These guys could be our future Double-Play combo around the 07-08 timeframe. So far, very good offensive numbers for both. I'm not sure about their defense.
They both just got promoted, so we'll have to keep our eye on them.
"Four players have been promoted from Lexington to join the Avalanche in the second half. LHP's Troy Patton and Jeffrey Wigdahl and IF's Jonathan Ash and Ben Zobrist have been promoted after excelling in the first half of the 2005 season.
Ash, 22, was selected by Houston in the 11th round of the 2004 Draft out of Stanford University. The Legends 2B was hitting .320 with eight home runs and 38 RBI in 67 games this season.
Zobrist, 24, was drafted out of Dallas Baptist University in the sixth round on the 2004 Draft by the Astros organization . The starting SS for Lexington was hitting .304 with two home runs and 32 RBI for the Legends. Zobrist hit .339 in 2004 to lead the New York Penn League in hitting."

If we trade Burke, Ash could be our Biggio replacement by the time he's ready to retire, after his 3000 hit milestone.
