Fantasy Baseball: Top 10 NL Rookies and Prospects

The countdown can begin! We are now mere weeks from the start to the Major League season. Sure, you still remember the great players from a year ago, but it's time to catch up to speed with the players that might not have meant much to you last year, but should for the upcoming season.

We'll get you started with the Reds' Jay Bruce. The crown jewel of the Reds' minor league system, Bruce has a real shot to open the season in CF for Cincinnati. Bruce made a stop at all three levels of the minors last year, and excelled at each one. For the season he hit roughly .319, 26 HRs and 89 RBI on his way to Minor League Player of the Year. The Reds traded last year's feel good story Josh Hamilton away for some pitching help seemingly to open up the spot for Bruce in 2008. There have been some rumors floating around that Cincinnati has been in contact with some veterans to take the center field spot, but if they are smart they will allow the future of their franchise to begin now. Keep a watchful eye on this situation.
