Translated Minor League Leaders
This report is designed to offer a weekly update on the top "translated" minor league performances to date for 2007. Translations are not necessarily a reflection of real ability but they do attempt to set a player's minor league performance this season into a neutral big league context. For additional details, please read the first column in this series.
Translated statistics are always through play completed the Sunday before publication. Translations do not mix in actual major league statistics accumulated this year and are based entirely on a player's performances between Single-A and Triple-A (excluding short-season leagues).
