With all the new faces thrown in together in this spring’s free-for-all “tryout” camp, I keep trying to remember who came in from which trade. So here’s a recap, along with my thumbnail letter grades updated to reflect prospect status and progress to date in our system. Not that I’m any kind of expert in rankings, just giving one fan’s take to provide a handy reference.
