I spoke with Ward this morning and asked specifically about the amount of good, young prospect depth this year. In a nutshell, he said he's looking forward to having that much young talent. He said in years past there was a core of veterans to augment the average-level prospect talent whereas this season there's going to be a core of good young talent with only a few vets sprinkled throughout the lineup.
I'm more confident than ever that it'll be the young kids time to show and prove. He'll give them every opportunity simply because the talent is actually there in this year's crop of prospects.
