Bio: he's our top prospect at this time. Widely compared to a better version of Johnny Damon. I say a better version because he has all the same baseball talent, but a better arm, and minus the greed and assholeness. He's very fast and when he comes to Boston should steal a lot of bases. Projected to be in our starting lineup by 2009. Read more.

2007 Projected Statistics: .000, 0, 0, 0, 0

Fantasy Outlook: he may be up this season, but with our outfield depth probably not. Come 2009 though, everyone will be jumping on him in drafts.
