The Book on Billy Rowell

After a nasty 11-game hitless start last year, this pride of New Jersey somehow managed to slug .563 in his last 42 games while adding muscle and accelerating his swing even during the season. Scouts are all over the board on this one: some describe the next Barry Bonds, others caution that he may be the next Barry Bonds. Still, if he keeps moving up the system, the Orioles can't help but give him a shot in the near future... and hopefully he can stick.
