1922 Season preview

Winter has been very quiet in the majors, no blockbuster deal or trade were made and general managers worked on roster depth while the most impact players will came from the draft. At the eve of the season there was an important injury to register: Edd Roush (CF - Reds) will be sidelined all season due to a fractured elbow. The injury came in a spring tranining game.

Monitoring prospects was exciting also in the twenties and for 1922 season here's the top ten:
1) Gabby Hartnett (Phillies)
2) Al Simmons (Athletics)
3) Earle Combs (Reds)
4) Ray Blades (Cardinals)
5) George Grantham (Cubs)
6) Travis Jackson (Pirates)
7) Smead Jolley (Senators)
8) Bob Fothergill (Robins)
10) Joe Hauser (Braves)

For teams, the best farm was the Cardinals one, with Cubs and Phillies respectively 2nd and 3rd. Worst farm system for Yankees and Indians. Most popular newspapers hinted that the New York Yankees were the early AL favorites while Giants were seen as back to back NL champions.
