Clay Buchholz' debacle in Anaheim has us looking at the first half All-Quadruple-A team: guys who are too good for the minors, but terrible thus far in MLB. We've got a starting five and our starting lineup follwed by honorable mention at each position.
P - Clay Buchholz, BOS (Angels burried him Friday night)
P - Ian Kennedy, NYY (Strong down the stretch on '07. Not strong anymore)
P - Phil Hughes, NYY (Adding injury to insult)
P - Rich Hill, CHC (Can't figure himself out at any level)
P - Franklin Morales, COL (Now he's struggling in MiLB, too)
C - Jeff Clement, SEA (Rakes in the minors, .165 in Seattle)
1B - Daric Barton, OAK (Approached .300 in minors, hitting in the .220s now)
2B - Asdrubal Cabrera, CLE (.341 in his last 10 minor league games)
3B - Dallas McPherson, FLA (Tearing up Triple-A, but he's already 28)
SS - Jason Bartlett, TB (.300-plus before reaching the bigs. Nothins special in TB)
OF - Travis Buck, OAK (The Buck stops every time he gets a shot with the A's)
OF - Felix Pie, CHC (Jim Edmonds/Reed Johnson duo means he might not return)
OF - Wily Mo Pena, WAS (Can't stop striking out, now he's out for the year)
Honorable Mention: P - Andrew Miller, FLA; P - Jeremy Sowers, CLE; P - Boof Bonser, MIN; P - Anthony Reyes, STL; P - John Van Benschoten, PIT; C - J.R. Towles, HOU; 1B/C - Jarrod Saltalamacchia, TEX; 2B - Rickie Weeks, MIL; 3B - Brandon Wood, LAA; SS - Troy Tulowitzki, COL; OF - Adam Jones, BAL; OF - Elijah Dukes, WAS; OF - Ben Francisco, CLE
