Francisco Rocha, SS

When it comes to all-time shortstops, Rocha ranks up there with Rocco Hollinger and Gilson Cravoa in the second tier. He had a balanced offensive attack with doubles, triples, home runs, walks, and stolen bases aplenty. His defense was very good early in his career, but the Indians left him at short long enough to see his decline.

Selby Spotts is the top prospect this year, having been drafted first overall last year. His stuff is coming along nicely but his control will always be lacking.


John Land has made the transition to shortstop in the Red Sox minor league system and should move quickly now.

The Arizona Wildcats are nearly a perfect .500 after 99 years - the team has a 2477-2473 record. They've now won two National Titles with the first coming in 1966. There are still 24 teams that have yet to win, with Santa Clara the best of that group. The Broncos have actually been to the playoffs more than any other team (57 times) but no championship.

A familiar high school pitcher -- Juan Carlos Di Napoli -- was drafted first overall by the Devil Rays. He won the Justin Zygmunt Award in the NCHSAA three out of four years and finished 3rd the other. He also twice finished second in the Lester Taylor MVP voting.


Connor Greenwald was the first hitter taken, a college outfielder with a great eye.

Mario Herrera, 3B

Herrera has a strange Hall of Fame case. He only went to one all-star game, but yet his overall value ranks up there with Aidan Rice and Jody Davison. He wasn't a "compiler" either, having a mostly normal career length, taking over the starting job at age 20 and moving into a backup role at age 34. He was just so consistent with 2-5 WAR every year. He also had great baserunning value, leading the league in stolen bases in both 1985 and 1986. He ranks second all-time in third basemen for stolen bases, just behind Alonso Carvajal who played in the days of huge stolen base numbers of the early 1900s.

Arnie Mendez is the number one prospect. Who is he? A 1995 scouting discovery by the Rockies with oodles of power potential, speed, and center field defense. Oh and he's durable, highly adaptable, incredibly smart, and not greedy at all.


Grayson Brantley is the top pitching prospect in this last year of the millennium. He's in AAA but still needs his changeup to improve a bit or else he'll be stuck in the bullpen.
