	The Baseball Analysts: Is Rocco Baldelli The Real Deal?
		Rocco Baldelli, the 21-year-old rookie center fielder for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, caught the American League by storm in April when he hit.368 and was among the A.L. leaders in batting average, hits, doubles, and RBI.
		Except for Rocco's strikeouts and walks, those numbers are very special for a first-year player who would just be a junior had he gone to college rather than straight to the pros out of high school, which he did as a first-round pick in the 2000 draft.
		Rocco bruised his knee a couple of weeks ago, but his poor production this month is more a function of not putting the ball in play coupled with a decline of almost 200 points in his batting average on BIP from his April level than anything else.

		Rocco's our first shot at home-grown greatness, and even if he still has a lot to prove, the fact that he came up in our system makes him a breath of fresh air to a fan base used to rooting for hand-me-downs.
