| Joey Votto - Cincinnati
Reds - He batted .294 and hit 22 home runs in AAA
Louisville and was called up at the end of the year at
batted .321 with 4 home runs with 84 at bats. As a lefty
he struggles a bit against left-handers and he will likely
share time early on with the veteran Hatteberg, but at
some point will take over completely. |

Bay Rays - The third-overall pick in the 2006 draft
and was a Baseball America AA Minor League All-Star in

| Jay Bruce - Cincinnati
Reds - The 2007 Baseball America Minor League Player
of the Year has batted .299, hit 51 home runs and stole
33 bases in two years in the minors. He will likely start
the season as a back up, though with Josh Hamilton now
a Ranger he may start. |

| Cameron Maybin - Florida
Marlins - He is the big prospect acquired in the
Miguel Cabrera trade. At 21 he is probably a year away
from (or maybe two) being a star, but he will have a shot
to start in centerfield for the Marlins. The Marlins have
a young, but very average offense, so Maybin is a risk
unless your in a keeper league. |

| Adam Jones - Baltimore
Orioles - The big prospect acquired in the Eric
Bedard trade. The 23-year-old center fielder batted .309
with 24 home runs for AAA Tacoma. He did get the late
season call-up in ''07 and batted .246 with 2 home run
and 2 stolen bases. |

| Colby Rasmus - St.
Louis Cardinals - The Cardinals are in need of
a young hitter and Rasmus could get the call by mid-season.
He batted .275 with 29 home runs and 18 stolen bases in
AA Texas League. |

| David Price - Tampa
Bay Rays - The 6-6 left-hander was the #1 overall-pick
of the 2007 draft out of college. He will likely see some
time in the minors, but he was drafted #1 because he has
big league ready. |
