David Wickersham, SP, Chicago (N), Age 19 - Although he had a 5.41 ERA, he pitched much better over the second half, and he should be the Cubs #1 starter next season.

Lloyd Johnson, 1B, New York (N), Age 19 - Lloyd hit .271 with increased playing time. There is still a chance he could be the starting catcher next season.

Alan Liao, 3B, Cincinnati, Age 19 - Liao hit .359 off the bench this season.
