i would have loved to see damon, fielder and grienke in high school. each one of those guys was rated as one of the top 5 prospects in the nation during their high school days, and they must have been beasts in high school.
being from mass i havent played against nearly that tough competition myself, but the best i have played with or against are sam fuld (4 year starting cf for stanford, graduated last year), rick asadoorian (sox 1st rounder in 99), brad baker (sox sandwich pick in 99), mike fontenot (lsu second baseman and orioles top prospect), gavin floyd (phillies top prospect, 4th pick overall in draft), and joe saunders (angels ist rounder in 2002 draft).
i might be fl for spring training this year, which would be great. so far my baseball jobs havent taken me to spring training yet, but this might be the year that it happens for me.
