A Helluva Hullabaloo

Former Tulane star Bogusevic made Baseball Prospectus' weekly list of top prospects:

Brian Bogusevic, OF, Double-A Corpus Christi (Astros)
In the spring of 2005, Bogusevic was one of the top two-way players in the country, serving not only as Tulane's ace, but also as a tools-laden center fielder with above-average speed and power potential. A hamstring injury limited him primarily to mound duties, and the Astros took him in the first round as a power left-hander. While that didn't work out, his converting back to the outfield was something some scouts had been hoping for, as his batting practices were among the most impressive to be seen in a weak Astros chain. That conversion began in July after another brutal campaign on the mound, and it's been a smashing success. Over the weekend, Bogusevic went 7-for-11 to raise his averages to .359/.445/.553 in the Texas League, and while he had dropped well off of most Astros prospect rankings as a lefty, he's back on them—and very highly ranked—as an outfielder.

Sweet. God, I hope they call him up next week. We need hitting (and pitching) so bad. If we can just get a decent fucking hitter out of the farm system, I'll be placated until December. Please, God, let him be good. I don't know if I can take another JR Towles, not with so little hope elsewhere in the farm system. Just stop jerking us around, God. If he's bad, just make him go 0 for the rest of the season. We'll get the message. If he's good, make him blast a couple homers and get on base - that's all we ask.

Edit:

Footer over at Astros.com has said they don't plan on calling him up. That's cool, given that he only started hitting two months ago. Just one of those unrealistic fan dreams. We'll see what he's doing next year. I imagine he'll be playing fall and winter league stuff.
