Prospect Q&A - Brandon Snyder, Orioles
It's supposed to get harder to put up numbers as you move up the minor league ladder, but somebody apparently forgot to tell Baltimore Orioles prospect Brandon Snyder. After struggling with injuries in his first full pro season in 2006, Snyder hit .283 with 11 homers and 58 RBI in Class A in 2007. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound first baseman followed that up by finishing second in the advanced Class A Carolina League in average (.315) last season. It took only 58 games for the Orioles to realize that Double-A Eastern League pitchers were no match for Snyder. The 22-year-old was promoted to the Norfolk Tides on Thursday after hitting .343 with 10 homers and 45 RBI for the Bowie Baysox, and he'll make his Triple-A debut Friday night.
