Dbacks MiLB Round-Up 7/25: Westbrook Making Waves

Visalia's Jamie Westbrook is one of the organization's somewhat overlooked prospects. The 20-year-old second baseman is having a fine season in the California League and is demonstrating a fairly wide range of skills for his age. He's showing some pop (10 home runs), some speed (11 steals), some plate discipline (16% K rate). He does not appear on the Dbacks own Top 20 prospects list, but there's about 10 guys on that list I would not trade Westbrook for. I think he deserves some due and he should be watched closely going forward.
