*(11) A possible runner to the list and a late add C/DH Mark Leon, after hearing his plea, has made the 11nth spot for the S4 Rookie Watch. "Leon the Lion" brings 115 dingers and a batting average of .346 with him to test the waters in the ML. In his 3 years as a minor league Leon has proved he is not just another "pretty boy" with a mustache. The Lion has an impressive set of ratings and possesses great potential in the majors. Albeit as a DH. In fact, it was for this reason that he was overlooked for the top 10 to make an impact. He has only a 38 PC and Hobb's scouts expected him play "pinch hitter" as a DH in the NL and to back up C Bryce Park. Who, by the way, hit an impressive .323 in S3 and has a very good PC but has yet to play in a game in S4. We'll see what kind of impact the Lion can make as a DH though. So congratulations, you're now on the waiting list for the top ten!
