John Sickels on Jeff Erickson's Fantasy Focus on XM

John notes the Devil Rays "have one of the richer farm systems," & have recruited most of their prospects from high school rather than college. Biggest of those is Delman Young, brother of the great Tigers' slugger, Dmitri. Delman has power, speed, & tools. Jeff asks John about Rays' best pitching prospects: Jeff Nieman, drafted from Rice in 2004, 6'9", very good but has health concerns; Jason Hamel, not as good as Nieman, but a 3-4 starter. Farther away is Wade Davis from the NY Penn league, expect him to emerge in A ball this year, good breaking ball. John has a book coming out on minor league baseball which can be obtained through his website or Rotowire.com.
