Norwich has Prospects, too

Norwich Navigators :: Roster

The Norwich Navigators have a few prospects who make John Sickels' top 20 prospects list for the Giants. Chief among them is RHP Merkin Valdez (see link), walked 15 and struck out 31 in 41.2 IP with the 2004 Navigators (1-4, 4.32), one of three stops for him last year. Other pitchers on Sickels' list are Alfredo Simon, who got the opening night start, Billy Sadler and Brian Burres (see links on roster page shown above), along with OF Fred Lewis, who hit 301/424/451-8-57 with 33 steals and a lot of walks for the single A San Jose Giants last season. You can check out all of their 2004 stats by checking out Baseball America. I'll keep an eye out for these guys over the weekend.
