Man, Tyler Kuhn was a professional hitter. The 2006 Valley League MVP, Kuhn spent the 2011 minor league season split between Double-A Brimingham and Triple-A Charlotte. He hit .333/.388/.446 in 505 at-bats, along with 32 doubles, 11 triples, and 44 walks. He was only 24, and it certainly seemed like the major leagues would be in his future… but alas, he never got the call.

Juan Pierre, in only his second professional season in 1999, hit .320/.366/.390 in 585 at-bats for Asheville in the South Atlantic League. He added 28 doubles, five triples, 66 stolen bases, and a silly 38/37 BB/K ratio. He made the major leagues with the Colorado Rockies the very next August.
