I'm very intrigued with the bat of catching prospect Bryan Anderson. He may have to switch positions, but his hitting should carry forward.

A lot of these C+ guys are interchangeable, so don't get too worked up because one guy is at 12 and another at 18.

I saw A.J. Van Slyke play a lot of college ball, and I think he will hit.

Rick Ankiel. . .should we regard him as a prospect? I put him in the book due to popular demand, and I do think he can contribute as a bat off the bench.

Blake Hawksworth is at 21. He's a Grade C until he can prove he can stay healthy.
