Well said… my list was getting long – but those guys certainly deserve recognition.
I really like the Who’s Hot and Who’s Cold as a weekly feature. If I might make a suggestion. Would it be possible to also produce a Top 10 Hottest Prospects list either each week or each month that is running a list of the prospects making the generating the most buzz for a potential call-up, organization player of the year, or overall prospect status.
