Name	Position	Organization	Age
1. Keith Ginter	2B	Houston	26
He'll start the season in AAA, but he's a Craig Biggio injury away from playing everyday.
2. Kevin Olsen	SP	Florida	25
Very similar to Brian Lawrence, who had terrific rookie year in 2001.
3. Kurt Ainsworth	SP	San Francisco	23
Gets lost behind Beckett/Ishii among rookie hurlers, more likely to succeed this year.
4. Damon Minor	1B	San Francisco	28
Not a tremendous prospect, but could probably ought J.T. Snow tomorrow
5. Ben Howard	SP	San Diego	23
Padres rotation could use a boost, and this hard-thrower could be the answer
6. Aaron Rowand	CF	Chicago White Sox	24
If Kenny Lofton doesn't hold up, he could get 400 AB's.
7. Damian Moss	SP	Atlanta	25
Unheralded lefty could early beat out Albie Lopez.
8. Corky Miller	C	Cincinnati	26
Did nothing but hit last year, and its not like the Reds have better options.
9. Victor Martinez	C	Cleveland	23
Eddie Taubensee's injury opens the door for another intriguing Ohio catcher.
10. Rafael Soriano	SP	Seattle	22
Joel Pineiro showed how Safeco Field and Bryan Price can a tremendous combination for young pitchers.
