Reno Aces (@Aces) outfielder Peter O'Brien was named to the Pacific Coast League All-Star Team as starters, the PCL announced today.
The Aces have had at least one All-Star starter since 2009 and it is the fourth time in the last five years the Aces have had multiple starters.
The 28th annual Triple-A All-Star Game will be played Wednesday, July 15, at Werner Park in Omaha, Nebraska at 5:00 p.m. PST. The PCL All-Stars, made up of 30 players from the 16 PCL teams, will compete against the International League All-Stars.
O'Brien, 24, is hitting .281 with 60 RBI, 43 runs scored, 20 doubles and 15 home runs in 74 games in 2015. He is among PCL league leaders in total bases (149 - 3rd), RBI (T-3rd), home runs (T-3rd), hits (80 - T-7th), slugging percentage (.523 - 9th) and doubles (T-10th).
The Arizona Diamondbacks (@Dbacks) honored O'Brien with its Organizational Player of the Month Award in April when he hit .383 with 20 RBI, 17 runs scored, 7 home runs and 7 doubles. It's the third mid-season honor for O'Brien who was named a South Atlantic League mid-season All-Star in 2013 and an Eastern League mid-season All-Star in 2014.

LOL @ lurker, 86cane, go Cane and their allies and what not.
Chit, U'all's opinions regarding ' socialism ' AIN'T that simple and what not.
Chit, I can remember when lurker and 86cane and go cane's RELATIVES were BEMOANING the fact, that the late FDR was leading the USA down the path of ' socialism. ' LMFAO
Well, FDR just happen to win consecutive US Presidential elections ( Of course, U'all's Johnny Rebel relatives NEVER voted for the man. ) and absolutely would have won a FIFTH straight Presidential election. If he didn't move on to the happy hunting grounds.
Chit, the VAST MAJORITY of U'all are REAPING the benefits of most of FDR's SOCIALISTIC policies and what not.
My suggestion. Stick to what you know best! LOL

### What returning under-the-radar UM players are coaches high on?
Start with linebacker Darrion Owens. According to his position coach, he was great this spring and leads Tyriq McCord in the battle for a starting job, alongside Raphael Kirby and Jermaine Grace.
“He’s a beast; can do it all, goes 100 miles per hour,” linebackers coach Hurlie Brown said recently. “He has no regard for safety.”
Among other under-the-radar players (non prominent ones) drawing praise internally: defensive end Trent Harris (has been leading in the race for the starting rush end job, though Al-Quadin Muhammad might overtake him), guards Alex Gall (likely starter) and Joe Brown, tight end Chris Herndon, and redshirt freshman David Njoku.
UM coaches believe Njoku will become a matchup nightmare at some point in his career (remains to be seen how soon) because of his combination of size (6-4) and speed and ability to play tight end, receiver and H-back.

Nice first TLuv, but of course I am a socialist so you need to share that equally with everyone, even those who rarely post.
