Juan Miranda owns
a .253 average with 4 home runs
and 14 RBI in 46 games over parts of three seasons with the Yankees and hit .219 with 3 home runs and 10 RBI in
33 games with the big league club this season. In 80 games with Triple-A
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Miranda batted .285 with15 home runs and 43 RBI.
Over parts of four
seasons in the Yankees' farm system, Miranda has a .281 average with
230 runs scored, 101 doubles, 8 triples, 62 home runs, and 273 RBI in 423 games.
He's posted an OPS over .860 for two straight years at the Triple-A level and
has earned a callup to the majors in each of the past three seasons, but the
native Cuban turns 28 in April and has yet to prove that he can handle major
league pitching. Miranda was signed by the Yankees as a non-drafted free agent on December.
22, 2006, and will be given an opportunity to be the D-backs' everyday first
baseman in 2011.
Scottie Allen
compiled a 5-4 record and 3.95 ERA with 29 walks and 95
strikeouts over 95.2 innings pitched over parts of two seasons in the D-backs
organization. He posted a 4-4 record and 4.73 ERA (41 ER in 78.0 IP) with 22
walks and 79 strikeouts in 16 starts with Low-A South Bend this season, very
impressive numbers considering that he only turned 19 that July.
Selected by the D-backs in the 11th round of the 2009 First-Year Player
Draft, Allen was approximately a fifth-round talent who fell in the draft due to
signability concerns. He had a fastball and changeup coming out of the
draft, but has since added a slider and changeup that are already very advanced
for his age. He was the second-most-promising right-handed pitcher in the farm
system to elite prospect Jarrod Parker prior to the trade.
