Over the last couple of years I have enjoyed watching guys come up from our own farm system and have success at the big league level. I was impressed with the front office and Bob Melvin utilizing the talent we have been developing instead of going out and trading and dealing for the players we needed. These young guys we lovingly call the “Babybacks” showed alot of heart and talent last year . I for one was excited at the prospect of such a young team doing so well, mostly because of the prospects of a bright future. A young team alows the players to grow together and become champions together. These young guys are looking good in spring training. Maturity and focus will bring thier game to the next level, and based on last year that should be something to watch. How exciting to see a team with the potential to be very good for a long time. These guys are just starting thier careers, they are going to be around for a long time. If they live up to thier potential, the front office will be wise to keep these guys together for a long time. I for one have high hopes for a bright future with a group of guys who are “Babybacks” no more!
