3. BOBBY BORCHERING, 3B The Scoop: The Diamondbacks were loaded with top picks in the 2009 draft, including five picks before the second round. Their top pick was Borchering, the 16th overall selection out of high school in Florida. The early returns were shaky, as the powerful switch-hitter wasn't doing much of any hitting. That changed this week, when Borchering had the best week of his pro career. He's had a multi-hit game in his last five games and homered for the second straight day yesterday, bringing him up to .277/.340/.422 in 104 games. 5. MATT DAVIDSON, 3B The Scoop: Here's something you rarely see: two position players who play the same position on the same affiliate taking up real estate on the Hot Sheet. Can you really argue against putting Borchering and Davidson on here, though? While one plays third base, the other serves as South Bend's DH. That really isn't ideal, especially for a pair of power hitters who need work to be able to stay at third base, but Davidson hasn't let it affect his hitting. While Borchering is just starting to get going at the plate, Davidson has performed well all season. He's hitting .300/.382/.509 with 14 home runs in 102 games for the Silver Hawks, showing a good approach, quick hands and the strength to hit for power to all fields. 10. PAT CORBIN, LHP The Scoop: Included by the Angels in their deal for Dan Haren, Corbin got his Diamondbacks career started in style, tossing eight scoreless innings and striking out everybody in sight. His second start was shortened to three innings because of a piggyback arrangement with Taylor Sinclair, but Arizona sure must be excited by its limited look at Corbin. He throws a darting fastball, working both sides of the plate, and his slider has two-plane depth. Most believe his changeup will develop in time because of his strong aptitude for pitching. A second-round pick in 2009, Corbin move quickly to the Cal League this year with the Angels, and in 13 starts at the level, he's gone 5-3, 3.42 with a 76-to-20 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 68 innings. And the news gets better for the Diamondbacks system: Tyler Skaggs is expected to join the organization on Sunday as the player to be named in the Haren trade. According to the 19-year-old lefty, all he can do now is "long toss and run." --
