Roth Leads Young Talent in Draft
MINAS TIRITH - Beleg "Smalls" Roth was the first player selected in the 2007 draft by the Minas Tirith Titans. Roth, 18, looks to be a future star. He could already hit major league pitching, can play 2B, 3B or SS, and is a blaze on the basepaths. He leads a group of 1st-rounders that seemed to favor young pitchers this year.
