Todd Gossage has been talked to and Pete Rose Jr. talked about here on the blog. Lincoln Saltdogs first baseman Dustin Yount, fresh off his release from the Balimore Orioles farm system last year, is probably better-suited than any in the Sons of Greatness group around the indy circuit right now to get a chance to battle up to the bigs. After five full seasons within the Baltimore setup, he's still only 25 years old.
His .309 average (108 hits in 350 at-bats) this year won't blow scouts away, but it's still a career year and family names mean a whole lot (sometimes everything, depending on the case) in this industry.
