DENVER -- On Monday night, Heston Kjerstad was at a hospital in Arkansas, where his wife, Klaire, gave birth to the couple's first child -- a son, Krue. It was a special moment for the 27-year-old. Meanwhile, in Norfolk, Va., Luis De León was having a chill night at his

Enddy Azocar may have been under the radar when the season started, but the 19-year-old isn't anymore after posting numbers that put him alongside some of the game's top prospects. The Orioles’ No. 9 prospect currently leads all teenagers in total bases (248) and sits eighth in OPS (.901) among
