Prospects Chat
Four of baseball's best prospects answered your questions
To celebrate the arrival of the 2010 Prospect Handbook, we held an all-day chat on Friday. And to make it extra special, we enlisted four prospects--Pirates righthander Tim Alderson, Red Sox center fielder Ryan Westmoreland, Marlins first baseman Logan Morrison and Tigers lefthander Casey Crosby--to chat as well. Jim Callis started off the all-day Baseball America staff chat. Alderson led off the prospect chats, followed by Westmoreland, Logan Morrison and Casey Crosby.
• And as an extra bonus, we've compiled the scouting reports for the players who just missed making the Prospect Handbook for what we call the 32nd team. Consider this a sneak peek at what you get if you order the Prospect Handbook from us. And remember, if you order through Baseball America, you get the 31st team as well--an extra scouting report for each team, making for 932 scouting reports in all.
