Sunnyside and PCC grad Stefen Romero was named to the All-Pacific Coast League team for hitting .311 with 21 homers and 84 RBI for the Tacoma Rainers this season. He has since been recalled by Seattle, although he had just 17 at-bats through Friday. Other than Romero and Orozco, the top Tucson-affiliated prospects in the minors were probably identified last week when ex-Sahuaro outfielder Alex Verdugo, and former UA players Scott Kingery, Brandon Dixon, Willie Calhoun and James Farris all were added to Arizona Fall League rosters.
