I'll continue tomorrow by discussing NL West minor league outfielders.

Today's Fantasy Rx: Every team in the NL Central owns a couple of decent outfield prospects in the upper minors, but few teams look to have openings for their talent within the next two years. Milwaukee and Pittsburgh each will have a starting slot available by 2004, but I don't like Pittsburgh's upper-level prospects and Dave Krynzel needs at least two more years of development time. The quality of talent already in the majors should keep most of the players on today's list from making a notable fantasy contribution before 2005.
