  1. I think Moore will at least top Andy Sonnanstine's 178 strikeouts for second place there. Zach Quate has an outside shot at the saves record with Montgomery. The hitting records seem safe to me.

  2. I think Moore breaks the Southern League record of 211 K's by Brian Barnes back in the early 90's Barnes needed 201 IP to get that done; Moore could do that in 160 IP

  3. Quate is tied for 9th with 25 saves in 2010, could easily move up to top 5 in 2011.

    Morrison could have another top 5 in stolen bases depending on how much time he misses with injury.

    Wouldn't be shocked if someone made the wins list this year, just not sure who, so many great starters.

    Thanks for the info Jason, I'll check if any other league records are reachable.
