Prospect Watch: Matt LaPorta

The last time we checked in on the Brewers' top prospect, Matt LaPorta, he was absolutely raking for Double-A Huntsville. What's he doing now? Absolutely raking for Double-A Huntsville. LaPorta is hitting .314 with a .426 on base percentage, and an outstanding 1.048 OPS. He also has 11 dingers and 39 RBI's. Defensively he has yet to commit an error and he has been named Southern League Player of the Week twice already.

The Huntsville lineup is downright nasty and LaPorta is the top guy in it. Expect him to move up to Triple-A Nashville around the All-Star break. I would also expect to see him selected for the Future's Game that goes on All-Star weekend.
