Prospect School

The above link takes you to an article at Minorleaguebaseball.com that talks about a two-week "Prospect School" that helps top prospects prepare for their life one day as a major leaguer. For a few guys (Hansen, Pauley, Gabbard, Murphy), some will be redundant as they have all spent time in Boston. The rest are expected to be there by the end of the 2008 season. Everybody other than Nick Debarr and Clay Bucholtz was in Portland at some point last season, though most have moved on. Bucholtz is slated for the Sea Dogs rotation in 2007, but he's considered a potential ace and could move up quickly. Debarr was a Rule 5 draft pick from Tampa who has not pitched above single A. He needs to remain on the major league roster or be offered back to the Devil Rays, so he won't be on the Portland roster without a trade taking place.
