Interesting, thanks. By the way, Callis' previous column mentions Koby Clemens, as he ranked the top 10 sons-of-former-big-leaguer prospects:
Quote
He didn't crack my Top 10 list below because he has spent four years in Class A and did most of his damage this year in Lancaster, which might be the best hitting environment in the minors, and because it's not clear he could hack it defensively as an everyday catcher. Clemens has a much better chance of playing in Houston than he did a year ago, however, and his performance in Double-A next year will give a better indication as to his future.
New Astros manager Brad Mills' son Beau is 10th on the list.
