1908 Miscellania

Best Players:
1. Francisco Rivera, CF, Penn Yan.
2. Duane Blackburn, RF, Waterloo.
3. Mike Young, RF, Watkins Glen.
4. Robby Ward, SS, Seneca Falls.
5. Donnie Oliver, CF, Watkins Glen.


Best Pitchers:
1. Casey Ladner, Geneva.
2. Joe Norris, Canandaigua.
3. Edward Daybell, Watkins Glen.
4. Raul Alonso, Geneva.
5. Hayden Williams, Geneva.


Best Prospects: Position Players (age in parentheses)
1. Nick Wells, 2B, Penn Yan. (20)
2. Dennis Wallace, 1B, Seneca Falls. (18)
3. Mike Lewis, 2B, Geneva. (19)

Wallace was the #6 pick in this June's draft. He's 5'11", 250 pounds. Think Prince Fielder, circa 1908. Lewis, a 2nd round pick, has every tool except real power.


Best Prospects: Pitchers (age in parentheses)
1. Eric Groves, Canandaigua. (20)
2. Chester Smith, Waterloo. (20)
3. Patrick Davis, Penn Yan. (22)

Groves has an electric left arm, but does he have the endurance to be a front-line starter? Davis, the #1 pick in the June '08 draft, looks like a future MOP winner.
