Prospect Or Not, Pete Parise Is One To Watch

Pete Parise couldn’t even make TheCardinalNation.com’s 2010 Top 40 Prospect List, but what do we care?  Plenty of prospects never make it to Major League Baseball, and many that do, don’t last very long.  Wikipedia defines prospect in its relation to sports as any player whose rights are owned by a professional team, but who […]
