Tuesday, May 20, 2008Prospects or suspects (Part 2)Rich Lederer runs down some more slow starting prospects. At this point, it's probably too soon to draw strong conclusions from stat lines, but it's nonetheless always great to have more coverage of prospects, especially from sharp baseball minds like Rich's.

It's shaping up to be quite a wild year. Click for more... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
