Cosby looked to be on his way up after a solid 2003 performance in high Class A and a stellar spring-training follow-up, but five games into the 2004 season he completely tore the anterior-cruciate ligament in his knee and missed the rest of the year. He showed few ill effects once he returned last year, finishing among the Eastern League leaders in average, doubles and slugging percentage despite playing his home games in the brutal offensive environment of New Hampshire's Fisher Cats Ballpark. He's not patient at the plate, but Cosby makes contact and drives the ball, producing for both power and average. Defensively, he has quickness, solid hands, a strong arm and average range at third base. He's still working to regain his full speed and agility, and he's still learning how his knee will react to spins and throws on the run. The Blue Jays expect Cosby to be fully recovered in 2006, two years away from his injury, and he destined for Triple-A.
