Sunnyside and PCC gradΒ Stefen RomeroΒ 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 outfielderΒ Alex Verdugo, and former UA playersΒ Scott Kingery,Β Brandon Dixon,Β Willie CalhounΒ andΒ James FarrisΒ all were added to Arizona Fall League rosters.
