I've followed Matt Rizzotti for the last couple of seasons. Not too many New York-area kids make the majors, but the Long Island native seemed to have a chance to become the exception to the rule. After two years of posting good power numbers at AA (with sub-par defensive skills), the Phillies traded him to the Twins today. Perhaps concentrating on being a DH, especially for a club with a lack of young sluggers, can be his ticket to the majors.
