Prospect Hot Sheet 6-24-11

• Zack Cox, 3b, Cardinals. Cox tore up the high Class A Florida State League, batting .335/.380/.439 in 164 at-bats for Palm Beach. But the 2010 first-round pick has found the going tougher since being promoted to Double-A Springfield in late May. Cox went just 4-for-26 with no extra-base hits this week, turning in a slash line of .154/.233/.154. He hasn't connected for an extra-base hit since June 15. The 22-year-old might be taking his struggles at the plate into the field. He made four errors this week and has 10 in 29 games for Springfield, which is already the second most errors among Texas League third baseman.
