A smoke-obscured Joe Saunders peers in to the plate. (Smoke from the left field barbecue blew in and out over the field throughout the game.) Saunders doesn't look like a major-league-ready prospect just yet. BA's ninth-ranked prospect in the Angels system, he's had labrum and Tommy John surgery; that he's managed to stay this high on the team's radar is an impressive accomplishment in itself. He'll start the season at Salt Lake.
