If there is one thing the San Antonio Keys are definitely good at it is developing great hitters. John Freeman is the latest and one of the best, this side of All-World player Bud Lindsay. Unlike Lindsay, Freeman has no defensive skills. But the man can rake and that was good enough for him to win the August Rookie of the Month honors and will likely lead to the same honors for the season before too long.

If the question is who is most likely to become the best right fielder in the game in the next decade, or if the question is who is most likely to become one of the best leaders- a true captain- in the game during that same time period, a pretty good answer to both questions would be Robert Mustard. He's also the guy most likely to deny Denver phenom Jim Atwell the Rookie of the Year honors at the end of this season.
