Minor Happenings: Abraham Leads Lake County

"Minor Happenings" is a weekly column which covers the important developments and news in the Indians farm system. While most of the information in this report is from my own research and through interviews I have conducted with organizational personnel, some information in this report is collected and summarized from the various news outlets that cover each team.

Okay, slowly but surely I am clearing out the cache of news and notes in regard to the Indians' minor league system after being away for a little bit.  The trade activity of late and keeping up with what is going on as we near the 4:00pm deadline today has slowed things down as far as getting this information out.  In any case, I am posting the Player of the Week for this week as well as a treasure chest full of comments by Ross Atkins I have compiled over the past several days.

I plan to have another installment of Minor Happenings tomorrow, but a trade of Jake Westbrook would likely nix those plans as I research the deal and any players involved and post an article on everything.  So stay tuned!

Also, as an FYI, I will be on SportsTime Ohio's TV show "Indians Minor League Magazine" this Tuesday August 3rd.  The show airs at 6:00pm every Tuesday and is re-aired several times throughout the week.

Onto the Happenings...
