Myrtle Beach	As consistent as they come - freakish almost.  Oh yeah, except for that last outing.
7	Chuck James	LHP	Rome	Really, really needs to be in Myrtle Beach,but it doesn't look like it's going to happen this season.
8	Jake Stevens	LHP	Rome	Been hit hard two out of his last three outings, but still impressive overall.
9	Ryan Langerhans	OF	Richmond	Langer is putting up some very impressive numbersin Triple-A.
10	Brian McCann	C	Myrtle Beach	A minor injury has slowed him down, but what's not to like here?
11	Matt Esquivel	OF	Rome	Suspension didn't seem to hurt his bat.  .910 OPS, .240 ISO.
12	James Jurries	1B	Richmond	No power shortage here - 24 homers leads the organization.
13	Adam Stern	OF	Greenville	Playing some fantastic baseball for Greenville.  Set to join the Canadian Olympic team this month.
14	Bill McCarthy	OF	Richmond	Hit the ground running in Richmond and hasn't stopped since.
15	Blaine Boyer	RHP	Myrtle Beach	Doesn't allow a ton of hits, but K/BB ratio leaves a bit to be desired.
16	Jarrod Saltalamacchia	C	Rome	Wrist injury no longer a problem.  He has been raking over the past couple of weeks.
17	Macay McBride	LHP	Greenville	Extremely solid in relief duty, although I'd still like to see him get back in the rotation before to long.
18	Kelly Johnson	OF	Greenville	Swung the bat well in July.  Up to .276/.245/.480 with 13 homers on the season.
19	Matt Wright	RHP	Myrtle Beach	Solid stats across the board.  Could cut down on the walks just a hair.
20	Steve Doetsch	OF	Rome	Still hitting fairly well, and still striking out too much.  Better eye than Esquivel or Burrus though.
21	Zach Miner	RHP	Greenville	Experiencing the ups and downs of Double-A, but has been better of late.
22	Pete Orr	IF	Richmond	Could challenge for a utility spot next season if he keeps this up.
23	Martin Prado	2B	Rome	.324/.372/.435 from the second sacker - I'll take it.
24	Josh Burrus	OF	Rome	Solid bounceback season continues.  Poor batting eye should put him further down the lineup.
25	Gonzalo Lopez	RHP	Myrtle Beach	Injuries have put him on the DL temporarily, but is making a strong push to get back to The Beach.
26	Jo Jo Reyes	LHP	Rome	Joins Lopez on the Rome DL.  Needs to cut down on the long balls when he returns - 10 so far in 74 IP.
27	Tony Pena	SS	Greenville	He may be able to pick it, but I'm still not sold on the bat.
28	Scott Thorman	1B	Greenville	Hasn't quite grasped Double-A yet, but I'm not too worried at this point.
29	Onil Jospeh	OF	Myrtle Beach	Minor injury has slowed him down, but soild K/BB ratio of 1.60 keeps him at the top of the order.
30	Carl Loadenthal	OF	Danville	24 walks vs. 15 strikeouts in 129 at-bats.  10 stolen bases vs. 1 caught stealing.  I'd say that's pretty good.
