The Minor League Report – Arizona Diamondbacks Triple-A roster

Here is the minor league report for the 2010 Reno Aces, the Triple-A affiliate for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The key name to note on the roster is first basemen Brandon Allen, although the signing of Adam LaRoche in the off season seems to have him blocked for the next year or two. LaRoche has a $7.5 million mutual option for 2011 or a $1.5 million buyout. Allen, 24, has a .264 career minor league average and still has some work to do on his strike zone discipline before he returns to the major leagues.

How they rank:

Baseball America: Allen (4)
Keith Law: Allen (6)
John Sickels: Allen (3), Cole Gillespie (9)
