Connor Phillips leads all of Minor League Baseball in strikeouts

This week's Prospect Team of the Week is full of the AA Southern League. RHP Connor Phillips of the Cincinnati Reds leads all of minor league baseball in strikeouts, and has to be looking at a move to AAA (or MLB) soon. LHP DJ Herz (Chicago Cubs) had a good week, but does it really erase his relief risk?

Tampa Bay got two infielders on the team in 1B Xavier Isaac and 2B Jonathan Aranda, to go along with repeat catcher Dillon Dingler (Detroit Tigers), SS Jett Williams (New York Mets), and 3B Coby Mayo (Baltimore Orioles).

In the outfield, Dominic Canzone (Arizona Diamondbacks) keeps making the case for a call-up in the desert, but the deck's stacked against him. Spencer Jones (New York Yankees) has improved the swing and miss somewhat, while Tirso Ornelas (San Diego Padres) is still searching for the power in AA
