MiLB PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
Isotopes' McMahon powers Players of the Week
...Ryan McMahon, 1B/2B/3B has been named the Pacific Coast League Player of the Week after going 16-for-27 (.593) with five homers, four doubles and 14 RBIs over six games for the Isotopes from June 12-18. It's his second Player of the Week honor of the season -- he also earned the award in the Eastern League from April 17-23.
McMahon essentially locked in Player of the Week during a three-game stretch from Wednesday to Friday against Fresno in Albuquerque. He went deep five times over that stretch, twice on both Thursday and Friday. Arguably his best performance came Friday, when he went 5-for-6 with two homers, two doubles and seven RBIs in a 15-14 loss.
Since joining the Isotopes, the left-handed slugger has put together a .448/.480/.806 line with five homers, nine doubles and 19 RBIs in 16 games. He opened 2-for-15 in his first four games with Albuquerque but has hits in each of his last 12 contests -- a streak in which he's hit .538...
...Jose Miguel Fernandez, 2B, .538/.556/.846, 7 G, 14-for-26, 2 2B, 2 HR, 8 RBI, 3 R, 2 K

BASEBALL PROSPECTUS
Prospect of the Weekend:
Ryan McMahon, 3B/1B/2B, Rockies (Triple-A, Albuquerque): 9-15, 3 R, 4 2B, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 2 K. After plenty of in-person looks at McMahon last summer in Hartford, I only caught him twice before his promotion, and he certainly appeared to have made strides with consistent hard contact despite an aggressive approach. That trend has continued in a brief stint at Triple-A, and when you add in some newfound defensive versatility, he could be an interesting option for a contending Rockies club down the stretch.
Friday June 16th:
JoJo Romero, RHP, Phillies (Low-A, Lakewood): 8 IP, 4 H, 0 R/ER, 0 BB, 10 K. I mentioned Romero a couple of weeks ago, citing my intrigue after seeing him in the NYPL last summer. Well, he’s at it again, and I remain intrigued.
