Why waste money on a farm system when you can buy the best that MLB has to offer? ;)

I was about to type that he's going to be traded because A-Rod has third base locked up, but then I remembered that all 3 prospects I listed are going to be traded too.

Gio Gonzalez (SP)
Brandon McCarthy (SP)
Josh Fields (3B)
Brian Anderson (CF)
Ryan Sweeney (LF)

taken from ESPN.........

Pittsburgh Pirates: Prospect alert: Ian Snell throws a no-hitter in Triple-A. Some scouts liken him to a poor man's Pedro Martinez, according to Baseball America.

[BubbaDrew]

I'd list Cubs prospects, But you probably have that covered ;).

Just wish we still had Sisco :(.

I have heard alot about Pitchers Matt Cain(Giants) and Zack Duke(Pirates). They are supposed to be phenominal.

[anaveragecow]

The Dodgers Joel Guzman and Andy LaRoche and the Red SoX Hanley Ramirez. They are all supposed to be outstanding players.

That's Zach with an h, by the way. :)

While we're talking about the Pirates, they have a ton of guys on their way up through the minors right now. Snell and Duke have already been mentioned, but there's catcher Ryan Doumit, catcher Neil Walker, about 5 or 6 more top-notch pitchers...

If the Pirates can manage to develop their prospects the way prospects should be developed, it won't be too many years before they'll be making a splash in the playoffs again.

[rshackelford]

I went to high school with him and he just got drafted by the mariners so I want to see Jeff Clement in the game.

[Duffman545]

Red Sox prospects: Dustin Pedroia, Hanley Ramirez, Brandon Moss, Jacoby Ellesbury (2005 draftee), Craig Hansen (2005 draftee), Anibal Sanchez, Jon Papelbon, Jon Lester, Cla Meredith, Michael Bowden (2005 draftee), Clay Buchholz (2005 draftee), and Scott Blue (2005 draftee)

feel free to leave some out, these are just my favorites :)

[Brent]

The Tigers have prospects for the first time in a couple of decades.

Pitchers
Justin Verlander
Joel Zumaya
Kyle Sleeth

CF Curtis Granderson
SS Tony Giarratano

All of these guys should be in the show during the 2007 season. Some will be part of the 2006 team.

[Nickat72]

couple of guys id like to see: Jason Pridie, Gavin Floyd, JUSTIN Upton, Greg Miller, Edwin Jackson, thats some guys besides the ones who werent said already. But it would be great to see justin upton]

[Scorey1974]

Just about everyone that has been mentioned in this thread will be in the roster file, with the exception of the 2005 draftees Duffman listed. I will be including all the 1st round 2005 draft picks. :)

I would also like to see:

Chuck James (SP)--in lieu of Jake stevens, perhaps

[Nickat72]

From the royals:
Lubanski, Butler, Maier
also there higher draft picks have played great

that would be nice

[Scorey1974]

Those 3 will be in....Butler is tearing up the minors!

[William Wallace]

Cardinals main Prospects:

Daric Barton (CA)
Anthony Reyes (SP)
Rhett Parrott (SP)
