As I look at my roster for my NL Only team, I'm constantly reminded of the $3 bench spot that Cameron Maybin is occupying.  Sure, this is a keeper league, and I knew going into this year that  the $3 I spent was probably more for next year than this year, but I honestly thought he might have a chance at making it up to the big leagues at some point during this year....

Boston's prized pitching prospect Clay Buchholz has been tearing it up lately at AAA Pawtucket.

On Monday night, he limited Syracuse to 4 hits while striking out 3 in 5 innings of shutout ball.  Buchholz was sent down earlier in the year after struggling a bit when the Red Sox's rotation was pretty deep and they could afford to give the youngster regular work in the minors to work through a few problems.

So far this year he's posted a 1.63 ERA in 38+ innings, with a 38/15 K/BB rate.  It seems that he's regained his dominating form from last year.

The MLB 2008 draft is approaching.  Sure, it's not as popular as the NFL draft, but it can have HUGE fantasy implications.

It is very rare that you see any articles written about players in Minor League Baseball.
