Paul was never really given a chance, and to me it seemed like the was simply tossed away. Last year Reed Johnson was brought in, this year it was Marcus Thames.There is nothing wrong with Xavier, he's just...

Prospect Profiles 2010: Xavier Paul
Overview-2009 started with a huge surge at AAA for the 4th round selection from way back in 2003.
