Who is it?


The Colts are high on the pitching talents of this young righthander. An all-round athlete, he played third base and in the outfield for his college ballclub when he wasn't on the mound.

Who is it?


The Colts feel they've got a real prize package in Manny. The outfielder has compiled a minor league lifetime average of over .300.
