 If you have a question, send it to askba@baseballamerica.com. Please include your full name and hometown if you'd like your letter to be considered for use in an upcoming column. Also, please understand that we can't respond to every question. By Jim Callis Nov. 28, 2003 I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Here's some Ask BA to go with those turkey leftovers.
Victor Wang Bloomington, Minn. The chances that Jeremy Brown will start at catcher for Oakland in 2004 are the same as those of Beane rebuilding the A's offense around the bunt and the stolen base. There's absolutely no chance of that happening. Brown hit just .275/.388/.391 in 66 games at Double-A this year before a thumb injury sidelined him for the rest of the season as well as instructional league. Scouts still are skeptical that Brown has enough agility and athleticism to catch on an everyday basis in the big leagues. And while he continues to show impressive plate discipline, he's not ready for the majors in any other aspect of his game. The A's didn't reap any major financial benefits by making the trade. Oakland will save a total of roughly $3 million over the next two seasons, but also will owe Kotsay $6.5 million in 2006 when Hernandez' and Long's contracts will have expired. The A's don't have any in-house candidates to catch on a regular basis, though I suspect Beane already has a target in mind. One rumor is that Oakland could trade for Jason Kendall if the Pirates will pick up a huge chunk of the four years and $42 million remaining on his contract.
Jeff Wildfogel Los Altos, Calif. Vento projects as a useful extra outfielder in the majors. He's already 25, but he's persevered after entering pro ball as a 40th-round pick out of New Mexico JC in 1997. (He signed as a draft-and-follow after transferring to Santa Ana, Calif., JC.) While Vento doesn't have a standout tool, he doesn't have a major weakness either. He hits for a decent average with gap power, though he could be more selective at the plate. He's not a Gold Glover or a basestealing threat, but he runs OK and is a capable corner outfielder. Whether the Yankees will give him an opportunity to come off the bench remains to be seen.
Dennis Nosco St. Louis The Red Sox are very focused on landing Curt Schilling, but they didn't leave their top two prospects vulnerable to the Rule 5 draft. Players who are 18 or younger on June 5 when they sign their contract must be protected after four minor league seasons, while those 19 or older must be put on the 40-man roster after three. But both Ramirez and Shoppach signed contracts for the following year. Ramirez got a 2001 deal and Shoppach agreed to a 2002 pact. Neither is subject to the Rule 5 draft until after the 2004 season, when they'll almost assuredly be on Boston's 40-man roster unless they've been used in a trade. Nov. 21, 2003 With all the maneuvering as teams finalized their 40-man rosters yesterday, there were a lot of surprise omissions and inclusions. Had even the most diehard of Red Sox fans heard of Tim Hamulack before Boston signed him as a six-year free agent and protected him? Shortly before the Winter Meetings, BA prospect maven Josh Boyd will do his annual preview of top major league Rule 5 draft targets. Perhaps the best known prospect left unprotected was righthander Rodrigo Rosario. Not only did the Astros leave Rosario off their roster, they flat-out released him. Rosario ranked 13th on our Triple-A Pacific Coast League Top 20 Prospects list, and he beat the Rangers in his first big league start in June. But he lasted only two innings in his next outing before leaving with shoulder stiffness, and he was done for the year. He had shoulder surgery in August and the prognosis has gotten worse since then. Rosario had tears in his rotator cuff and labrum, as well as instability in his shoulder, and may not throw a pitch in 2004. By releasing him, Houston won't have to pay him the minimum salary while he spends the entire year on the disabled list.
Dave York Wilmore, Ky. Will the signing of Raul Ibanez cause the Mariners to lose a first-round draft choice for the fifth consecutive year? How many years can a major league team lost their first-round choice before it begins to affect the quality of their farm system? Joe Hamilton Shoreline, Wash. Free-agent compensation is determined by a statistical ranking of players at each position, based on their stats for the least two years. If a team loses a Type A free agent (in the top 30 percent at his position), it gets a supplemental first-round choice as well as the signing team's first-round (if it's not in the top 15 selections) or second-round pick (if the first-rounder is in the top 15). If a team loses a Type B free agent (in the 31-50 percent grouping at his position), it gets the signing team's first- or second-round pick (based on the same criteria mentioned for Type A free agents). If a team loses a Type C free agent (in the 51-60 percent grouping at his position), it gets a supplemental second-rounder. If a team should forfeit multiple picks for signing multiple free agents, the team losing the highest-ranked of those free agents gets the highest compensation choice. But here's the catch: The team losing the free agent has to offer him arbitration in order to receive compensation. The deadline for doing so is Dec. 7. If a team loses a free agent before then, it will automatically offer arbitration in order to get the draft picks. But unless a highly coveted player is involved, clubs almost always wait until after Dec. 7 to sign him so they can possibly avoid having to give up draft choices. With the market coming down in the last couple of years, players often can make much more in arbitration than they will as free agents, so teams often decline to offer them that option. I've had a few non-Ask BA emails asking me about the free-agent rankings for the current crop, and I've just received them from an agent. So here they are: Type A Starting Pitchers: Roger Clemens (NYY), Bartolo Colon (CWS), Kelvim Escobar (Tor), Cory Lidle (Tor), Greg Maddux (Atl), Kevin Millwood (Phi), Andy Pettitte (NYY), Sidney Ponson (SF), Kenny Rogers (Min), David Wells (NYY). Relief Pitchers: Rod Beck (SD), Armando Benitez (Sea), Mike DeJean (StL), Keith Foulke (Oak), Tom Gordon (CWS), Eddie Guardado (Min), Mark Guthrie (ChC), Shigetoshi Hasegawa (Sea), LaTroy Hawkins (Min), Darren Holmes (Atl), Steve Kline (StL), Jeff Nelson (NYY), Dan Plesac (Phi), Paul Quantrill (LA), Steve Reed (Col), Arthur Rhodes (Sea), Mike Timlin (Bos), Ugueth Urbina (Fla), Dave Veres (ChC), Gabe White (NYY), Tim Worrell (SF). Catchers: Sandy Alomar Jr. (CWS), Brad Ausmus (Hou), Javy Lopez (Atl), Brent Mayne (KC), Ivan Rodriguez (Fla), Benito Santiago (SF). First Basemen: None. Second Basemen: Roberto Alomar (CWS), Luis Castillo (Fla), Mark Grudzielanek (ChC), Todd Walker (Bos). Third Basemen: Tony Batista (Bal), Vinny Castilla (Atl), Joe Randa (KC), Robin Ventura (LA). Shortstops: Rich Aurilia (SF), Miguel Tejada (Oak). Outfielders: Mike Cameron (Sea), Carl Everett (CWS), Juan Gonzalez (Tex), Vladimir Guerrero (Mtl), Raul Ibanez (KC), Brian Jordan (LA), Reggie Sanders (Pit), Gary Sheffield (Atl), Matt Stairs (Pit), Shannon Stewart (Min). Designated Hitters: Ellis Burks (Cle), Rafael Palmeiro (Tex). Type B Starting Pitchers: Brian Anderson (KC), Kevin Appier (KC), Miguel Batista (Ari), John Burkett (Bos), Rick Helling (Fla), Rick Reed (Min), Jeff Suppan (Bos), John Thomson (Tex), Brett Tomko (StL), Ismael Valdes (Tex), Ron Villone (Hou). Relief Pitchers: Terry Adams (Phi), Antonio Alfonseca (ChC), Cal Eldred (StL), Jason Grimsley (KC), Felix Heredia (NYY), Roberto Hernandez (Atl), Curtis Leskanic (KC), Alan Levine (KC), Kerry Ligtenberg (Bal), Jose Mesa (Phi), Antonio Osuna (NYY), Ricardo Rincon (Oak), Scott Sullivan (CWS), Mike Williams (Phi). Catchers: Mike DiFelice (KC), Brook Fordyce (Bal), Todd Pratt (Phi). First Basemen: Carlos Baerga (Ari), Travis Lee (TB), Fred McGriff (LA), Scott Spiezio (Ana). Second Basemen: Pokey Reese (Pit), Fernando Vina (StL), Eric Young (SF). Third Basemen: Todd Zeile (Mtl). Shortstops: Mike Bordick (Tor), Deivi Cruz (Bal), Jose Vizcaino (Hou). Outfielders: Jeromy Burnitz (LA), Jose Cruz Jr. (SF), Jose Guillen (Oak), Todd Hollandsworth (Fla), Kenny Lofton (ChC), Raul Mondesi (Ari), Michael Tucker (KC), Rondell White (KC). Designated Hitters: Ben Grieve (TB), Ruben Sierra (NYY), B.J. Surhoff (Bal). Type C Starting Pitchers: Wilson Alvarez (LA), Pedro Astacio (NYM). Relief Pitchers: Jeff Fassero (StL), Chad Fox (Fla), Tom Martin (LA), Kent Mercker (Atl), Dan Miceli (Hou), Julian Tavarez (Pit), Rick White (Hou). Catchers: John Flaherty (NYY), Eddie Perez (Mil). First Basemen: Wil Cordero (Mtl), Julio Franco (Atl), Andres Galarraga (SF), Eric Karros (ChC), J.T. Snow (SF). Second Basemen: None. Third Basemen: Chris Stynes (Col). Shortstops: Royce Clayton (Mil), Rey Ordonez (TB), Rey Sanchez (Sea), Tony Womack (ChC). Outfielders: Orlando Palmeiro (StL), John VanderWal (Mil). Designated Hitters: None. Joe exaggerated slightly, as the Ibanez signing means that Seattle will give up a first-round choice for the fourth time in fifth years that Seattle has given up a first-round choice. The one time the Mariners used theirs, they were unable to sign outfielder John Mayberry Jr. in 2002. Here's a look at picks they've surrendered since 1999, which have had a negative effect on a system that is starting to move backward on our annual organization rankings:
Year Free Agent Pick (Round) Lost Player Selected
2003 Greg Colbrunn 19th (1st) to Ari OF Conor Jackson
2002 None
2001 Jeff Nelson 23rd (1st) to NYY OF John-Ford Griffin
2000 John Olerud 16th (1st) to NYM LHP Billy Traber
Aaron Sele 56th (2nd) to Tex SS Jason Bourgeois
Arthur Rhodes 86th (3rd) to Bal C Tommy Arko
1999 Jose Mesa 62nd (2nd) to SF LHP John Thomas
I don't understand Seattle's rush to sign Ibanez to a three-year, $13 million contract. He's a solid outfielder but nothing special, and I can't believe there was a frenzy to obtain him. The Royals weren't going to offer him arbitration, and now the Mariners will have to give them the 22nd pick in the 2004 draft.
Aaron Krawiec Phoenix You may recognize Aaron as the Cubs' 2000 third-round pick who's currently rehabbing a shoulder injury at the team's Arizona complex. Aaron has played with and is friends with Dubois, hence his interest. Several other people have asked how good Dubois is, and my answer is that he's very good. He has very good power, draws walks and hits for a decent average. He has a strong arm, though he's otherwise limited defensively. He just missed making our deep Cubs Top 10 Prospects list (which should be posted online next week) as well. Now I'll turn the question over to Josh Boyd, who put together the AFL list: I think the biggest thing to understand when it comes to our lists is that we aren't simply judging performance, especially in the AFL, and awards like MVPs don't really factor into our evaluation. As a point of reference, Steve Pegues set still-standing AFL records for hits and total bases in 1992; Allen Dina led the league in hitting in 2001; and Ken Harvey slugged .752 last year and got on base at a .537 clip in the AFL last year. (The top prospects as we rated them during those particular seasons were Ryan Klesko, Hank Blalock and Mark Teixeira.) No disrespect intended to any of the players out there or to Dubois, who had a monster season, but we aren't just looking for the all-stars because those guys aren't necessarily the ones who have the tools to advance to the majors. Harvey did, but he's never going to slug more than .700 or get on base half the time in the big leagues. We are essentially scouting plus tools, the kind that make an impact in the majors. That's the reason B.J. Upton and Delmon Young head the list. Both project as well above-average big leaguers, and there is little doubt about that in the scouting community. With the AFL season cut down to 35 games, you're essentially looking at a month of play. Even accounting for that, scouts say you can't put too much weight on AFL performances because of many factors, including the ballparks, the quality of pitching, and the intensity or lack thereof with many players worn down and many pitchers without their best stuff or returning from injuries. As for Dubois, we like him as a future big leaguer and got positive reports on him from scouts in Arizona. Our decision to include Brad Nelson and Jason Stokes at Nos. 19 and 20 on the list despite their poor performance out there was based purely on projection and upside. Both of them have been battling hand injuries that have limited their ability to drive the ball, but we fully expect them to return to mashing next year. Dubois obviously has outstanding raw power, and he showed more usable game power in the AFL. As one scout said, "He's going to have to cut his holes down. He's a dead high-ball hitter. I mean dead high-ball hitter. He has all kinds of raw power. But he's going to struggle with guys who can move the ball around. It's a matter of closing up one of his holes and realizing to lay off some of the pitches he can't handle." Basically, our lists are projecting future major league impact. If the list continued on after 20, Dubois would have been No. 21. He could have just as easily been flipped with Devil Rays outfielder Jonny Gomes at No. 18, as scouts tabbed them as similar players.
Mark White Galway, Ireland Sleep well, Mark, and kudos to being the first Ask BAer to use the word "schadenfreude" (but not the first to get a question published from Ireland). There's little chance that Big Walter Young ever will disturb your dreams. Young does have impressive raw power, but there's not much else to distinguish his game. A 31st-round pick out of Purvis (Miss.) High in 1999, he was the low Class South Atlantic League MVP in 2002 but this year saw his batting average drop 55 points, his on-base percentage dip 42 points and his slugging percentage plummet 101 points to .278/.348/.462. Those aren't overwhelming numbers for a 23-year-old in a high Class A hitter's league, especially for one who's best suited to DH. Lynchburg teammate Chris Shelton is more versatile and a better bet to succeed than Young, whose weight is listed at 295 pounds. He might become Cecil Fielder, but that doesn't mean he'll become a big league home run or RBI champion. Nov. 14, 2003 Finally, the players and owners have found something they can agree on. Unfortunately, they're both wrong. At least 5 to 7 percent of the big leaguers tested in 2003 came up positive for steroids. Gene Orza, the union representative on the committee that oversees the testing, responds in a statement: "Plainly, many of the widely publicized claims regarding steroid use in the sport turn out to have been grossly uninformed." Rob Manfred, the owners' counterpart on the committee, says: "A positive rate of 5 percent is hardly the sign that you have rampant use of anything." Baseball officials on both sides think 5-7 percent is a relatively low number? How's that?
Only in baseball could 5-7 percent of the athletes test positive for steroids, and players and owners would respond positively and act like all the suspicion has been overblown.
Michael Stern Rochester, N.Y. First, is Jason Stokes really as bad as his AFL statistics: .145/.169/.290 with 22 strikeouts in 62 at-bats? That's putrid. Second, with all the hype surrounding Zack Greinke, Cole Hamels, Scott Kazmir and Greg Miller as top pitching prospects in baseball, why isn't more attention given to the Cubs' Justin Jones? Jones isn't even considered the top arm in the Cubs system. Mike Marinaro Tampa You never should read too much into AFL statistics. They're just a small sample size, the equivalent of one month during the regular season. Yes, Stokes' numbers are discouraging, but I think the 941 at-bats he has had in the minors (.285/.352/.514) outweigh the 62 he has had in Arizona. Stokes does chase pitches out of the strike zone, but he also has tremendous power and is just 21. I attribute his lukewarm .258/.312/.448 performance in the high Class A Florida State League in great part to his offseason wrist surgery. His wrist is fine now, but it takes a while to regain strength after that kind of operation. If Stokes can gain some plate discipline, he'll be a major league star. If he doesn't, he'll put up numbers like the 2000-03 version of Jeromy Burnitz. As for Jones, I put him third on my Midwest League Top 20 Prospects list, behind Prince Fielder and Blake Hawksworth. I'm still tinkering with my Cubs rankings for our in-progress issue and the 2004 Prospect Handbook, but it looks like Jones is going to rank second behind Angel Guzman. The reason he has yet to get much mention elsewhere is that unlike the pitchers cited by Mike, Jones wasn't a first-round pick (he was a second-rounder in 2002) and hasn't pitched above low Class A. His exposure also was cut short this year when he was shut down after 71 innings with a tired arm. Jones was 18 this season, and at 6-foot-4 and 180 pounds he should only get stronger. His stuff is already plenty good: 89-94 mph fastball, a good curveball, a changeup that's advanced for his age and a splitter. If he stays healthy and improves the consistency of his pitches, he'll push himself into the Greinke/Hamels/Kazmir/Miller group. Jones could have a huge year in the pitching-friendly FSL in 2004.
Just as an aside, Stenson was one of the most impressive hitters I saw outside of professional baseball. I played in college, so I played against some unbelievable talent like Mark Teixeira and Gabe Gross, but few stick in my mind like Stenson does. I guess it had something to do with being in 10th grade and seeing a man play with boys. I think we got him out once in a three-game series and the out nearly decapitated our second baseman. I'll always remember him as one of the greatest players I ever had the privilege of sharing a field with. Seth Davis Athens, Georgia No, Seth, you're not crazy. In one of many bizarre subplots that marked the final years of Duquette's tenure as Red Sox general manager, the team promoted Stenson from Triple-A Pawtucket on July 7, 2000. He stayed in the majors for a week but never appeared in a game before he was returned to Pawtucket a week later. Duquette also refused to make Stenson available to the U.S. Olympic team, which would win a gold medal in Sydney, then didn't call him up when rosters expanded in September. Stenson broke out with an impressive .257/.376/.446 season in 1998, when he played in Double-A at age 20. He maintained those numbers for two years in Triple-A, which was a little frustrating because he wasn't progressing but also solid production for a young player at that level. After all the head games in 2000, he stopped hitting and the consensus was he needed a change of addresses to resurrect his career. That's exactly what he did after the Reds claimed him on in March.
Chris McCarthy Highland, N.Y. Some reports indicate that the Diamondbacks want Johnson and Soriano and a minor league prospect (of which the Yankees have precious few). In almost any case, a team with a young, low-cost player with as much talent and potential as Johnson or Soriano would be nuts to trade one of them, let alone both, for an eight-figured, older player, no matter how good that player might be. But the Yankees' resources are so vast that they could near a $200 million payroll and still turn a profit. They don't need to watch the salaries at any position. If they wanted, they could have a $12 million player in every spot in the lineup and rotation, plus closer, and still have $20 million left over for the other 10 spots on the 25-man roster. New York is the only team that wouldn't be cutting its throat by trading Johnson and/or Soriano for Schilling. I still wouldn't make that trade, because Johnson and Soriano should be perennial all-stars, even if Soriano has to move off second base. But I'm a lot more rational than George Steinbrenner after a three-year championship drought. Nov. 8, 2003 This edition of Ask BA comes to you from Arizona, where I'm spending the weekend and speaking at Baseball HQ's ninth annual First Pitch Arizona, a fine source for Hot Stove League talk. It always run concurrently with the Arizona Fall League, affording the opportunity to see top prospects at a time when it's usually too cold to want to play baseball back at my home outside of Chicago. I was set to lead with a couple of observations from Friday's Scorpions-Saguaros game before the result from the Olympic qualifying tournament in Panama came in: Mexico 2, United States 1. Team USA, the defending Olympic champion, won't be headed to Greece in 2004. Tommy Lasorda, the manager of the 2000 gold-medal team, was quick to pontificate: "It's a shock and a disgrace that the Americans won't be represented in the Olympics." It's not a shock, though. International baseball usually comes down to a single-elimination medal round, and anything can happen. The 1996 U.S. Olympic team was loaded with young talent, but its best pitcher (Kris Benson) got routed by Japan in the semifinals, so a championship showdown with Cuba never materialized. Against Mexico, Team USA (mostly Double-A and Triple-A players) ran into an ex-big league starter (Rigo Beltran) who threw seven innings of one-run ball and a Triple-A outfielder (Luis Garcia) who hit the game-winning homer in the ninth. There's almost no way Mexico would have beaten Team USA in a multigame series, but even the Tigers beat the Yankees once during the 2003 season. And it's not a disgrace, either, at least not for the players. They gave it their best and fell a run short. That happens. Frank Robinson didn't manage the decisive game very well, which didn't help. (Then again, Lasorda wasn't exactly a magician in Sydney, either, but his players bailed him out.) The only disgrace is that international baseball is run so poorly. Why does Europe get three teams in the Olympics, while the must stronger Americas and Asia get just two each? Because the president of the International Baseball Federation, Aldo Notari, is from Italy, and nothing more. Before we get to the questions, one correction from last time. I had forgotten that Royals outfield prospect Alexis Gomez had his age revised upward two years (with his birthdate changing from Aug. 6, 1980 to Aug. 8, 1978) until Ask BA reader John Walsh (Chicago) reminded me. Needless to say, that doesn't make me feel any better about Gomez' chances.
Matthias Peters-Kroll Woodbury, Conn. There's a strong resemblance there. Cabrera was the top third-base prospect in the game after a strong season at high Class A in 2002, and Marte is the top third-base prospect in the game after a strong season at high Class A in 2003. Here's how their numbers stack up:
Age AB 2B HR BB SO SB AVG OBP SLG
Cabrera, 2002 19 489 43 9 38 85 19 .274 .333 .421
Marte, 2003 19 463 35 16 67 109 5 .285 .372 .469
Cabrera, who is six months older than Marte, took off when he tightened his strike zone and stopped chasing as many breaking balls. Marte has more discipline than Cabrera had at the same point, so he probably won't make as dramatic a leap in 2004 as Cabrera did this year. But Marte could be the Braves' starting third baseman in 2005, and his power should continue to grow.
1. Ryan Sweeney, of (White Sox, 2nd round) 2. Ryan Feierabend, lhp (Mariners, 3rd) 3. Miguel Vega, 3b (Royals, 4th) 4. Jordan Pratt, rhp (Dodgers, 5th) 5. Jordan Parraz, rhp (Phillies, 6th) 6. Kyle Boyer, of (Cubs, 7th) 7. Adam Stanley, lhp (Braves, 9th) 8. Greg Kloosterman, lhp (Brewers, 9th) 9. J.T. Restko, 1b/3b (Marlins, 10th) 10. Cain Byrd, rhp (Rangers, 18th) Josh Boyd Durham, N.C. BA's prospect maven is referring to my 10-player draft, which I unveiled in June and recently graded, Draft Report Card-style. Josh drafted eight high school players and just two collegians, Kyle Boyer and Greg Kloosterman. The Phillies are draft-and-following Parraz at the CC of Southern Nevada, but Josh had the money in his budget to sign him and did so. Like the Rangers, Josh will DFE Cain Byrd and see if he bounces back from arm problems after a year at San Jacinto (Texas) JC. Sweeney was my first-rounder as well, and I think both Josh and I will look pretty good with this pick in a few years. He's an athletic right fielder with baseball aptitude to match his considerable tools. Feierabend is very polished for a prep lefty, with nice command of his 90-91 mph fastball and his changeup. He's still working on his breaking ball. Pratt has a live arm but is also very raw, and the same is true of Parraz. Stanley is a lefty out of the Mike Stanton mold. Kloosterman, a two-way player at Bethel (Ind.), has a polished curveball and an 88-90 mph fastball. Byrd had a low-90s fastball and mid-80s slider before straining a forearm muscle. As for the position players, Vega has a lot of raw power but isn't a very advanced hitter at this point. Boyer is a versatile outfielder, though I'm not sure if he has a true plus tool that's going to make him a regular in the big leagues. Restko has an unconventional swing yet generates lots of power. From a debut standpoint, Sweeney, Feierabend, Boyer and Kloosterman all did well, while Stanley and Restko were OK. Only Vega and Pratt struggled. Who did better? I think I did, and if you ask Josh I'm sure he'll tell you he came out on top. We both got the top player on our draft board each time our pick came up, so why would we think otherwise? We won't know for sure for a few years, and it will be fun to speculate until then.
David Jones Santa Barbara, Calif. The Tigers and Rockies jump out the most to me. Two of Detroit's first 10 picks opted to go the DFE route instead of signing out of high school, Young Harris (Ga.) JC righthander Adam Trent (eighth round) and Diablo Valley (Calif.) JC outfielder Sean Henry (10th). Trent is very projectable at 6-foot-7 and 218 pounds, and he already throws in the low 90s. Henry is an athlete with good speed, arm strength and hitting ability. Cowley County (Kan.) CC righty Josh Wahpepah (18th) drew a lot of interest this spring, showing a low-90s sinker that could gain velocity as he fills out his 6-foot-4, 190-pound frame. John A. Logan (Ill.) CC catcher John Juergens (38th) has power and arm strength but needs work on his catching skills. Colorado has four strong arms that are worth pursuing. The best is Sacramento CC righthander Ryan Mattheus (19th), who throws 90-95 mph and flashes a plus slider. Righties Friedel Pinkston (Chipola, Fla., JC; 18th), Stoney Stone (Texarkana, Texas, JC; 34th) and lefty Derek Patterson (Northeast Texas CC; 36th) also bear watching. |
