Names to Remember

These guys may not break out this season, but they have a chance for big second half call-ups. Watch your waiver wire.

1. 3B Evan Longoria

Starting 3B Akinori Iwamura may be on his way out and the highly touted Longoria could be making his big league debut. He tore up the minors last year at age 22.

2. P Gio Gonzalez

The Oakland A’s rotation is wide open heading into spring training and this 22-year-old southpaw had a 185/57 strikeout-to-walk ratio in AA last season. He could work his way into the rotation at the season’s start.

3. OF Jay Bruce

At age 20, Bruce has already moved up from A-ball to AAA. He has yet to bat under .305 in any of his stints. He will likely see time as a bench player to start the season but his production on a shaky Reds team cannot be ignored.
