Braves scouting director Roy Clark gives us the five best baseball prospects he's ever laid eyes on in his 23 years in the business:
1. Ken Griffey Jr. So talented, played the game effortlessly, and had so much fun doing it.
2. Bo Jackson. Had three tools -- speed, arm strength and raw power -- better than any amateur I've ever seen.
3. Brien Taylor. Big left-handed pitcher who threw in the upper 90s. Was headed for superstardom until a barroom brawl.
4. Billy "The Kid" Wagner. Threw just as hard his freshman year at Ferrum College as he does now. Was unhittable.
5. Jeff Francoeur. State playoff time was his stage -- and both teams and everyone in the ballpark knew it.
