In real baseball I would go like this

Maybin
Rasmus
Mccutchen
Wood
F-mart
Smoak
Miller

In fantasy baseball I would rank them:

Maybin
Wood
F-mart
Rasmus
Mccutchen
Miller

1. Justin Smoak, best power bat and highest offensive ceiling of the group.
2/3/4. Andrew McCutcheon, Cameron Maybin, Colby Rasmus, similar players with similar skill sets. None had outstanding years in 2008, but all were well-regarded prior to the season. Given that Rasmus and Maybin had better success in 2007, they’re probably a step ahead, then again, given they didn’t really impress in 2008, maybe not.
5. All of the rest, Wood is going to hit for power, if and when he hits, but there’s plenty of other guys in the minors with more value at this point. Miller is destined for the bullpen, and there aren’t many fantasy teams that have the depth to be targeting bullpen prospects. And F-Mart is like so many other hyped teens, too far out and a crapshoot at best. Better to roll different dice, I say.

That’s all I can say with confidence. Miller is too injury prone to rank as high as the others.

woul be first in Fantasy. He steals more bases than anyone on there, and still has a decent avg and power. In real baseball though, I would go
1. Colby Rasmus
2. Cameron Maybin
3. Andrew McCutchen
4. Justin Smoak
5. Fernando Martinez
6. Brandon Wood
7. Adam Miller

Top rated:
1 – Rasmus. Ceiling is as high as anyone’s, but his risk is lower due to plate discipline, so he gets the nod over Wood and Maybin..
2 – Wood. Ceiling is tremendous, but has whiff problems that may never us see it. That ceiling as SS is too much to drop lower, though.
3. Maybin. Again, high ceiling and with K problems. Doesn’t have the power of Wood, and CF loses out to SS.

Next tier:
4. McCutchen. Low risk, just doesn’t have the ceiling of the top 3.
5. Smoak. Great upside bat, but he has to hit to prove his worth at that position. Still relatvely untested.
6. Fernando Martinez. I still want to see actual stats, not just ARL. Gets docked for sliding down the defensive spectrum.

7. Adam Miller. Just too high risk…not just that it keeps him off the field, but also that a cumulative effect will start to affect his stuff.

I could go back and forth on 5,6, 7 though.

1. Colby Rasmus

2. Cameron Maybin

3. Andrew McCutchen

4. Brandon Wood (Positonal scarcity… could he be a SS? Tons of power and is now underrated)

5. Justin Smoak (Only a 1B and far off)

6. Fernando Martinez (Extremely overrated IMHO. Has never really done anything impressive as a professional, outside of ARL performance… which only gets you so far in my book. Ceiling nearly as high as the others, but Im not a fan…).

7. Adam Miller (Hurt all the time… I think he’s a bullpen guy, ultimately.)
