Despite the results of the poll, bail season has arrived, and, if it hasn't, it is very close. With the 2008 season and draft in mind, I'd like to begin, slowly, introducing fantasy prospects in the event your league allows trades for minor league draft picks. One player who will begin to get more attention is Tampa Bay OF Desmond Jennings. Yes, another Devil Ray prospect.
With a glut of outfielders on the major league roster, he won't break on to the fantasy scene in most leagues until this time next season. At that time, you will be burnishing your fantasy bona fides when your competitors realize he is unavailable because you drafted him. The improvement in his slash stats combined with his speed will compel fantasy teams to notice him.
