7th Round, 100th Overall: 2B Rabbit Forrest
Johnny Douglas is the worst... Not only did he cost us John Lawson, but I had to use Forrest to get some sort of value from him. After being traded in July of 1929 to the Keystones, Forrest was named the 72nd best prospect next season. As a rookie in 1930, he made 649 trips to the plate and hit .342/.388/.422 (114 OPS+) in an excellent rookie season. He's lost playing time recently to Buck Sargent, but the switch hitter manned third for the Keystones during most of the 1930-1934 seasons. He's tallied 2,786 FABL plate appearances and hit .307/.360/.396 (105 OPS+) with 322 RBI's and a single FABL homer. He's likely to hang out on the Keystones bench, but he does have the talent to start for an FABL team.

A little late to the reading party, but I had to let you know that I am poaching this guy's name for the 2299 rookie class in my dynasty! I love the name!
