Lehigh Valley
Brian Bogusevic, 31, Signed as a free agent in 2015; 254 AB’s; .311/.367/.437; 6HR 31RBI; 11/14SB; 8%BB/17%K rates; .270 vs LHP; .328 vs RHP; .298 last 30 days; .304 with RISP; 60 games in the OF; 3 assists; 0 errors; 2.23 R/F. Bogusevic has been far and away the best player in the Lehigh Valley lineup day in and day out. He has consistently hit for average, shown some power and decent speed along with playing a very good OF. He has a July 1 opt out, which I would be surprised if he doesn’t take as it seems clear he wont be getting a chance with the big club. His opt out may coincide with his selection to the IL all star team.
Jordan Danks, 28, Signed as a free agent in 2014; .241/.286/.292 in 212 AB’s; 1HR 22RBI; 2/4SB; 6%BB/28%K rates; .298 vs. LHP; .219 vs RHP; .227 last 30 days; .321 with RISP; 54 games in the OF with 2 assists and 2 errors (.983); 2.19R/F. Danks was given a spot on the 40 man in the off season and has done little to impress. With Altherr and Dugan knocking on the AAA door, a Bogusevic opt out is what may save his roster spot.
Note: Danks and Bogusevic are the only two active IronPigs who have played the majority of their games in the OF.

Aaron Altherr, 24, Phils 9th round pick in 2009; .292/.369/.478 in 226AB’s; 6HR 29RBI; 8/11SB; 11%BB/16%K rates; .308 vs LHP; .287 vs RHP;.321 with last 30 days; .276 with RISP; 57 games in the OF without an error; 3 OF assists; 2.14 R/F. Altherr has improved in his areas of weakness and is at a place where he can’t do much more in AA. With 700 AA plate appearances, it is time for him to move up.
