    One of the best stories in Texas this spring has been second baseman Parker Dalton. He was diagnosed with malignant melanoma on the first day of Texas A&M's fall semester, yet beat the disease and was declared cancer-free six weeks later. A career .251 hitter before 2007, the fifth-year senior wasn't expect to play much of a role for the Aggies, but he has hit .384 as a starter and helped them win their first-ever Big 12 tournament title. His pitch recognition and plate discipline have improved, and he's a solid runner and defender.
