The Book on Anthony Rizzo
Prospect Info
Anthony Rizzo
Born 8/8/1989
1B, BOS
A gritty, strong first baseman, Rizzo defeated cancer (Hodgkin's Lymphoma) to return to action in 2009, Rizzo ended up swatting near .300 in the Sally and Carolina leagues, including a dozen home runs and 37 doubles. His terrific fundamentals and plus bat speed make him a tough out: he can make solid contact to all fields on anything close to the strike zone. He'll be 20 in 2010, but he's already zooming up the Sox depth chart. Lars Anderson might want to check his rear-view mirror.
