We'll review minor league free agents and AAA/AA prospects from the American League West tomorrow.

Today's Fantasy Rx: Jon Rauch, Kenny Baugh, Corwin Malone, and Rick Kirsten are the top pitching prospects from today's group. Rauch certainly deserves a top pick now that his first arm surgery is out of the way, and Baugh looks extremely polished even for a college pitcher. The only problem with Baugh is that he was reportedly extremely overworked in college, so you might want to wait until the middle rounds to see if someone else overdrafts him. Malone and Kirsten are both flyers if you'd like a solid pitching prospect with a low pick, as both of them are unlikely to see any significant major league time before 2003 and possibly even 2004.
