Shaun Marcum

May sound like a homer because he's a Jay, but he's ranked #445 and easily has #1 of the rotation potential. I hope you guys all pay attention to him, because before he went down to injury, he was an awesome pitcher. He find that again, he's a steal for anyone in the late rounds.

I honestly prefer Dustin McGowan over him, but if I'd said both were sleepers this year, you would've just attributed it to me being a Jays fan lol

Those are just up and coming prospects. I think they have ton of talent, but are better for leagues with keepers. Where is your boy D Brown?

you seem to follow minor leaguers pretty welll - what about starlin castro for the cubs - he's only 19 but they seem to think he'll start the year at AAA and if he does well, could be up in the majors by june. split time between A and AA ball last year, hitting 300 between the two, hitting 571 so far this spring, hit a homer last night - and the cubs need a true leadoff guy in a bad way - plus the cubs have never been shy about bringing guys up way before theyre ready

Brown won't be considered until they decide what they are doing with Werth

I think Max Ramirez will make Smoak expendable personally. Already talks of possibly moving Smoak if they move Ramirez to 1st full time

Top Cubs prospect Starlin Castro will start the season in Triple A no matter how good he looks in Spring Training, according to Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune.
