Excited to see Melville and Hosmer in the fold. Best high school pitcher and best high school hitter in the draft. Best power arm; best power bat.

I love the pitching depth that's being built in the system; tons of good young arms. Saves you from being up the creek if a few (as is inevitable) don't pan out, and also gives you trading options if more than expected DO pan out.

I think they're in position to compete for a wild card with a few more pieces (another RBI guy, a shortstop - assuming Aviles moves to 2B) by 2010 as long as either Butler or Gordon start living up to their potential...
