'04 NL Outfielder Week and '04 position player reviews conclude tomorrow with Minor League Free Agent and AAA/AA Outfielders in the National League West.


Today's Fantasy Rx: Based on each player's keeper potential heading into his sophomore season in the majors, select rookie outfielders in the following order in minor league drafts (I've included the preferred round price for Ultra leagues): Nate McLouth($10), Luke Scott($5), John Gall($5), Chris Duffy($5), Anthony Gwynn($2), Brad Nelson($2). Only McLouth appears relatively assured of a starting job with his current team, but the other five prospects all own sufficient upside to merit draft picks in deep leagues. While Scott likely just needs to beat out Willy Taveras to spend a couple years in the Astros' outfield, and either Gwynn or Nelson easily could land a job in Milwaukee, both Gall and Duffy probably need a change of scenery to emerge as significant fantasy contributors.
