In Other News...The Rise and Fall of a Baseball Prospect

 
Ah, Melky Cabrera... This is a humorous article about the rise and fall of a baseball prospect/players. You can fill this story in with any name you want...Ritchie Sexson...Phil Hughes...Whoever!

We have to foresee these flunks, and trade them off before they cause any harm. Without further ado, I present: The Rise and Fall; Of a Baseball Star! (link)
