Young talent gets promoted.

Kansas City has a lot of good young offensive talent within the system, and a few of them just got promoted to AA from High A.

Ryan Ruffin a 21 year old DH gets promoted from High A after batting .312 with 13 homers and 62 rbi in 66 games. He is definitely in the future plans for KC. He has tremendous power and will be a good hitter as well.

Sam Porter is a 22 year old SS who has a ridiculous bat. This is his second promotion already this season and in 30 games in High A, he hit .338 with 46 hits and 32 runs scored. Not much "pop" in the bat, but he is a good table setter and a very patient hitter.

Miguel Santana is a 24 year old RF who will make the transition to LF because of Dean Crawford. Miguel Santana played in 54 games for High A KC, hitting .331 with 9 homers and 44 rbi. Last season he played in Rookie ball and made the leap straight to High A at the beggining of this season. He is coming along very quickly. KC would like to see him get a little more power, but as long as he's driving in runs, they'll be happy.
