2007 The A`s fourth-round draft pick in 2001--that`s the year before the Moneyball draft--Marcus `The Scottish Play` McBeth batted .233 in three seasons as a center fielder, so in 2005 he made the logical switch from the garden to the hill. He`s had his ups and downs as a reliever, but in 2006 it was mostly up, and he`s a prospect as long as he maintains that strikeout rate (or something close to it). McBeth gets his fastball into the mid-90s and he`s working on a slider, but it`s his changeup that everybody talks about. He`s ticketed for Sacramento this spring.
