DAVID LOUGH, OF ROYALS

Team: high Class A Wilmington (Carolina)
Age: 22
Why He's Here: .500/.542/.600 (10-for-20), 2 2B, 2 RBIs, 3 BB, 3 K, 1 SB
The Scoop: On most teams, David Lough would stand out as an athletic outfielder. But on a Wilmington team that includes Derrick Robinson, Adrian Ortiz and Paulo Orlando, all of whom are plus-plus runners, Lough looks like a scrappy overachiever, even if he is a former college football player. But unlike his three teammates in the outfield, none of whom has an OPS above .600, Lough is proving he can hit. He's hitting .341/.396/.449 this year, following up on a red-hot ending to the 2008 season at low Class A Burlington. Lough has the ability to play center field, although he's a corner outfielder with the Blue Rocks roster of speedsters, but his hitting ability could enable him to stand out from his fellow outfielders, even if he may finish last in a 60-yard dash.

It's like Little League.

Each guy has to play at least one inning in every game… they just rotate them.
