Mark Zagunis made the BA hot sheet:
Ideally, Zagunis would be trying to figure out how to sand off the rough edges behind the plate, much like Kyle Schwarber is at Double-A Tennessee, but the Cubs decided he was in over his head at catcher. Playing all three outfield posts at Myrtle Beach, including a few surprising stints in center field, Zagunis has shown no problems adjusting to Carolina League pitchers. Like recently-promoted outfielder Billy McKinney, Zagunis is stating a case with more walks (29) than strikeouts (21).
