Sleeper Alert!
Trayvon Robinson, OF, Dodgers (High-A Inland Empire)
Wednesday's stats: 2-for-5, 3B, HR (13), 2 RBI, K
A tenth-round pick in 2005 out of Crenshaw High in south-central Los Angeles, the same school that produced Darryl Strawberry, Robinson has been slow to develop, as he arrived as a raw athlete with a long way to go in becoming a baseball player. Sometimes those players just suddenly click, and Robinson is doing exactly that this year, with a .309/.377/.500 line that includes career high totals in the walk (46) and stolen base (41) columns. One additional note: It's hard to find players who actually hate their nickname, yet Robinson has achieved that goal, as teammates have nicknamed him "Seal" due to his facial resemblance to the pop star.
